Testimonials:

SIMON SAID: The course on Friday was excellent. I gained a phenomenal amount of information from Damien - far more than I could have imagined - and you all made me feel very welcome. So thank you to all of you. I can't wait for "Shooting Weddings" in June!
 
STEVE AND LORRAINE SAID: We just thought we would drop you a few words to let you know how much we both enjoyed the business of weddings course last Wednesday. Both Lorraine and myself found the whole course extremely informative, well structured and most of all has inspired us to move our business to a new level armed with some very useful tools.

Cancellation Policy: As our costs for each workshop remain the same no matter how many delegates attend, please note that just like any pre-booked tickets for the theatre, concert, flights etc, we are unable to give any refund in the event of non-attendance, regardless of the circumstances. The exception to this is if we have prior notice and are able to put a cancellation place back online AND your place is resold. In this event we will of course make a full refund or credit to you. We also reserve the right to cancel any workshop if there is insufficient demand, especially if it means that our costs would be higher than our income. Please therefore do not leave it until the last few weeks if you are interested in a particular date, as you may find that it has been removed!
