Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 March 2026

1. Introduction

These terms of service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website and services provided by The Co-Ord, a wedding and event coordination business based in Manchester, England. By using our website or booking our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you have any questions, please contact us at enquiries@theco-ord.co.uk.

2. Our services

The Co-Ord provides day-of coordination services for weddings, corporate events, private celebrations and cultural ceremonies. Our services include pre-event preparation, vendor liaison, timeline management and on-the-day coordination as outlined in your individual booking agreement.

The specific scope of services for your event will be confirmed in writing as part of your booking. Any additional services requested beyond the agreed scope may incur additional charges, which we will discuss with you in advance.

3. Booking and payment

How to book

To secure your booking, you must pay a deposit as specified in your quote. Your booking is not confirmed until we have received your deposit and sent you a written confirmation.

Deposits

A deposit is required to secure your event date. The deposit amount will be specified in your individual quote. Deposits are non-refundable except in the circumstances outlined in the cancellation section below.

Final payment

The remaining balance is due as specified in your booking agreement. We accept payments via our secure online payment system, powered by Stripe. We do not store your card details.

4. Cancellation and refunds

Cancellation by you

  • More than 30 days before the event: You may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of your deposit.
  • 30 days or fewer before the event: Your deposit is non-refundable. If you have paid any amount beyond the deposit, we will refund the remaining balance minus the deposit.

In exceptional circumstances (such as bereavement, serious illness or government-imposed restrictions), we may, at our sole discretion, offer a partial refund or credit towards a future event. Please contact us to discuss your situation.

Cancellation by us

In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your booking (for example, due to illness or an emergency), we will provide a full refund of all payments made, including your deposit. We will make every reasonable effort to find a suitable replacement coordinator if possible.

Date changes

If you need to change your event date, we will do our best to accommodate the new date. Date changes are subject to availability. If we are unable to accommodate your new date, the cancellation terms above will apply.

5. Our responsibilities

We will:

  • Provide the coordination services as outlined in your booking agreement
  • Act professionally, diligently and in your best interests at all times
  • Communicate clearly and promptly throughout the planning process and on the day
  • Use reasonable skill and care in the delivery of our services
  • Hold valid liability insurance for the services we provide

6. Your responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information about your event in a timely manner
  • Respond to our communications within a reasonable timeframe
  • Ensure all vendor contracts are in place before the event date
  • Make all payments by the agreed deadlines
  • Inform us promptly of any changes to your event plans

7. Limitation of liability

While we take every care to ensure your event runs smoothly, there are certain matters that fall outside our control. We are not liable for:

  • Vendor performance: We coordinate with your vendors on your behalf but are not responsible for the quality, timeliness or performance of any third-party suppliers. Each vendor operates under their own contract with you.
  • Weather conditions: We are not liable for any disruption, delay or changes to your event caused by adverse weather conditions.
  • Venue issues: We are not responsible for any issues arising from the venue itself, including but not limited to equipment failures, access restrictions, noise complaints or venue staff actions.
  • Force majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing our services caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, transport disruptions or power outages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or in connection with our services shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to us for the event in question.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Use of images and testimonials

With your permission, we may use photographs or video from your event on our website, social media and marketing materials. We will always seek your consent before using any images that identify you or your guests. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us.

10. Privacy

Your personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By using our website and services, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in that policy.
