Logie Country House Terms & Conditions

LOGIE COUNTRY HOUSE – WEDDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions form a legally binding agreement between Logie Country House (Logie Estates Ltd, “we”, “us”, “our”) and the person or persons making the booking (“you”, “your”, “the Lead Guest”). By making a booking, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and accept full legal responsibility for the conduct, safety, and actions of all guests, suppliers, and visitors you invite to the property during the hire period.

BOOKING TERMS

A booking fee is required at the time of booking. You are booking the entire house, including all rooms and associated facilities.

You are required to take out your own comprehensive wedding insurance when making a booking. This insurance should provide a full refund of all your costs, including suppliers, should your wedding be unable to go ahead for any reason. You must ensure that your insurance includes at least £3 million in public liability cover.

• £1,500 (weekend booking) or £1,000 (mid-week booking) booking fee is required to secure the booking.
• A valid credit or debit card must be provided to guarantee the security deposit prior to check-in. The card expiry date must extend beyond the scheduled check-out date. We may pre-authorise a card to cover any potential damage. Charges will only be applied if damage occurs.
• All accommodation is strictly non-smoking. A deep cleaning fee of £500 per room will be charged for any breach.
• Smoking is permitted outdoors only, away from doors and windows.
• Check-in is from 16:00. Check-out is by 10:00. Early check-in (13:00) and late check-out (12:00) are usually available upon request.
• All quoted rates are inclusive of applicable taxes.

You accept that this agreement constitutes a short-term licence to occupy the premises and does not create a tenancy.

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION

Our cancellation policy reflects the long lead time typical of wedding bookings. Cancellations reduce our ability to re-let at the same rate.

• 50% of the total fee must be paid at least 14 months prior to your wedding date.
• The remaining balance must be paid in full at least four months before the wedding.

Refund Policy:

• 100% refund including booking fee if cancelled with at least 23 months’ notice.
• 100% refund (excluding booking fee) if cancelled between 15–23 months.
• 50% refund (excluding booking fee) if cancelled between 12–15 months.
• No refund if cancelled with less than 12 months’ notice.

If we can rebook the cancelled date, we will offer a refund of up to 100% of money paid (excluding booking fee), regardless of notice period. Refunds (if applicable) will be issued one week after the rebooked wedding has taken place and payment received.

We reserve the right to:

• Take any due fees from the card used for reservation.
• Cancel or alter any reduced rate or free rebooking following cancellation.
• Charge the full published rate for any rebooking if the original was refunded via insurance.

If your wedding is cancelled due to a local or government ban, we will refund money paid (minus expenses incurred) or offer an alternative date only if your insurance claim and appeal are both rejected.

We will not be liable for:

• Third-party costs or expenses
• Weddings affected by government restrictions where the event could still legally proceed
• Any guest unable to attend for any reason
• Circumstances beyond our control (force majeure)

We reserve the right to cancel the booking without refund if final payment is not received four months prior to check-in.

All refunds will be made to the original payment source.

All cancellation and refund terms are based on the Applicable Event Date which is the earliest event date agreed for that booking (i.e., the soonest in time out of all dates set for that booking, whether described as original, postponed, rescheduled, or brought forward). 

INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Logie Country House, its owners, agents, and employees against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Injury or accident involving your guests, suppliers, or invitees
• Damage to the property or contents
• Breach of these Terms and Conditions
• Enforcement of these Terms and Conditions

THE HOUSE

You are booking the entire house, including bedrooms, ballroom, pool, outbuildings and estate grounds (“the House”). You are responsible for all guests and suppliers on site and for collecting any payments for individual rooms if relevant.

We reserve the right to ban any guest or supplier from the property.

You must ensure all guests behave respectfully. We reserve the right to eject guests without notice or refund for behaviours including drug use, excessive noise, damage, smoking indoors, or reckless driving.

The Lead Guest is responsible for:

• The behaviour and safety of all guests and suppliers
• Admitting only invited persons and preventing gate crashers
• Ensuring the property is locked and secured when unattended
• Controlling access to the swimming pool and enforcing safety rules

The pool is locked at check-in. Lead Guests control access and are responsible for:

• Only unlocking it when two or more adults are present
• Ensuring children are never given unsupervised access
• Ensuring pool doors are never wedged open
• Ensuring the pool is not used on the wedding day itself

Logie Country House accepts no liability for pool-related incidents.

You will be liable for any damage, loss or injury caused by you, your guests or suppliers, including:

• Accommodation being out of service
• Costs of guest relocation
• Costs of repairs or replacements

We do not permit self-catering when restrictions apply. 

Any extraordinary furniture movement must be pre-approved and carried out at your cost.

The Ballroom is available only on the wedding day, with access to set up usually permitted the day before. Next-day use must be pre-agreed.

PROHIBITED ITEMS & ACTIONS

The following are strictly prohibited:

• Fireworks of any kind (including silent and indoor fireworks)
• Chocolate fountains
• Confetti outdoors or indoors except biodegradable inside the ballroom or main entrance hall
• Confetti cannons anywhere
• Candyfloss machines
