Finances with Gobananas
Private and Corporate Bookings
The majority of suppliers will require a 20% deposit for a booking. Depending on the time of year and size of your booking suppliers may need the balanced paid normally 28 days before the date, however some bookings may require payment 8 weeks before the date.
Stag and Hen Bookings
If you are organising a stag or hen weekend its important to plan ahead to give yourself enough time to get the cash in.
Most places will require a 20% deposit on booking which is generally non-refundable however, most suppliers understand that group numbers will go up or down. As long as you confirm numbers 4 weeks prior to arrival you will generally find that the deposit will go towards the balance and you won’t loose money.
Ask everybody going on the weekend to pay the 20% straight away, this will tell you who is serious about coming and who is not. You will want to try and get the full balance off everyone at least 6 weeks prior to the date which will stop you panicking about having to pay for people. There is nothing worse than trying to chase everyone the night before for payment.
