Wedding & Music Packages

1.1 A booking shall be deemed confirmed only upon receipt of a written booking confirmation from the Provider (via Niamh O’Connor directly or through niamhoconnor.ie) and payment of a deposit equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the total fee.

1.2 Only bookings made directly with Niamh O’Connor or through niamhoconnor.ie are considered confirmed once a deposit has been received.

For the avoidance of doubt, any booking made through a hotel, venue, or third-party entertainment agency is not confirmed unless acknowledged in writing by Niamh O’Connor or through niamhoconnor.ie, with a deposit received. The Provider accepts no liability for any representations, confirmations, or bookings made on her behalf by third parties without such confirmation. Bookings made through any third-party platform, agency, or intermediary are subject to that third party’s own terms and conditions.

1.3 The deposit is strictly non-refundable, save where the Provider cancels the engagement pursuant to Clause 3.

1.4 The balance of the fee shall be payable in full no later than 30 days prior to the Event Date. Failure to remit payment by the due date shall constitute a material breach of contract and may result in cancellation of the booking, with the deposit retained by the Provider.

2.1 All cancellations must be communicated in writing.
2.2 In the event of cancellation by the Client:

• The deposit shall be retained by the Provider in all cases.
• Where cancellation occurs less than 6 months prior to the Event Date, the Client shall remain liable for up to one hundred percent (100%) of the agreed fee, at the Provider’s discretion, to compensate for loss of earnings and commitments made.

3.1 In the unlikely event that the Provider is unable to perform due to illness, accident, or other unforeseen circumstance, the Provider shall use reasonable endeavours to arrange a suitable replacement performer.
3.2 If no replacement can be secured, all monies paid by the Client, including the deposit, shall be refunded in full, and the Provider shall have no further liability to the Client.

4.1 The Client shall provide accurate details regarding the Event, including but not limited to venue, timings, and special requirements, at the time of booking.
4.2 Any amendments to the Event details must be notified in writing no later than 10 days prior to the Event Date. The Provider reserves the right to refuse material changes if unreasonable or impracticable.
4.3 The Client shall ensure that the venue is adequately equipped and licensed for live music performance, and shall provide:

• Suitable performance space;
• Access to electricity where amplification is required;
• Reasonable time for set-up and soundcheck (minimum of 90 minutes  prior to performance).

The Provider shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, extreme weather, venue failure, pandemic restrictions, industrial disputes, or governmental action.

6.1 The Provider’s liability for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be limited to the total amount paid by the Client under the booking.
6.2 Under no circumstances shall the Provider be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Client consents to the Provider capturing and using photographs, audio, or video recordings of the performance for promotional purposes.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts in relation to any dispute arising hereunder.
