When you are ready to make a booking, you will find that we do ask a lot of questions. This is because we are very thorough and after 30 years of experience and with around 5000 bookings nationally per year, we know how important it is to have all the bases covered well prior to the function. With this level of preparation everything comes together perfectly on the day.
So when you ring to make a booking, please have all of the following information available. We would then be able to accept the booking, and issue the paperwork straight away, otherwise we will require you to ring back with the required missing information before we are able to issue the paperwork and complete the booking.
We require;-
(1) The Booking DATE (the date for the function)
(2) Your NAME (client - the person who is making the booking)
You cannot make a booking on behalf of someone else. The client is the person with whom we will be having the main contact for all aspects of the booking. If the booking should be in someone else's name we will need to speak directly with them. The client must be 18 years or over.
(3) Your EMAIL ADDRESS and POSTAL ADDRESS
So we can forward to you the booking confirmation/hire forms, and receipts etc.. All written correspondence nowadays is by email including booking forms and receipts with the posting of paperwork only when a client does not have an email address.
(4) We require a minimum of 3 TELEPHONE NUMBERS
This is to ensure that we are able to contact you (the client) and a backup person as well. In addition to these 3 "client contact" numbers we also need the telephone numbers for the venue and or caretaker.
We require 2 numbers for you as the client and another number for someone else also connected with the function, just as a backup.
Example: For you, the 2 numbers could be -
Phone 1 (Your Mobile, Home or Work) e.g. 1234 5678 home
and
Phone 2 (Your Mobile, Home or Work) e.g. 8765 4321 work
Example: another number- someone else also connected with the function
Phone 3 (Other Person - Mobile, Home or Work)
e.g. 0412 345 678 John Smith
This 3rd number could be a freind, relative or perhaps a work collegue
Important - For privacy reasons, only those persons named on the booking are able to ring up for information about the booking.
If the function is to be a surprise please have alternative "safe" numbers available. It is especially useful to have a number with a messaging service in the event that we are not able to contact you, in particular a few days before your function when we wish to inform you of delivery and pick up times.
(5) WHAT DO YOU WISH TO BOOK?
Touch Screen Jukebox, or Touch Screen Jukebox + Karaoke.
(6) NAME OF THE VENUE (If other than a private address)
e.g. "Smithfield Town Hall", or "Smithfield Hotel" or "Smith's Restaurant", "Smithy's Room", etc..
(7) VENUE PHONE NUMBER
If the venue is at a private address we will need that home phone number. If at a Hotel, restaurant, Club or Hall etc. we will need the phone number for the venue and in some cases particularly with clubs, restaurants and halls, we will require the number of the caretaker (the person who is in charge of issuing the keys). We require this number even though you the client may have a set of keys on the day. This will ensure that in the unlikely event that access is restricted to the hall for example, we will have the caretaker's number on our paperwork so that they can be contacted promptly and come to the rescue.
(8) VENUE ADDRESS
Exact street and suburb address. e.g. 123 Smith St Smithfield (Map or diagram may be required for difficult to find locations).
(9) Helpful ACCESS INFORMATION
Example: 2 kms from intersection, 3rd House on left with red roof.
Or Car park access stairs to 1st level.
Or Wilson function Room 3rd floor lift access, inquire at reception.
