Your booking isn’t confirmed until the deposit has been paid for every guest.

    • We hired Black Ducks for our wedding in August 2022. They were absolutely brilliant and made our day all the more special!!! We had a few hiccups due to a mistake my end and Jimmy and Co went out of their way to ensure things were sorted in time for our reception. Amazing Service. A FANTASTIC company and 100% Service. I cannot recommend them enough and they would be a welcome service to any party/wedding our gathering. Thanks Guys!!

    • I couldn’t have been happier with Black Ducks bar at our event. The wooden bars looked great, the bar staff were really friendly and the drinks kept flowing. What more do you need, really? Will definitely recommend to friends.
