“Do you earn commission from recommending other suppliers”
We never work on any commission based agreements with the friends we recommend.
Their inclusion on our site is purely down to having 100% confidence that we are able to recommend companies who will compliment our services and add a little something special to any occasion.
This is far more important to us than any commission another business has to offer us.
