The timings for any function taking place will need to be approved in advance by the Jamaat Office. During Term times, weekend functions may not commence before 5pm. For Bank Holidays, please contact the Jamaat Office.
The Jamaat reserves the right to take multiple bookings for the same date. The Halls will be allocated on a first come, first served, basis.

Preparing the Bridal area

Access will be provided to the Centre for the purpose of decorating the bridal area on the afternoon of the function. Please liaise with the admin office to arrange this. Please do not stick any decorations on the walls.
You are permitted to arrange for one flower pot to be located on either side of the bridal seat (i.e. two in total)
All decorations, including the bridal sofa, must be cleared by the hirers at the end of the function. You are not permitted to store any furniture overnight in the Centre.

Please refrain from throwing or sprinkling confetti, flower petals and suwa-dana, either inside or outside the Centre.

Video Filming

Video Filming, whilst permitted, should be restricted to the ceremony and the close family members. Filming of the public during or after the function is not permitted.

Photographs

Although photography is permitted, only the allocated photographer in the ladies section may take photographs in the ladies hall. Guests are not permitted to take their own photographs, in order to preserve the hijab of the female guests. Any guests seen taking photographs (including on their phone) will be asked to refrain from doing so, and a failure to comply may result in the confiscation of their camera/phone for the duration of the function. They may then collect their camera/phone from the Jamaat Office once the function has ended.
At mixed functions, where both the ladies and gents hall is hired, men may not enter the Ladies hall and vice versa. Specifically, the groom is not permitted to enter the Ladies hall for the purposes of taking photographs.

The Jamaat reserves the right to amend the above guidelines as and when required.
