How the Famshire Party Portal
works for customers
When looking to organise a kids birthday party, it can be complete chaos trying to align all components that go into planning the perfect party. Famshire Party Portal allows you to add multiple services to your basket (such as party venues, party invites and party food) and book everything you need on one booking platform, with real-time availability, secure payments and booking confirmations straight to your inbox.
1. What is the Famshire Party Portal?
Famshire Party Portal is an all-in-one booking system that allows you to conveniently plan a party in minutes with secure payments and real-time availability. Businesses are listed on the portal where customers can filter by location or price and choose which vendor they want to book for their party. If you’re looking for suggestions for kids’ birthday parties, you can search by theme such as a Super Mario party, football party or princess party.
2. What type of businesses can I search for?
You can find everything you need for planning a party. For example, if you’re planning a children’s party, you can search for things such as a clown, invitations, party food, party bag suggestions and party entertainment.
3. Can I book multiple vendors at once?
Yes! This is exactly what this platform is designed for. The portal enables you to book as many vendors as you like for your party, based on availability and location. You can be as specific as you like, you can order a Harry Potter birthday cake and book a children’s entertainer for a kids party, or a venue and DJ for a sweet sixteen.
4. Is there a booking fee?
No booking fee. The prices match those on our vendors’ websites.
5. How do I know the vendors are reliable?
We only list vendors who have a valid professional insurance certificate. Additionally, they review all bookings and confirm them prior to payment. This means that they are contractually bound to fulfil the service they advertised. A breach of this carries significant consequences for the business. In some cases, some cancellations may be unavoidable. In these instances, Famshire will help the customer find a suitable alternative. Where this is not possible, the customer will get a refund for the cost of the service.
6. What happens after I book?
After you book, you will receive a tentative booking confirmation straight to your email. The vendors will then have 2 working days to confirm the booking. Once accepted you will be notified and your booking will be reserved.
7. What if a vendor cancels?
If a vendor cancels due to unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a full refund.
8. Do I pay the full amount up front?
Customers have two options. You can either pay in full up front or pay through our trusted staggered payment partner Klarna.
9. What if I need to change or cancel a booking?
You have 14 days to change your mind for a full refund. Assuming that goods have not been delivered or services provided. You need to let us know as soon as possible if you want to change or cancel your booking. We will try our level best to make the necessary changes to your booking and see if you are entitled to your money back.
10. What if I need to contact a vendor beforehand?
You can message a vendor via the dashboard where your bookings are visible. A vendor will be notified of your message and they should respond within 2 working days.
