What to confirm before payment

  • Confirmation of the booking and the total including tax
  • Guidance on the timing of payment and available methods for each service
  • Confirmation of the amount shown for card, electronic money and QR code payment
  • Guidance on the online payment route used after confirmation
  • Guidance on the policy that applies to changes and cancellations

What cannot proceed before confirmation

  • Sending the form alone confirms neither the booking nor the amount
  • Chauffeured pick-up (attached to your plan; availability confirmed at booking)
  • We do not serve meals; you are welcome to bring food and drink
  • Made-to-order items from the Online Shop cannot be cancelled after payment
Changes

Changes and cancellations follow each service's terms, not the payment method

How a change is handled is not decided by whether you paid in cash or by card; it depends on the service, when you contact us and how far preparation has progressed. If your plans change, please do not cancel the payment first; contact your butler with your booking details to hand.

For The Salon, The Studio and The Footman, please see the price page and cancellation policy of each. Conditions that differ from the usual, such as monthly membership, an estimate for a location shoot or advance payment for a gift, are explained individually before confirmation.

The Online Shop includes made-to-order items. Please check the conditions on cancellation after payment, returns and damage in transit on the product page and at checkout before ordering.

The Japan Butler Association, the general incorporated association that operates Queen's Butler, reconciles booking details with payment records. If anything is unclear, please ask before paying. The male and female butlers who serve in the Manor carry through the guidance given at booking, confirming in turn the date and time, numbers, service, total including tax and timing of payment.
