Changes:

Changes to this Agreement including, but not limited to, the date, time and/or location of the Event must be communicated in writing by the client/s and approved by the Celebrant in writing.
 

Fees:

The fee for a wedding ceremony is €.
A non-refundable booking fee equal to one hundred (€) euros is to be paid upon execution of this Agreement, at which point Celebrant will commence services. The full balance of any unpaid fees including ceremony fees, rehearsal fees (if applicable) and/or travel fees (if applicable, *SEE NOTE below on travel fees), shall be received by Celebrant four weeks prior to the start of the event. If Client/s fails to remit as specified, Celebrant shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement without further obligation to refund money, including the aforementioned booking fee, or to perform services at the event.

The booking fee is transferrable to another date and time as long as Client/s requests a change in writing at least three months prior to the event date and the Celebrant is available.  If the Celebrant is not available at the new date and/or time, all fees paid in excess of the booking fee will be refunded.  If the Client/s requests a change in writing less than three months prior to the event and the Celebrant is unavailable, all fees paid to date are forfeited by Client/s.

*Travel Fee Note (if applicable): Travel fees may be charged along with toll charges, and will be added to your final invoice, if applicable. *
 

Cancellation & Refunds:

Cancellations must be communicated in writing.  If written notice of Cancellation of Services is provided by Client/s at least three months prior to the event date, all fees paid in excess of the booking fee will be refunded.  If written notice of Cancellation of Services is provided by Client/s less than three months prior to the event date, Client/s shall be responsible for full payment of Services, except for travel fees, if applicable.  If written notice of Cancellation of Services is provided by Client/s, the Celebrant shall be released to make commercially reasonable attempts to rebook the date and time of the event.  

In the unlikely event that the Celebrant is unable to perform the ceremony for unforeseen circumstances (i.e. transportation breakdown etc) Celebrant shall be allowed to make reasonable attempts to provide a replacement Celebrant for Client/s. 

Please Note: Should you request your ceremony be rescheduled to a new date, an admin fee of €50.00 applies, this fee also applies for the admin of the cancellation of a ceremony.

​

Additional Terms:

If the event includes any Ceremony Enhancements (eg. sand ceremony, unity candles, flower ceremony and/or any other special feature), the clients are responsible for furnishing all equipment needed to perform such feature(s) unless an agreement has been made in advance and is indicated on the ceremony draft.
 

Image/Photos:

The celebrant would like a photograph with the Client/s on your wedding day, to use on social media (i.e. a congratulations post) but Celebrant respects the Client/s privacy should they not wish to.
 

Weather/Outdoor Ceremonies:

If an outdoor ceremony is planned and the weather is a factor, the celebrant will refrain from using his electrical equipment (IE Mics and Speakers).  This includes situations where temperatures exceed 30°C or there is a possibility of rain during the setup and duration of the ceremony.  While the celebrant is willing to conduct ceremonies in any weather conditions, it is requested that appropriate shelter be provided, such as a patio umbrella or gazebo.

The celebrant also assumes no responsibility for any food, beverage, floral arrangements, or decorative items, either personal or professional, brought by anyone prior to, during, or after the event.
