Policy Statement: This policy outlines the terms and conditions for the payment of wedding celebrant services provided by Sun Kissed Ceremonies. The goal is to ensure clear communication and a transparent financial arrangement between the celebrant and the couple.
1. Booking and Reservation:
- A booking fee of $250 is required to secure the services of the celebrant for the specified wedding date and time. This will come off the total amount.
- The booking fee must be paid to confirm the celebrant's availability.
2. Ceremony Package Payment:
- The remaining ceremony package fee is due 14 days or earlier, before the wedding ceremony.
- Payment can be made via cash or electronic transfer.
3. Additional Services:
- Any additional services requested by the couple that are not included in the standard ceremony package will incur an additional fee, as per the price guide. The celebrant will discuss and agree upon the additional charges with the couple before providing the extra services.
4. Cancellation Policy:
- In the event of cancellation by the couple, the booking fee is non-refundable.
- If the wedding is cancelled 14 days or less before the scheduled date, the full ceremony package fee is still applicable.
- If the ceremony has been paid in full but cancelled with more than 14 days' notice, the remaining fee will be refunded, less any add on costs.
5. Rescheduling:
- The celebrant understands that unforeseen circumstances may require the rescheduling of the wedding ceremony. In such cases, every effort will be made to accommodate the new date, subject to the celebrant's availability.
- If the celebrant is not available on the rescheduled date, the booking fee may be forfeited, and the couple may need to negotiate a new fee for the celebrant's services.
