These terms cover the ceremony you approve on this page.
- No legal effect. This ceremony has no legal effect, and its certificate is a keepsake, not a legal record. A legal marriage is a separate booking with its own notice of intended marriage.
- The booking. The deposit holds your date, and the balance is paid 14 days before the ceremony.
- What is included. Your package above sets the meetings, the writing and the rituals. Ritual items such as candles or sand are yours unless listed above.
- Travel. Travel beyond 60 km of my base is $20 for each 10 km, shown to you first.
- Lateness. A start delayed on your side costs $50 for each started hour I wait past 20 minutes, up to $300; I tell you first.
- GST and loadings. Prices include GST where it applies. Public holidays add 30 percent; other loadings show above with rate and days, never stacked; if none is shown, none applies. Card payment adds no fee.
- Date moves. One move within 12 months of the booked date keeps all paid if I am free, less costs bought at cost; else the scale runs from your request.
- If I cannot attend. If for any reason I cannot attend, I offer another celebrant of equal standing for you to approve, paid by me from your fee. If you decline or none is arranged, all paid is refunded.
- Cancellation. In writing; I keep only the real loss. With 60 days notice or more, all is refunded less writing time at $50 per hour, hours shown, up to the deposit. With 14 to 59 days, I keep the price less what refilling the date earns and costs saved, up to the deposit. Under 14 days I keep the price less what refilling the date earns and costs saved, never more than the payments due.
