These terms cover this ceremony and hosting.
- Your notice of intended marriage. Your signed notice must reach me one to 18 months before, counted from receipt; I cannot waive that. If it is late, a court or registry officer may shorten the time on limited grounds; my letter is $300. Otherwise the day becomes a commitment ceremony, legal signing later included.
- The booking. The deposit holds your date; the balance is due a month before, like your notice.
- What is included. Your package sets the inclusions and MC hours, from your reception's start, always with your notice, script, paperwork and lodgement. Extra unless listed: MC time $100 per hour when you ask, rehearsal $150, official certificate $70. Bring two witnesses aged 18 or over, or I supply them at $50 each.
- Travel. Travel past your package is $1 per km; a night away adds accommodation at cost, shown to you first.
- Lateness. A start over 20 minutes late, on your side, adds $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 and your notice holds, less costs bought at cost; else the scale runs from your request.
- Transfer. Your notice moves to another celebrant only with your agreement; if you ask, I transfer it promptly, as a cancellation.
- If I cannot attend. If for any reason I cannot attend, I arrange another authorised celebrant where possible, for you to agree, at my cost; if your notice cannot reach them, it is a commitment ceremony, legal signing later included. 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 and paperwork time at $50 per hour, hours shown, up to the deposit. With 31 to 59 days, I keep the price less what refilling the date earns and costs saved, up to the deposit. Under 31 days I keep the price less what refilling the date earns and costs saved, never more than the payments due.
