The scope

What the client reads

This is the wording the template arrives with. Yours replaces it.

A marriage ceremony for couples eloping, alone or with fewer than 15 guests, at a place you choose. It is simpler and shorter than a full ceremony, with less writing, but the legal paperwork and the care are the same. I prepare and lodge your notice of intended marriage, lead a ceremony with your own vows, and lodge your marriage with the registry afterwards.

Deposit, then balance

How it gets paid

50% is due when the client approves, and the balance when you mark the work delivered. Both payments happen on the same link the proposal is on.

Card or bank transfer, and you choose which per deal. If you want a package to bill every month instead of once, you set that on the package itself when you build the deal, and the client can cancel it from their own link.

Prices are a starting point in Australian dollars. Change the figures, the inclusions and the number of packages to suit what you sell.

What approving the page records

The starting terms

These sit above the approve button. The client reads them, and approving records that they accepted them.

These terms cover this elopement.

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. Each package includes your notice, paperwork and lodgement. The official certificate is $70 extra. Bring two witnesses aged 18 or over, or I supply them at $50 each.
Places and weather. The location and permit are yours; the weather plan is a sheltered spot agreed with you before the day, with shade above 35 degrees. Travel past your package is $1 per km.
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 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 31 days notice or more, all is refunded less paperwork time at $50 per hour, hours shown, up to the deposit. With 14 to 30 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.

Starting terms, not legal advice. Read them, change what does not match how you work, and have a lawyer look at them if the work is large enough to warrant it. Your own default terms in Settings replace these automatically.
