Contract

    prearranged.  Everything is being designed for you to
    fully relax and enjoy your wedding day.

When you correspond with me please include the first name of the Groom and Bride,
along with your wedding date. The following is a letter of understanding between us,
please review it and let me know if you have questions.

Wedding Ceremony -  When a personalized ceremony is ordered, your ceremony
will arrive within a week of our planning consultation. Your fee includes one rewrite.
Please do not send out copies of this ceremony, if people ask you for a copy, have
them contact me directly. When ordering a civil ceremony, there is no conversation
regarding the ceremony.  You may arrive with your personal vows on the day of your
ceremony if you select to do so.  
Note:   Civil ceremonies are not mailed out.

Changes Due:  All changes are due no later then one week before your wedding
date.  If for any reason your final changes are not made correctly a refund of thirty
dollars will be made.

Deposit:  THE DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.

Balance Due:  Within four weeks of your ceremony date.  

Last Minute Changes: All changes need to be completed in advance. I can not
make last minutes changes on the day of your ceremony or during the week before
your ceremony.

Marriage License Information:  You and your groom will need to file for your
marriage license together at the county clerk’s office.
 

Your Marriage License:
I will sign the marriage license on your wedding day.  
Once I sign your marriage license my responsibility ends. If you forget to apply for
your marriage license, I can not back date one later.  

Due to budget cuts with the State you will need to work directly with the County Clerk
where you got your license.  Mail your license directly to the County Clerk.  The
address is in the form.  As your legal papers are important, you need to be responsible
for any correspondence that you receive from the county clerks office.

Copies:  Use the form the county clerk provided you for copies of your marriage
license. The Court House provided the form to you at time of application.  Please
direct all questions regarding your marriage license directly to the courthouse you
applied for the license to.  It is most effective to use the website where you filed.  

Cancellation policy:  The deposit and final payment confirms wedding date and
time, as well as wedding plans have arranged. While the dates and times are being held
other couples are turned away.  If for any reason wedding plans are canceled,  no
refund of monies will be made. There may be additional fees charged to cancel
vendors and wedding planning done.
If your ceremony begins more then thirty
minutes, it may have to be re booked which will involved additional fees.

Force Majeure:  If the Contract became impossible to complete by either party
because of acts of God, war, government regulations, disaster, strikes, civil disorder,
floods, curtailment of transportation facilities or other emergencies making it illegal
or impossible to provide service or to hold the event then neither party shall be held
responsible to any aspects of this contract.

If weather or road conditions prevent me from reaching the event location the day
and time of your wedding I will ordain someone on site over the phone and provide
last minute phone coaching to conduct your ceremony.  
Please make sure to print out
a copy of your ceremony and have it with you the day of your wedding.
Time is of the Essence:  If your ceremony begins more than thirty minutes late, it
may have to be re booked which will require additional fees.
