Refund & Cancellation Policy
When booking my services as your celebrant, a great deal of time and preparation is invested in planning, writing, and tailoring your ceremony. To ensure clarity and fairness, the following refund and cancellation terms apply to all bookings, including weddings, vow renewals, naming days, funerals, and commitment ceremonies.
Cooling-Off Period:
You are entitled to cancel your booking within 14 days of payment and receive a full refund of any fees paid, provided the booked ceremony date is more than 30 days away.
Cancellations After 14 Days:
If you cancel more than 30 days before the ceremony, any fees already paid are non-refundable, but no further payments will be required.
If you cancel less than 30 days before the ceremony, the full agreed fee is payable. This reflects the significant preparation and time reserved exclusively for your event.
Rescheduling:
If your ceremony needs to be postponed, I will make every effort to accommodate the new date. Rescheduling is subject to my availability and may incur an additional fee if substantial re-writing or preparation is required.
If I Am Unable to Attend:
In the unlikely event that I am unable to perform your ceremony due to serious illness or circumstances beyond my control, I will:
Provide as much notice as possible;
Assist in finding a suitable replacement celebrant; and
Refund any fees paid (excluding work already completed, such as drafts of ceremony scripts).
General Notes:
All deposits and fees reflect not only time on the day but also the planning, meetings, script development, legal paperwork (for weddings), and professional commitment made in advance of your ceremony.
Thank you.
