A provisional booking will hold your date for 7 days, after which a deposit is required to secure your date.

The provisional booking deposit will support the agreed instalment payments agreed in writing between the celebrant and client.

Images and testimonials:

We may ask you for permission to use photos from your ceremony, either that we have taken or that you have let us have access to, to use for the sole purpose of promoting our services to other couples, either on our website or via social media. We may also ask you to provide a short-written testimonial. You are in no way obliged to provide either.

Changes to booking dates and times must be notified in writing and will be accommodated whenever possible but cannot be guaranteed.

If you decide to cancel your booking with us within 14 days of paying the deposit, then it will be refunded in full. After this time the deposit cannot be returned. Cancellations close to the ceremony date will result in charges as follows:

Unforeseen Circumstances:

In the very unlikely event that the booked Celebrant is unable to attend on the day due to illness or other unpreventable circumstances, the Company will endeavor to ensure that the service is fulfilled by another professional celebrant, who will be given the agreed script and instructions.

The Company will make payment to that celebrant, representing the balance of payment due, without any additional costs being incurred by you.

In the event that the Company is unable to secure another Celebrant, the balance of payment will be refunded to the Client directly, to enable them to find another Celebrant to conduct the ceremony

Legals:

For ceremonies that are recognised by law in England and Wales, you must fulfil the legal requirements at a Registry Office. Some variations apply in Scotland, please contact us for details.
