2. SERVICES:

Officiant agrees to provide Wedding Officiant Services ("Services") for Client at the date, time and location as specified in the intake form. Officiant Services include the wedding workshop, full ceremony script, original story, rehearsal, officiating the wedding, and registration of the marriage.

3. SCHEDULE:
The "Ceremony Start Time" listed above shall be considered the actual Event Start Time and not Guest "Arrival" or "Invitation" time. Clients agree to do everything in their power to begin within twenty (20) minutes of the "Ceremony Start Time" as specified in the Agreement.

4. CHANGES:
Changes to this Agreement including, but not limited to the date, time, and/or location of the Event must be communicated in writing by Client and approved by Officiant in writing before it is confirmed.

5. FEES AND RETAINER:

The total cost of the Event Services is as indicated in your service selection; this includes all officiating Services and any required local travel. A non-refundable 50% Retainer equal to one half of the fee for the service you have selected is to be paid to activate this Agreement, at which point the Officiant will start providing Services. The remaining 50% balance of said service fee shall be received by Officiant with the Retainer. If additional travel fees are required, they will be stipulated beforehand in an email by the Officiant at the time of Retainer. If Client does not remit payment as specified, Officiant has the right to end this Agreement without further obligation to refund money, including the Retainer, or to perform Services at the Event.

The Retainer can be applied to another date and time as long as Client requests change in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Event date and Officiant is available. If Officiant is not available at the new date and/or time, all fees paid more than the Retainer will be refunded upon request from Client.

My services cost is as indicated in the selection made and there are no other fees unless I ask before your Retainer payment. I ask for a non-refundable Retainer of 50% up front, and then you pay the balance 2 weeks before your wedding. If you need to cancel on me, you can do that up to 10 days before the wedding and get back anything you paid over and above the Retainer. If you cancel less than 10 days before your wedding, I will keep the retainer fee. This section does not apply to Quick Sign Officiant services and/or where the couple does not wish to include a customized ceremony nor a crafted personal love story

6. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS:
Cancellations must be communicated in writing. If written notice of Cancellation of Services is provided by Client at least ten (10) days prior to the Event date, all fees paid in excess of the Retainer will be refunded. If written notice of Cancellation of Services is provided by Client less than ten (10) days prior to the Event date, Client shall be responsible for full payment of Services, except for travel fees, if applicable. If written notice of Cancellation of Services is not provided by Client, Client shall be responsible for full payment of Services, including travel fees, if applicable. This section does not apply to Quick Sign Officiant services and/or where the couple does not wish to include a customized ceremony nor a crafted personal love story

In the unlikely event that the Officiant is unable to perform the ceremony for unforeseen circumstances (i.e., hospitalization, automobile accident, and/or transportation breakdown, etc.), Officiant shall be allowed to make reasonable attempts to provide a replacement Officiant at no additional cost to Client. In event Officiant must cancel this Agreement for Services, Client shall be refunded the full fees paid for the Services, including the Retainer.

7. SATISFACTION GUARANTEE:
