The contract is pretty basic - it covers the location, date, and time, fees involved, and signatures. But it also guarantees you that I will be there and guarantees me that I will get paid. It also lays out my responsibilities as well as yours. Simply, it is peace of mind for both of us. If you are ready to reserve your date or would like to review the contract you may do so here: contract.
The deposit reserves your date(s) and time for you and guarantees that no one else will be booked in your slot. Without a deposit and reservation I can not guarantee my availability. This offers peace of mind for you and protects me if you cancel last minute after I have turned down other ceremonies for that date. The deposit is applied towards your overall balance due.
Deposits and Payments: Deposits and Payments can be made by cash (in person only), checks or money order** (see exceptions below), or by debit and credit cards via PayPal.
