Before you proceed to the Reservation Form, please read
the following:
Notice:
Use of this website, its forms & payment gateway implies
full and complete understanding and
acceptance of all of the terms
and conditions below. Your patience,
cooperation & understanding
are sincerely appreciated.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
- Normal Booking: Advance reservations
are recommended to secure services, location, date and time desired
for your event. It is best to book early. We accept reservations by
phone, but prefer you use the booking form to ensure proper
spellings, dates, services, phone numbers and so on. Short notice is
OK, but you may not get the exact time, place or service you really
want during peak times, like sunset, weekends or holidays. Our
standard Reservation Fee is $50 and is included in the price of the
package.

-
Deposit and Payment: A Reservation
fee of $50.00 is the bare minimum needed to confirm your
booking.
> Minimum Deposit: When you request professional
services by people we hire to perform, the deposit is $50.00 per
performer or 50% of your anticipated total, whichever is greater,
and is paid to obligate all parties for services ordered.
(e.g. To reserve a minister [$95], photographer [$175] & vocalist
[$95], the deposit would be $191.00 minimum). All land-based
services & fees are subject to a 4.712% State Excise Tax to be added
to your total. All Yacht Cruise Packages are subject to the
addition of Harbor Fees & State Excise Tax (6.712%).
> Site
Fee Deposit: When you order services at a premium location that
requires a site or permit fee, the entire site fee must be remitted
as part of your deposit, in addition to fees described above.
> Confirmation of your order will be made in writing when
possible once funds are received. If your date is months away
or payment is not made at booking, our reply will be delayed up to a
few days.
> Personal Checks sent in the mail may take 2-3
weeks for bank acceptance. We cannot fully confirm your event or
services until funds have cleared our bank. We recommend you use a
postal money order or cashier's check if paying by mail. Please go
to the "Pay a Bill" page for further details.
> Credit/Debit
Card Payments are accepted by our secure off-site processing
internet gateway. This payment method is preferred as your card data
will be encrypted on the remote secure server for your protection.
You can also pay by phone and e-mail. If you use this method, we
will process your payment using the same secure online gateway you
would use from your terminal.
Please see the online payment form
here. Remember: A 50%
DEPOSIT MINIMUM (which includes the $50 Reservation Fee) IS
REQUESTED TO SECURE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (e.g. Flowers,
Photographer, Video, Limousine, etc.)
|
- Booking Contract: When you request an event or
service and we confirm the services you requested at the quoted
prices, whether in writing, e-mail, fax or over the telephone, this
constitutes contractual agreement on the part of both parties.
If you book duplicate services from other companies for the same
event we confirmed for you, and we attend the location of the event
at the specified time and date you booked with us, you are still
obligated to pay us the agreed fees, whether or not we actually
perform the services for which we were hired. (For example, if
you hire 2 ministers for the same wedding ceremony and ours is at
the appointed place and time, you must pay our minister his fee in
full no matter what.)
|
- No Reservation: Last minute weddings, renewals or
other events are welcome and may be booked and confirmed by phone.
However, the services you want must be prepaid in full by a major
credit/debit card as stated in #2 above. Any remainder
payments for the event, rehearsal or late fees, are to be made in
cash in U.S. funds. Ministers do not make change
or accept any checks on-site.
|
- Returned Check/Unpaid Bill: If you send or give us
a check that is returned unpaid by our bank - for any reason - a fee
of $25.00 is automatically applied and must be paid prior to
our performing at your event. If the event has already been
performed, payment of services and fees in good negotiable funds
must be paid immediately upon demand. Failure to settle your
account will result in default. Every reasonable avenue to
settle account will be taken. If you give us a credit card to settle
a bill after services have been rendered that is declined by the
merchant's bank, a fee of $25.00 is automatically applied and
the total balance must then be paid in cash, by money order or
cashier's check within 72 hours. Delays in processing paperwork may
result if fees are not paid on time. If you paid your deposit by
credit card and you fail to pay the balance owed for the services
ordered, either on-site in cash or by other arrangement, you hereby
agree to give us full authority and permission to apply the balance
to your credit card online.
|
- Cancellations: If your scheduled event cannot take
place for good cause, the canceling party MUST notify the other
party at their earliest opportunity. The Reservation Fee of $50 (per
performer), and the site fee if any, is forfeited. You may also be
entitled to a refund....
We may only retain that portion of
your deposit commensurate with the effort, time and costs we and our
scheduled vendors (including private sites), if any, expended in
good faith on scheduling the services you ordered and in
consideration of the time remaining to the event. A
minimum of $10 is assessed for processing if your deposit
was made using a money order or credit/debit card.
|
- Refunds: Subject to the above...
>If you
cancel 30 days or more before your scheduled event,
we will return your deposit/payment, less actual expenses, if
any.
>If you cancel between 30 days & 10 days
before your event, we may keep $50, plus actual
expenses, if any.
>If you cancel less than 10 days
before your event, we may keep $50. If other vendors
were booked, we may keep $50 for each vendor,
plus actual expenses, including costs incurred in
reserving a site & planning your event, if any (e.g. If a
performer passed up other work to be available for your
event, your fee may be retained).
>If you cancel on
the day of your event (or within 36 hours of your start time),
all monies paid may be retained. Refunds will be considered on a per
case basis.
>If you cancel a private venue or yacht
charter, the site fee is usually forfeited.
>Every effort
will be made to fairly settle accounts in a friendly cordial manner
in event you do need to cancel for valid cause.
|
- Delays and Overtime: Our commitment is to be
at the site 15 minutes early and begin the service at the scheduled
time. If the start of your event is delayed by
30 minutes or more - for any reason on your part whatsoever
- an overtime fee of $50.00 for each performer is
automatically assessed, due and payable on the spot.
>If you fail to show up before 30 minutes past the scheduled
time, the performer is not obligated to wait further; no
refund shall be given and overtime fees remain due.
We highly recommend you plan ahead, consider delays due to
weather or traffic, then be on time. This applies to your guests as
well! (They will not understand that their lateness may cost you
in overtime fees). We are not responsible for actions
beyond our control.
>If the performer did receive notice of
your delay and is willing & able to wait, each succeeding 30-minute
period accrues a $50 overtime charge for each performer.
In case our performer has another event scheduled after yours and
the delay would impact the start of the next event, the performer is
not obligated to remain for your delayed event. Every effort
will be made to accommodate you in rescheduling. Additional costs
may be incurred.
>If the delay is due to our performer being
late, no fee is due.
|
- Tipping & Gratuities: Our business is a service
business. We aim to please you, not stick you with unjust charges or
deposit fees. We work hard to deliver the best possible services for
the lowest cost, so profit margins are kept to a bare minimum. Our
price list does not include (4%) State taxes or gratuities. If you
are pleased with our services, gratuities are always appreciated and
traditionally reward good service according to merit, always at the
full discretion of you, our valued customer. Thank you in advance!
