Booking terms

---

If my services are arranged via a Funeral Director, they will arrange to pay my fee and charge you as part of their overall costs. If booking directly, my fee is due 2 days prior to the day of the ceremony. If my services are cancelled, you will be liable for costs relating to any work carried out and possibly the full fee if cancellation is at short notice.  

Payment: A initial payment of 50% is payable at the point of booking. Payment of any balance is due 28 days before your ceremony. 

Legal Status: For weddings, civil partnerships and commitment ceremonies you are aware that Celebrant led ceremonies do not currently have legal status in England and Wales. To complete a legal marriage or civil partnership you must complete a statutory registration at a Register office or licensed premises with a Registrar 

Cancellation: You have a right to cancel a contract with me without giving any reason within 14 days of entering into the contract. In order to exercise your right to cancel, you must inform me of your decision in writing (letter sent by post or email). You are advised to obtain proof that you have informed me. 

To meet the cancellation deadline, you should let me know that you wish to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. If you cancel this contract within this period, I will make the reimbursement without undue delay and not later than 14 days after the cancellation notice has been received. I will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

If you cancel the booking after the 14-day period and prior to 28 days before the ceremony all, or part, of the 50% initial payment will be retained. I will usually retain a pro-rata payment for work already undertaken (including correspondence, administration and holding your date, i.e. 

turning down other bookings on that day). If cancellation is within 28 days of the ceremony, you will be liable for the full costs.

Postponement: Any postponement of the event will be honoured providing there is availability to do so. In the event of wishing to postpone you must discuss dates with Jac in order to ensure she can honour your request, other wise the above cancellation fees will apply. Postponement beyond a 12 month period may incur a small additional charge to respect price increases. 

Data protection: You will only be asked for personal information relevant to your ceremony. All personal information provided will only be used by me and exclusively used to plan and conduct your ceremony. The information will not be shared with anyone else without your consent. All your information will be encrypted and securely stored on a password-protected computer. I will offer you a “keepsake copy” of your service, as a printed document or a PDF document version by email, and will need to know whether you would like me to do this, before your details are removed from my les. All information supplied will be destroyed within 7 days following your ceremony.
