A: At Timeless Tributes, we strive to make the booking process for our wedding officiant services as seamless and straightforward as possible. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Initial Inquiry: Contact us via our website or phone to check availability for your wedding date. We’ll also answer any initial questions you may have about our services. 2. Consultation: Once availability is confirmed, we arrange an initial consultation. This can be over the phone, via video call, or in person. During this meeting, we discuss your vision for the ceremony, specific requirements, and any special elements you wish to include. 3. Quotation and Agreement: Based on our consultation, we provide a detailed quotation and service agreement. This outlines all aspects of the officiating service, ensuring there are no surprises down the road. 4. Booking Confirmation: To confirm the booking, a signed agreement and a deposit are required. This secures your date with our officiant. 5. Final Details Meeting: As your wedding day approaches, we have a final meeting to go over the ceremony script and any last-minute adjustments. This ensures everything is perfect and tailored to your wishes. 6. Wedding Day: On the day of your wedding, our officiant arrives early to coordinate with other vendors and ensure everything runs smoothly. 7. Post-Ceremony Follow-Up: After the ceremony, we also assist with the completion and filing of the marriage license. By following these steps, Timeless Tributes ensures that your wedding ceremony is personal, professional, and unforgettable.
IF THE COUPLE CANCELS OR REQUESTS A DATE/TIME/LOCATION CHANGE:
A Couple is not required to pay the remaining balance on services if they cancel at least 1 week before the scheduled ceremony. If the balance has already been paid, it will be returned if the cancellation occurs at least 1 week before the scheduled ceremony. Changes to a Couple’s wedding date, ceremony start time, or location will only be accommodated as the Officiant’s availability allows. If the ceremony cannot be rescheduled, cancellation guidelines will apply. Deposits are non-refundable except in extreme circumstances, such as severe weather (see below) or when either party to the marriage must be hospitalized for severe illness/injury before the ceremony can occur. IF THE OFFICIANT CANCELS:
If the Officiant is unable to perform a Couple’s ceremony due to illness, family emergency, or other unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be given including the deposit. If the Couple chooses to hire an alternate replacement officiant on their own, the Couple will be given full access to any custom ceremony materials to use. If the Officiant delays the start of the wedding (due to late arrival, etc.) the Couple will be refunded 25% of the total ceremony cost.
IF MOTHER NATURE CANCELS:
Ceremonies that must be canceled due to extreme weather or unsafe conditions affecting the venue and surrounding areas, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, fire, or severe heat/cold, extreme snow or ice, are fully refundable (including the deposit) and can be rescheduled with the Officiant based on availability.
