These Terms & Conditions outline the understanding between Love Officially (“Officiant”) and the couple (“Client”). By booking officiant services, you agree to the following:

Services

• The Officiant will provide wedding ceremony services as agreed upon at booking.

• Services may include ceremony customization, rehearsal attendance (if selected), travel to the ceremony location, and completion of the marriage license.

• The Officiant does not provide wedding planning, day-of coordination, or other vendor services unless explicitly stated.

Booking & Payments

• A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date.

• The remaining balance is due no later than five (5) days before the ceremony.

• Payments not received on time may result in cancellation of services.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

• Deposits are non-refundable.

• If cancellation occurs five (5) days or fewer before the ceremony date, the full balance will still be due and no refund will be provided.

• Rescheduling is subject to the Officiant’s availability. A rescheduling fee may apply.

• If the Officiant must cancel due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, every effort will be made to provide a qualified replacement. If no replacement is available, all payments (including the deposit) will be refunded in full.

Ceremony Conduct

• The Officiant reserves the right to withhold services if participants are excessively intoxicated, disorderly, or if conditions are unsafe.

• Ceremonies may be personalized within agreed guidelines. The Officiant maintains the right to decline any requests that conflict with personal, legal, or ethical standards.

Marriage License
