If the Officiant is unable to perform the couple’s wedding ceremony due to illness, hospitalization, accidents, transportation breakdown or any other unforeseeable causes, he will make every possible attempt to notify the couple and arrange for another Pastor to substitute. In such an event that no substitute is available, all monies paid by the couple to the Officiant will be returned and the couple hereby agrees that the Officiant will NOT be held liable for any damages (including punitive) due to the non-performance of the ceremony or function.

In consideration for these services, the couple agrees as follows:
1. The couple understands that they must obtain a valid marriage license (which is valid for 1 year) from the appropriate jurisdiction for which the ceremony will be performed and shall provide such valid marriage license to the Officiant BEFORE the ceremony is performed. A valid marriage license is due to be presented no later than the rehearsal of the ceremony, or the couple must sign a waiver stating their understanding of the fact that any ceremony performed without the presence of the license will be symbolic only and will not result in the couple’s legal status as husband and wife.
2. The officiant is solely responsible for filing this certificate with the county clerk’s office.
3. This agreement is valid for the wedding service for the place, date, and time stated above. Any change to time, place or date must be agreed to in advance by the Officiant and may be subject to additional fees. The couple realizes that the Officiant performs other ceremonies for other couples and that excessive lateness or change of time can create a serious conflict in the Officiant’s schedule. If the couple changes the time or date of the scheduled ceremony without the Officiant’s consent, the Officiant reserves the right to cancel the performance of the ceremony and shall in no way be held responsible or liable in any manner for such non-performance.
4. The couple agrees to pay the Officiant the ceremony fee of $350 plus any additional agreed-upon services or unusual travel expenses not listed above. To reserve the date, a non-refundable deposit (booking fee) of $350 shall be remitted with this signed agreement. The bride and groom can either pay by Check, Cash, Venmo, or Zelle.
5. Unless previously stated, the couple accepts responsibility for purchasing items needed to perform the ceremony (unity candles, sand, roses, etc.).

If any part of this agreement is adjudged to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining parts shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.
