MARRIAGE LICENSE
Couple understands that it is the their responsibility to acquire a valid marriage license in the state where the wedding ceremony will take place and the marriage license must be on the premises when the ceremony is performed. Couple understands that failure to have these legal documents means that Officiant cannot legally perform the ceremony and is under no obligation to do so. Officiant may at her discretion perform a symbolic ceremony, which will have no legal merit, and may perform another ceremony in private for the Couple once the legal documents are presented, for an additional fee. Couple will consult with the local court or city clerk to find the exact requirements for the marriage license.
CANCELLATION and REFUND TERMS
The agreement of the Officiant to perform the ceremony is subject to proven detention by accidents, riots, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, acts of God, or any other legitimate conditions beyond their control. If such circumstances arise, all reasonable efforts will be made by Officiant to find a replacement. Should Officiant be unable to secure a replacement to perform the ceremony, Couple shall receive a full refund. Couple agrees that in all circumstances, Officiant liability shall be exclusively limited to an amount equal to the performance fee and that Officiant shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract.
