the fine print and travel
A few things to know as you book your wedding:
You will receive an email containing a questionnaire. This will allow me to properly plan your ceremony and/or wedding. This should be returned as soon as reasonably possible.
Your event will be priced based on the questionnaire, our conversations, and the distance traveled.
We do assess late start fees. Yours may not be the only wedding of the day. Weddings are scheduled with enough commute time factored in between to prevent our officiant from being late to the next location. This fee is $75 per 30 minutes late.It must be paid prior to the officiant starting the ceremony. After one hour, the officiant may leave for another wedding with no refund given.
Travel fee: $1/mile, one way, from the farm. Basic packages start at 30 miles from the farm Premium packages start at 50 miles from the farm. We are happy to travel all of Tennessee and north Georgia. Other locations may be discussed for consideration. We are happy to officiate in northeast Alabama but cannot make it legal. You must have your marriage license signed by an Alabama notary.
IF THE COUPLE FAILS TO BRING THE MARRIAGE LICENSE, THE CEREMONY WILL BE CANCELLED WITH NO REFUNDS.
There is a non-refundable booking fee to hold your date. This is 50% of the total and does apply to your balance.
Date and time changes are possible at the officiant's discretion due to scheduling.
The full balance is required 15 DAYS prior to the ceremony date unless the officiant has approved other arrangements.
Payment Options:
cash, business check, Paypal (emilysalao@gmail.com), Venmo (@CrunchyAcres), CashApp ($CrunchyAcres), and Zelle (731-437-9402)
Please ALWAYS attach a note with your name and wedding date.
