A retainer fee of 50% of entire ceremony cost MUST be paid in advance and is required, along with a signed contract, to book a date and time for a wedding. Retainer fees are not refundable should the wedding be cancelled for any reason. If reservations are cancelled with 21 days or less remaining prior to ceremony date, payment in full is due to avoid legal action. Payment in full in the form of cash or cashier's check is due two weeks prior to ceremony date. If balance is not received two weeks before the wedding date then time and date reservations are cancelled and may be booked by other parties, without exception and without notice. If you need to make partial payments, you may do so as long as you have paid in full two weeks prior to ceremony date. Reservations made with 21 days or less remaining until the wedding require a 100% non-refundable payment. There is a $45 return check fee on all returned checks. Please mail and make fees payable to:  Tiffany Archer, 2133 S. Florence Ave. Springfield, MO 65807 You may also make your payment by credit card online. Go to: www.paypal.com. The retainer fee should be sent to: admin@magickweddings.com.

You will receive a notice (via mail or email if available) acknowledging the receipt of the retainer fee and confirming your date and time booking within 14 business days. A copy of this document in its entirety will be returned to you by First Class Mail within 30 business days.

I reserve to right to refuse any request for a reservation and I further reserve the right to refuse to perform any service that I am not comfortable with, even though a reservation was accepted. If a wedding service that has been reserved is not performed, then a refund shall be due in the same form received.

I will charge an additional $50 per half hour if I have to wait more than 30 minutes past the scheduled starting time of any ceremony. My ability to wait more than 30 minutes will be solely at my discretion. I may waive the late charge, at my discretion. No refund will be given if I am not able to perform the ceremony because of any delays within the stipulated time period.

Any travel of over 30 miles or more than 30 minutes (one way) from my home address shall be charged at $.60 per mile (round trip). Mileage and/or travel time are determined by using Mapquest.com. All toll expenses are also the responsibility of the client. If travel time is excessive due to traffic conditions (beach, holiday, or otherwise), I may elect to charge an additional fee of $25 per hour from the time I leave my home.

Additional travel expenses may include a one- or two-night hotel stay, if the rehearsal and/or wedding are more than 80 miles away. These details MUST be discussed prior to signing of contract. (Hotel accommodations are required for any of the following conditions:  a) If the wedding is before 11 a.m. and more than 80 miles away for the night before the wedding; b) If the wedding is after 6:30 p.m. and more than 80 miles away for the night after the wedding; c) If the wedding is more than 80 miles and service is requested for rehearsal the night before the wedding.) All travel expenses should be included in the total ceremony cost and need to be paid prior to the ceremony.
