Bookings
Bookings are accepted in good faith, based on the information provided by the client, and are deemed to be accepted only when the deposit is paid and acknowledged in writing. No additional costs, or changes in costs, can be made after the contract is signed by both parties, unless the consumer wishes to add the provision of extra services to the contract. reserves the right to increase the fee payable due to altered instructions of engagement, e.g. time at the event being extended or the venue changed. In this case a revised or additional contract should be created.
Change Policy
If the couple cancels or requests a date/time/location change:
Changes to a Couple’s wedding date, ceremony start time, or location (outside of Chania town, Greece ) will only be accommodated as the Celebrant’s availability allows. If the ceremony cannot be satisfactorily rescheduled, cancellation guidelines will apply. Deposits are non-refundable except in extreme circumstances, such as severe weather (see below) or when the party to the marriage must be hospitalized for severe illness/injury before the ceremony can occur.
If the celebrant cancels:
If the officiant cannot perform the tasks and responsibilities for the upcoming wedding ceremony for valid reasons (hospitalization, accident, transportation issue), the officiant must notify the client immediately and needs to find a replacement licensed wedding coordinator. If no substitute is available, then a full refund will be processed.
Force Majeure
Ceremonies that must be cancelled due to extreme weather or unsafe conditions affecting the venue and surrounding areas, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, fire, or severe heat/cold, are fully refundable (including the deposit) and can be rescheduled with the Celebrant based on availability.

Travel expenses will be added to the ceremony cost and can be estimated if there is a confirmed date. If the distance means an overnight stay then she will ask for the cost of a basic hotel room.
