Sterling Weddings of Sedona General Privacy Statement
Your privacy is of the highest importance. All personal information collected through this website is confidential. I will never disclose or distribute your personal information to any 3rd party. Your contact information will only be used to communicate with you and to provide services that you request.
Legality of Marriage
It is understood that it is our responsibility to possess a valid marriage license in the state where the wedding ceremony will take place and that the marriage license must be on the premises when the ceremony is performed. We understand that failure to have these legal documents means that Rev. Shanandoah Sterling, Officiant cannot legally perform the ceremony and is in no obligation to do so, regardless of the inconvenience it may cause. We will consult with the local court/city clerk to find the exact requirements for the state of Arizona. We understand that the marriage license information posted on Rev. Shanandoah Sterling’s web site is for information only and may have recently changed, which is why we will take responsibility for researching the exact requirements for our specific situation by contacting the appropriate authorities where the wedding will take place.
Vows
The final, approved draft of the ceremony vows must be delivered to Rev. Shanandoah Sterling no later than 14 days preceding the date of your ceremony so it may be printed into the keepsake wedding vow booklet. If the final approval is not back 14 days before the wedding ceremony, you are not guaranteed to have your vow booklet printed and presented at your ceremony.
Payment Terms
Credit Card payments are excepted through a PayPal invoicing. Any possible credit card refund will be 5% less because of the transaction fee. Check, cash, or money order are accepted. Please make checks payable to Rev. Shanandoah Sterling. We understand that if our check is dishonored, Rev. Shanandoah Sterling is relieved of all obligations set under this contract, unless we immediately fix the situation with a cash payment plus a $50 dishonored check fee. It is further understood that if our account is not paid in full prior to the wedding date, Rev. Shanandoah Sterling will accept only cash prior to the wedding ceremony beginning.
Refund Policy
To confirm booking a retainer (non-refundable) is paid. However, if Rev. Shanandoah Sterling cancels the wedding, we will receive a 100% refund on all payments made, unless she can provide a suitable substitute minister to officiate our wedding using our written ceremony. (The fair principle being that whoever cancels loses the deposit). It is also understood that 80% of the work Rev. Shanandoah Sterling dedicates to our wedding is prior to the actual wedding date. Therefore if you cancel your wedding after Rev. Shanandoah Sterling has completed her initial consultation with you (in person or via phone), and if a draft of your wedding ceremony script has already been presented to you, you agree to pay 75% of the total amount of the contract. (Both conditions must be met by Rev. Shanandoah Sterling to be entitled to this payment). For cancellations within 30 days of the contract date, there is no refund, and 100% of this contract will be due to Rev. Shanandoah Sterling.
Wedding Date Change
If the wedding date is postponed or changed, the following rules will apply: If Rev. Shanandoah Sterling has the new date available; she will simply change your date and re-reserve it under the new date. However, if Rev. Shanandoah Sterling is already obligated for the new date you have chosen, and is unable to officiate your wedding on the new date, then the initial retainer is forfeited and Rev. Shanandoah Sterling is relieved of all responsibilities set forth in this contract.
