Mileage/Travel. There is no travel with this package.

Guest Limit. Maximum of ten (10) guest are permitted (including children) due to city permits and current pandemic. If a citation is given, this will fall to the responsibility of the Couple.

Ceremony Planning Session. A complimentary consultation via webcam (zoom/facetime/google meeting), phone call or in-person meeting up to fifteen (15) minutes to arrange the details of your ceremony. This meeting between the Couple and Officiant will take place at 3388 Cabrillo Court, Perris CA 92570.

Day-of-coaching: coaching is included for the couple only. Not for guest, vendors, or wedding party unless specified under contract.

Marriage License. The Couple agrees and acknowledges that is it their sole responsibility to obtain and bring the Marriage License to the ceremony along with government-issued identification. Failure to have the Marriage License and government-issued identification at the ceremony means the ceremony conducted by the Officiant is symbolic only and does not create a legally binding marriage in the State of California. Failure to present the Marriage License to the Officiant means all legally-binding language, such as but not limited to "marriage", "husband", "wife", "married", "wed", "newlyweds", "Mr. and Mrs.", "Mr. and Mr.", "Mrs. and Mrs." as applicable will be struck from the ceremony and replaced with non-legal words such as "union", "commitment", "partners", etc. If the ceremony is done symbolically, the Couple may have the Officiant perform a private legal ceremony at a later time for an additional fee of $100 payable upon scheduling the legal ceremony. The Couple also agrees to provide (if applicable) witness(es) to sign their marriage license.

The Officiant will file the marriage license via USPS as pursuant to California Family Code Section 359(f). The Couple may not file the marriage license themselves as legal responsibility of filing the marriage license is put on the Officiant by California Family Code Section 359(e).

If the marriage license is rejected or is not received by the County Clerk, the Officiant will work cooperatively with the Couple to resolve the issue. Cost for an amendment or replacement marriage license, if any, due to erasures, white-outs, stains, tears, or other alterations will be assumed by the Couple. The Officiant will assume the cost of the amendment or replacement marriage license only if there is an erasure, strikeout, white-out, tear, or stain in the Certification of Person Solemnizing Marriage section on the corresponding boxes (public license: boxes 28A through 29E; confidential license: boxes 27A through 28E) on the marriage license.

If the Couple does not need the Officiant to complete the marriage license information (e.g. for a non-legal commitment ceremony or renewal of vows), no discount will be given.

Rehearsal. No rehearsal is included in this ceremony package since it is not applicable.

Reservation Fee. A NON-REFUNDABLE reservation fee of 50% of the base package price as listed on this contract must be provided at the time of booking, along with a confirmation from the Officiant to guarantee the wedding ceremony date and time. The remainder of the balance must be paid in full by midnight seven (7) days before ceremony date. Failure to pay in full before agreed date will result in late fees of $25.00 a day until wedding date OR ceremony agreement being revoked and the Officiant has no further obligation. All fees must be paid prior to ceremony being performed.

Refunds. No refunds are given (including retainers). Exceptions may be made by officiant if officiant is able to re-book your wedding. This is of the sole discretion and availability of the officiant.

Merchant Fee. If you accidentally made a payment and we need to refund your money, we are not responsible for any fees associated placed by merchant.

Acceptable Forms of Payments. Officiant will accept cash, debit/credit card as a form of payment. No checks are accepted and no exceptions will be made. Payment may also be accepted over the phone by calling (909) 489-1022. It is the responsibility of the Couple to make sure the payment is accepted. A receipt will be given to Couple upon payment received.

Change to Ceremony Reservation. Any change to time, date, or location must be disclosed in advance and approved by Officiant. The contract may be cancelled or amended due to changes. If circumstances cause the Couple to postpone the ceremony to another date, the Officiant will make every attempt to accommodate the new date (base on availability). The Couple's monies paid to date will be transferable if the new date is within six (6) months of the original date and postponement is notified to the Officiant via email within thirty (30) days prior to the wedding date. There may be additional charges if rescheduling results in extra costs. If the Officiant cannot accommodate the new date, then the Officiant will make its best effort to find another Officiant. However, if changes to the ceremony are made which the Officiant cannot accommodate due to other obligations, Couple is responsible for finding a new officiant as well as paying any and all fees to the new officiant. If the Couple does not want to use the services of the replacement Officiant, all monies paid will be forfeited.

Delayed Ceremony Fees. The couple has fifteen (15) minutes from the scheduled time to start the ceremony. If by no fault of the Officiant the ceremony starts fifteen (15) minutes or more after the ceremony time for any reason including but not limited to weather, delays caused by other vendors, the late arrival of guests or wedding party, a late fee of $25.00 for every fifteen (15) minute increment will begin until the ceremony starts. These fees are due prior to ceremony starting or no ceremony will be performed. In the very unlikely event an extremely excessive delay results in the officiant’s schedule making it impossible for the Officiant to remain on-site, the couple is will not hold the Officiant liable.

Marriage Vows. The Couple understands that this is a scripted ceremony in the language of their choosing. This would be either in Spanish or English.

Photo/Video Release. The Couple permit the use of images and videos of the Couple from any portion of the ceremony day for the display, publication, or other promotional uses without payment of additional compensation to the Couple. The Couple’s guests at the event shall be deemed to have consented to the use of their name, image/video, or likeness by the Couple and Officiant for the duration of the ceremony, and the Couple shall defend and indemnify the Officiant from any claims that any of the Couple's guests may assert against the Officiant arising from or related to the use of any name, image, video, or likeness of the Couple's guest(s) by the Officiant during the ceremony. The Officiant will publicly attribute photographer or videographer credit if provided by the Couple. The Couple will notify the Officiant via email (carla@mydreamceremony.com) if they do not want photos or video used. The Officiant will reply via email and this reply will serve as acknowledgment that photos or video will not be used.

In no event shall the maximum liability hereunder exceed the amount actually paid to Officiant under this contract. Any disputes or arbitration with respect to this contract shall be held only in the State of California within Riverside County, in accordance with California law.

Cancellation from Officiant.

The Couple agrees that the refund will be the full extent of damages and no further damages may be sought against the Officiant, or any persons affiliated with My Dream Ceremony.

Cancellation from Couple.
