TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR BOOKING

Thank you for choosing to celebrate with The Perth Wedding Collective.

The following TERM & CONDITIONS must be agreed to prior to payment of your invoice (As highlighted on the invoice you receive for payment) and this agreement is entered into and is effective as of payment of invoice, between the ‘The Perth Wedding Collective’ and the ‘Client’, identified as the person on the invoice. This agreement supersedes prior or simultaneous agreements, verbal or written. Upon confirmation of your chosen wedding date and payment of the invoice, The Perth Wedding Collective will reserve a place for the
Client at the agreed The Perth Wedding Collective event.

• BOOKING FEE: A Booking Fee will be due within 24 hours of confirmation by the Client and the wedding date will not be confirmed until such Booking Fee is paid in full. The Perth Wedding Collective will engage and book the Client’s various wedding suppliers on their behalf upon receipt of this booking fee, which is applied towards booking various wedding suppliers, the legal paperwork for marriage, administration costs and the Client’s Marriage Certificate. The Perth Wedding Collective will not be able to marry the Client (Or return the non-refundable payments) if the entire fee is not paid by the due dates.

• PAYMENTS: Package payments are typically paid in monthly instalments. The Client agrees that the first payment, the Booking Fee, is due within 24 hours of invoice. Subsequent payments/instalments are due upon invoice. Payments are accepted by bank transfer or credit card and are non-refundable in the event of Client cancellation.

• LATE PAYMENTS: Payments are accepted by bank transfer or credit card and are non-refundable in the event of Client cancellation. In addition, any account which falls greater than 14 days past due will be cancelled. Unfortunately, the Perth Wedding Collective is unable to maintain bookings with suppliers whereby the client is not maintaining regular payments in relation to their booking. Unpaid invoices which are 14 days past due will result in cancellation of the booking, forfeiture of the date and any payments made to suppliers will be forfeited.

• CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY: The core of The Perth Wedding Collective is a unique approach to weddings, commissioning a limited number of weddings per year on the basis that Couples will share suppliers costs on the day, or that suppliers will pool operational costs on the day, depending on the package booked. The Client acknowledges that in the event that there is a cancellation by a Client, all suppliers will incur expenses and financial loss, having already reserved the date and time in their wedding schedule, and in most cases have incurred substantial expenses in good faith. In the event of a cancellation on behalf of any Client, the Client understands that all fees / payments (I.e. Any monies already paid to The Perth Wedding Collective and it’s suppliers) shall be forfeited.

• POSTPONEMENT POLICY: The Client acknowledges that in the event that the event is postponed within 6 weeks of the wedding date, all suppliers will incur expenses and financial loss, having already reserved the date and time in their wedding schedule, and in most cases have incurred substantial expenses in good faith. It is also unlikely that the same suppliers will all be available for a rescheduled date in the future, so new suppliers will need to be engaged. In the event of a postponement on behalf of any Client, the Client understands that the Perth Wedding Collective will do our best to reschedule the event (within 18 months of the original booking confirmation date), however, all suppliers are within their rights to retain their booking fee. (I.e. This fee shall be forfeited and will need to be re-paid by the client in order to reschedule a new wedding date)

• CREDIT CARD DETAILS: A valid credit card must be supplied as a form of bond/security on all bookings. This will be held in trust, however, will be used to cover any payments, missing or damaged items at the full replacement cost.

• WEDDING SUPPLIERS: The Perth Wedding Collective acts as a ‘Wedding Planner’ to assist the Client with booking various Wedding Suppliers for their wedding date. The Perth Wedding Collective accepts no responsibility or liability on behalf of the wedding suppliers themselves.

• WEDDING VENUES: The Perth Wedding Collective acts as a ‘Wedding Planner’ to assist the Client with booking a venue for their wedding date.
