This Booking Agreement + Terms of Service outlines the responsibilities, policies, and expectations related to your booking. By completing your booking, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the terms below. 1. Booking Confirmation Your ceremony date and time are not considered confirmed until: the booking form has been completed, the required deposit or payment has been received, and Brick & Vow Urban Elopements has issued written booking confirmation. Brick & Vow reserves the right to decline bookings at its discretion prior to confirmation. Bookings are non-transferrable. 2. Payment Terms A non-refundable deposit of 30% (thirty per cent) is required to secure your ceremony date. Final balances are due no later than 10 (ten) days prior to the ceremony date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Where a Short Notice Ceremony offer has been scheduled with an elopement package, (reserved for short-notice ceremonies and may be booked as close as 7 days - 48 hours prior to the ceremony date), full payment for the ceremony is required at the time of booking, due to sitting inside Brick & Vow’s remaining balance due date of 10 days prior to ceremony. Bookings made with the Short Notice Ceremony addition are non-refundable and non-transferable. Rescheduling requests for this package cannot be guaranteed and will be considered solely at the discretion of Brick & Vow Urban Elopements based on availability and operational capacity. Failure to complete payment by the required date may result in cancellation of the booking. Accepted payment methods: Credit/debit Stripe Etransfer (by request and approval) 3. Cancellations & Rescheduling Self-service cancellation and rescheduling links are provided in the booking confirmation email. Clients may reschedule or cancel their ceremony directly through their booking confirmation up to 14 days before the scheduled ceremony date, subject to availability. Beginning 13 days prior to the ceremony date, clients may no longer make changes independently through the booking system and must contact Brick & Vow directly regarding any requested cancellations or rescheduling. Rescheduling requests within this period are subject to availability, possible additional fees, and are not guaranteed. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure all ceremony dates and reserve availability. Final balances are due 10 days prior to the ceremony date. Any final balance paid prior to the 10-day deadline remains fully refundable until 10 days before the ceremony date. Beginning 10 days prior to the ceremony, all final payments become non-refundable due to the short timeline and the inability to reasonably rebook reserved ceremony dates, secured venues, permits, insurance, vendor commitments, preparation time, and related planning already undertaken.

Rescheduling requests involving third-party venue reservations, permits, federal land insurance, vendor bookings, or other location-specific costs may be subject to additional fees required to secure replacement arrangements or updated bookings.
