Refund Policy & Disclaimers
A legal disclaimer
Ethan George is an authorised Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant and is legally bound by the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth).
All ceremonies requiring legal solemnisation of marriage will only be conducted once the correct documentation has been lodged within the required timeframes. This includes the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), which must be submitted no less than one (1) month and no more than 18 months before the wedding date.
Couples are responsible for providing all legal identification and documentation required under the Marriage Act 1961.
Ethan cannot legally proceed with a marriage ceremony if the required documents are incomplete, invalid, or not lodged in the correct timeframe.
Refund Policy - the basics
Booking Fee: Non-refundable under any circumstances.
Cancellations by the couple: If you cancel more than 30 days before your wedding date, any balance paid (excluding the booking fee) will be refunded. If you cancel within 30 days, no refund will be provided.
Rescheduling: Subject to availability, your booking may be transferred to a new date. If the new date is unavailable, the standard cancellation policy applies.
Cancellations by the celebrant: In the extremely unlikely event that Ethan is unable to perform your ceremony (illness, emergency, etc.), all monies paid (including the booking fee) will be refunded in full, or an alternative authorised celebrant will be arranged with your approval.
Booking and Payment Terms
A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your wedding date. This covers administration, legal preparation, and ensures your date is locked in.
The remaining balance is due no later than 14 days before the wedding. Your booking will not be confirmed until full payment has been received.
