Wondering what the payment terms are?
Managing money is one of the “key aspects” of managing any wedding or ceremony.
Here I go through all the key points and also let you know where there are different payment options,
especially where you may need to ask for a bit more time.
Payment Terms & Conditions
These payment terms apply to all services provided by Kate Ryan-Taylor of KM & SF Ryan-Taylor (trading as Ready Set Love). By booking me, you agree to these payment conditions in addition to the Celebrant Terms & Conditions.
Payment Types
We accept the following payment types:
- Cash
- Credit Card
- Debit Card
- Afterpay (please advise if you wish to use this option, as it must be enabled manually through Square)
Booking Fee (Deposit)
- A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your ceremony date.
- No date is confirmed until this fee has been received.
- The booking fee is not transferable to another date unless agreed in writing.
Balance Payment
- The remaining balance of your invoice is due by the date specified in your invoice / contract (usually well before the ceremony).
- Late payment may result in the ceremony not proceeding until funds are cleared.
Financial Difficulties
- If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, please reach out before it becomes an issue.
- We can set up an alternative payment arrangement to ease the stress.
- Any variation to payment terms must be made in writing and signed by both parties before it takes effect.
Cancellations & Refunds
- Booking fees (deposits) are non-refundable.
- If you cancel within 6 weeks of the booked ceremony date, the full fee remains payable.
- If you cancel earlier than 6 weeks out, only the balance portion (if paid) may be refundable, at my discretion.
Debt Collection
- If your account remains unpaid despite reminders, it may be referred to a debt collection agency.
- You agree to be liable for all costs associated with recovery of the debt, including agency fees, administrative costs, and any legal or court expenses.
- To avoid this, please get in touch to arrange a payment plan if you’re struggling — I’d much rather help than chase.
CRM & Client Portal
- All agreed payment terms and schedules will be visible in your Dubsado CRM client portal.
- Any changes to your payment plan or schedule must be approved by me, and once confirmed, will be updated within Dubsado.
- The client portal is your “source of truth” for payments, invoices, and agreements.
Payments via Square
- We use Square (squareup) for all payments.
- By default, Square allows payments via credit card, debit card, or direct bank transfer.
- If you wish to use Afterpay, please let me know in advance, as this setting must be enabled manually.
- All transaction records are available on your Dubsado portal for transparency.
Methods of Payment
- Payment instructions will be provided on your invoice.
- Please use the invoice number and/or your names as the payment reference.
GST & ABN
- All invoices are issued under KM & SF Ryan-Taylor (trading as Ready Set Love).
- ABN: 68 601 080 443
- Prices quoted are inclusive of GST where applicable.
