Booking Fee
A non-refundable £150 booking fee is required to secure the date and time for your Ceremony, this is required at the time of your first interview with your Celebrant. Payment can be made by cash or BACS transfer and your date will only be considered as confirmed when the booking fee has been received and a receipt has been issued to you.
