Question 1

Deposit?

Accepted Answer

Payments for the “Ruby” package (including all add-ons) are NON-REFUNDABLE and are due at the time of the invoice.   To reserve your date and time for our “Emerald” or “Diamond” packages, there is a NON-REFUNDABLE security deposit of 50% of your invoice (including all add-ons) that will be due at the time of booking. The NON-REFUNDABLE security deposit is a part of the package price, and is not an additional charge. A REFUNDABLE damage deposit charge of $75 will be added to the “Emerald” or “Diamond” package. The damage deposit will be refunded if no damages occurred during your time at Diamond Wedding Chapel.  The NON-REFUNDABLE final payment will be due 28 days before your ceremony. If your ceremony date is within the next 28 days, then the full amount is due at the time of the invoice. Once received, all payments are final. You can make an additional payment before your due date, at your own risk.
