2. Booking Agreement: The booking agreement is a contract between Business Owner and the Client. By signing the agreement, the client acknowledges they have received, read, and understands Alegna Weddings quote including the price list and inclusions. The client agrees to pay the full balance by the due date outlined on the invoice. Failure to do so is in breach of the contract and will be deemed a cancellation with no refunds to be issued.

​

• Following payment of the booking fee, the remaining balance is divided into 3 installments with the total balance due fourteen (14) days before the wedding date.

 

• In the event the booking is on short notice, less than 3 months, we require a 25% booking fee on acceptance of the quote and the remaining balance due fourteen (14) days before the wedding date.

​

• In the event the booking is less than fourteen (14) days before your wedding day, we require your invoice to be paid in full.

7. Service Fulfillment: Once the invoice has been paid in full, Alegna Weddings must meet their requirements of fulfilling the services as stated in the invoice in full to the best of their ability within the circumstances of the wedding day.

​

Failure to show up on the wedding day entitled the client to a full refund. Failure to deliver films within the allocated timeframe without written correspondence of delays allows the client to request a partial refund.

 

8. Staff Attendance:

​

In the unlikely event, the assigned Photographer or Videographer is unable to attend and fullfill their requirements due to accident, injury, or health, the Business Manager reserves the right to appoint another professional photographer or videographer of equal qualifications or higher to attend the wedding on their behalf to undertake the Wedding Photography and Film to his / her best ability.

​

Any change in team member will be contacted in writing by the Business Manager and introduced to the new team member before the Wedding Day unless circumstances were to arise the day of the wedding then a phone call, text or email will be sent and the videographer/photographer will introduce themselves and explain the circumstances on-site if need be.

​

9. Meal Requirements:

 

If the photographer or videographer is scheduled to attend the reception, meals are to be provided and given at the same time as the bridal party dinners. This will allow for adequate time for the videographer and/or photographer to complete their meals and set up and be ready for the events post-dinner.

 

Due to allergies, Alegna Weddings requests no seafood to be served for their vendor meals.

​

10. Travel Allowance and Accommodation: A travel fee will occur when the client's wedding prep and venue are located 50km outside of the Brisbane radius at the rate of $0.55c per km to cover petrol and car allowance.

​

When the videographer or photographer is required to travel more than 2hrs and 30min in one direction or 5 hours return, accommodation will be required for packages 6 hours and over. This ensures the safety of all team members.
