A Non refundable Deposit is required to reserve our services or a package. Please read the package description for amount details. The balance (total minus deposit) is due ONE MONTH prior your ceremony date. If you are reserving for a ceremony ONE MONTH or LESS away, you must pay in full at the time of the reservation in order to hold your date. If you are reserving a special offer, please read the special offer's terms and conditions for details of payment required.
Our prices and packages' content are subject to change anytime without notice. Couples that reserve NOW are subject to CURRENT package descriptions and CURRENT prices. After you reserve and pay your deposit, future changes DO NOT affect you. Again, changes to our packages and prices DO NOT AFFECT CONFIRMED RESERVATIONS.
Postponements:
- You may postpone your event only once for a later date as long you give us at least 60 calendar-days notice - subject to OUR calendar availability. You must give us a new date at the time of the postponement and we can only accept your postponement if your new date is available at that time.
- If you postpone your event more than 60 calendar days away from your event date for any reason, you can apply your deposit, minus location and vendor's penalty fees if applicable, towards a future ceremony date no more than 6 months away from your original ceremony date. New dates are subject to availability.
- If you requested and paid for the Florida Marriage License by Mail service and your licensed has already been issued by the Clerk of the Courts, you will need to pay for a second license because licenses' valid dates cannot be changed.
- If you reserved a package which includes a paid location, you may loose those fees subject to the location cancellation/postponement rules.
- Special offers and discounted services and packages cannot be postponed for a later date. If you would like to postpone your ceremony for a future date and are giving us the required advanced notice as stated above, you may use the money already paid towards a future date BUT you would need to reserve a regular-priced package instead; the actual discounted package cannot be postponed.
Cancellation Policy:
- Deposits are NOT refundable and are NOT transferable under ANY circumstances - no exceptions - if you cancel your reservation you do not get your deposit back.
- If you paid in full and cancel your reservation more than 60 calendar days away from your ceremony date, all monies will be refunded except for the non refundable deposit, marriage license fees and location fees if applicable.
- If you cancel your beach ceremony 60 days or less from your event day no refunds will be given unless we are able to rebook your date with another couple for a package or service of the same or larger value than yours. Marriage License fees, credit card fees (3%) and location penalty fees if applicable are not refundable under any circumstances because we do not get to keep that money either!
- Florida Marriage License by Mail Service fees are NOT refundable under any circumstances.
Only what's listed under each package description is what's included. Do NOT make assumptions. If you have questions, please ask us before you reserve. You will receive a final confirmation via e-mail within 14 days after a signed agreement and applicable payment is received with a summary of what's included with your reservation. From time to time, we revise our services and packages to accommodate new demands. These changes DO NOT affect current reservations.

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY AGREEMENT:

when you reserve our services, It is understood that DWOO is the exclusive photographer and/or Videographer for your event. YOU CANNOT BRING YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHER OR VIDEOGRAPHER NOR ASK A third party WITH PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT TO "FILL-IN" AS AN ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER OR VIDEOGRAPER. Family and friends are welcome to use their nonprofessional cameras FROM A DESIGNATED AREA in a discrete and respectful way. however, Any person(s) with professional equipment will be asked to put the equipment away until our services are completed or we will gladly wrap-up our services and let them "take over' and no refunds should be expected.
Photography and videography services are sold separate. Packages with photography only DO NOT include videography; these are TWO different services!
your photos will be ready approximately 2 months after your ceremony sometimes sooner and sometimes takes longer depending on our work schedule.
Photography and videography work is sold "as is". There are no refunds or partial refunds if you are not satisfied with your photos and/or video. Although we strive for high quality work, due to elements out of our control, such as weather, guests' cooperation, natural lighting, etc., it is not always possible.
In the unlikely event of equipment malfunction or any other situation that will prevent us from delivering NO photos and/or NO video footage at all, our liability and compensation is limited to a refund of monies paid for the photography and videography portion of your agreement only. If you booked a special offer where either the photography or videography was advertised as FREE, NO compensation should be expected at all.
Our staff WILL NOT operate other people's electronic equipment including but not limited to cameras, radios, video cameras, etc.; Please be respectful to our staff and don't ask.

ALL photography is taken at the ceremony location ONLY and must be completed within an hour to the photographer's discretion. you may extend photography and/or videography time or add a second location for an added fee if requested with advanced notice.

LATE START: IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ARRIVE LATE; PLAIN AN SIMPLE. Your ceremony has been given a specific start time. As much as we like to you feel that this is "your day", you might not be the only couple we are working with on your wedding day. If your ceremony starts late, we will shorten the length of your ceremony service to accommodate other responsibilities we may have. any event that has not begun within 30 minutes from the scheduled start time will be automatically cancelled and no refunds will be given. Traffic congestion or not knowing where you are going is NOT an acceptable excuse. If you are not familiar with the ceremony location, visit the site ahead of time and give yourself additional driving time in case of traffic congestion.
