Terms and Conditions

Deposits

A minimum nonrefundable deposit of $295 is required to reserve a wedding date. However, contingent upon your venue and wedding package selection, a nonrefundable deposit of up to 50% or more of the entire package price may be required. The outstanding balance is due 60 days prior to the event.

Cancellations and Refunds

If a cancellation is requested, a $295 nonrefundable administrative fee will be retained from paid deposit (other nonrefundable cancellation fees are applicable if a third party or limo reservation is involved). A refund of any remaining paid deposits will be provided if a written cancellation notice is received at least 90 days prior to the reserved date, at which time thereafter, all deposits that were paid to Alpenglow Weddings become nonrefundable.

Cancellations and Refunds Involving Third Parties

Regardless if the terms for a refund are fulfilled as explained above, any deposits, or portions thereof, paid to Alpenglow Weddings that, on your behalf, were appropriated or paid to a third party to acquire or secure a specific wedding venue or facility or were appropriated or paid to a third party for the acquisition of a permit allowing for use of such wedding venue or facility, will be nonrefundable should a cancellation occur, irrespective of when notice of cancellation is given, as the refund policy of the third party will, to some extent, take precedence over that of Alpenglow Weddings’ refund policy, which characteristically contains the stipulation that the entire amount of money paid to them is nonrefundable.

Limousine Service Cancellations

If limousine services are arranged by Alpenglow Weddings on your behalf as part of your commissioned wedding services and you subsequently request to cancel the service, if cancellation occurs at least 90 days prior to the reserved event date, a limo cancellation fee of $200 will be charged and deducted from formerly paid deposits. Any remaining money paid for the cancelled service may be refunded or appropriated towards any unpaid balance.
Alternatively, if cancellation occurs within 90 days of the reserved event date, the charged cancellation fee will correspond to the total cost of the service and will be deducted from formerly paid deposits. Consequently, any monies paid for the cancelled service will not be refunded, nor will any monies paid for the cancelled service be appropriated towards any unpaid balance.

Cancellation of Specific Services

If cancellation of a specific service or services is requested, such as photography, videography, or any other acquired service or services, that were part of or supplemented to a specific wedding package, if cancellation occurs at least 90 days prior to the reserved event date, any money paid for the cancelled service may be refunded or appropriated towards any unpaid balance (excluding cancellations of limousine services in which a cancellation fee is charged).
Alternatively, if cancellation occurs within 90 days of the reserved event date, any monies paid for the cancelled service will not be refunded, nor will any monies paid for the cancelled service be appropriated towards any unpaid balance.

Fees Related to Changes to Event Agreement

Requests to change any of the intricacies of the event agreement or any of the acquired services that have previously been confirmed are subject to incurring a $175 fee. Such changes include, but are not limited to, changes to the event date or time, change of venue, renegotiating a third party contract entered into by Alpenglow Weddings on your behalf, which may include amending or revising the contract in any manner, or any other change necessitating some form of modification to or readjustment of the intricacies of the event agreement or acquired services. Correspondingly, if or wherever applicable, the aforesaid fee or terms expressed within this section may be subordinate to or in combination with other fees or terms expressed in other sections within this “Terms and Conditions” policy.

Postponements

If there is a need to reschedule your wedding date or time for any reason, we must receive written notice at least 90 days prior to the event in order for sums previously paid to be applicable to the postponed date or time. However, additional fees for the rescheduling of services may be incurred (see “Fees Related to Changes to Event Agreement”). Additionally, the new date must be set and the event must occur within the same year of the originally scheduled date for the previously paid deposits to be applied. Otherwise, the event will be regarded as a cancellation, at which time our cancellation policy as depicted above will take effect.
Moreover, if any portion of the deposits we received were paid to a third party on your behalf to acquire or secure a wedding venue or facility or for permit acquisition as formerly cited (see “Cancellations and Refunds Involving Third Parties”), in combination to our terms and conditions policy, the third party’s terms and conditions or refund policy, whichever applies, likely will become relevant, causing us to be subject to them. Furthermore, it is possible that the venue and other services that were initially contracted for may not be available on the rescheduled date or time.

Cancellations Due to Inclement Weather

Weather is oftentimes unpredictable, most particularly during the winter season. Nevertheless, should you decide to cancel your wedding due to inclement weather, we are not constrained to honor refunds. However, as an option, you may postpone the event for up to 7 days, and all payments received, if possible, will be applied to the rescheduled date if we are notified of postponement in a timely manner. Be advised, though, that the venue or specific services originally contracted for may not be available. Also, extra rescheduling costs may apply as well. Alternatively, the wedding can be moved to an indoor location in lieu of postponement, but it would be your responsibility to acquire the indoor location and pay the associated costs. Additionally, the acquired location must be in the vicinity of the venue that was previously arranged.

Change of Venue Due to Inclement Weather and Related Venue Change Fees

If inclement weather compels the event to be moved indoors, we can assist with attaining an indoor location, though we will not be liable for nor guarantee its attainment. An added fee of approximately $175 beyond contracted price will be necessary if we are able to effectively procure an indoor location. The procurement of an indoor location is typically a local wedding chapel. Be aware, though, that the number of guests may be limited, depending upon the location acquired. Client should also be aware that other additional expenses may be incurred, such as parking fees or other unforeseen expenditures.

Delayed Wedding Start Time and Related Charges

If the wedding is delayed for more than 30 minutes past the reserved start time due to the bride or groom’s unpunctual arrival to the designated meeting area or wedding site, or if the wedding is delayed for more than 30 minutes for any other reason, foreseen or unforeseen, an additional charge in the amount of $150 will be incurred. Furthermore, if the wedding officiant, in his judgment, deems the delay as becoming too excessive in which it could conceivably cause a schedule disruption for him or his imminent appointments, the officiant reserves the right to reschedule the event to a later time or date, in which case additional rescheduling fees may also apply.

Effects of Exceeding Group Size Limitations

Specific wedding venues have limitations on the size of the group that may attend an event at that particular site. The stipulated limit, imposed by the managerial agency that has jurisdiction over the specified venue, must be complied with by those who conduct weddings at these sites. If the total number within the attending party, which also includes the bride and groom, exceeds the number set forth by the agency governing the property, intentionally or unintentionally, the wedding officiant reserves the right to decline performing the wedding at that particular location. The effects could result in possible event postponement or the relocating of the group to an alternate site that could validly accommodate the entire party. In either case, rescheduling or relocating fees may apply.
