Depending on location and amount of travel, you may be responsible for air travel, hotel stay, and or car rental. All travel needs will be clearly discussed prior to you signing the contract and submitting the retainer fee.
Q What payment options do you take?
A I gladly accept cash, check and credit cards. We use Square for invoicing and credit card processing. We are looking at adding CashApp and Venmo.
Q Do you have a payment plan?
A We will create a payment plan that fits you! There's no late fees if you miss a payment. However, full payment is due 1 week prior to your wedding. We will send reminders.

A Absolutely!
