ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This contract contains the entire understanding between SURE THING COLLECTIVE and the CLIENT. It supersedes all prior and simultaneous agreements between the parties.

The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by all the parties. If the parties want to waive one provision of this agreement, that does not mean that any other provision is also waived.

The party against whom a waiver is sought to be effective must have signed a waiver in writing.

DATE RESERVATION:

A signed contract and 30% non-refundable reservation fee are required to reserve the specified vendors and more importantly the calendar date of the wedding as set by the CLIENT in this contract. Wedding bookings by nature are uniquely conditional to a specific date request by THE CLIENT and therefore attract a reservation fee to hold said date upon THE CLIENT’S request. THE CLIENT understands that upon reserving their wedding date, the primary purpose of the reservation fee is to exclude other potential clients from the same date should their wedding booking requirements overlap.

The CLIENT understands the climate (e.g. economic climate or personal circumstances) in which they are reserving their wedding date.

Final payment of balance is due four weeks before wedding date. Early and progress payments are available upon request.

Any changes the clients choose to make to this agreement, such as additional guest numbers, adding optional extras etc. must be discussed with Sure Thing Collective via email and final changes submitted via an amended booking form and resend to Sure Thing Collective.

All changes must occur before final balance is paid and cleared in the bank account 4 weeks before the wedding date.

Client changes to key Sure Thing Collective vendors including photographer, celebrant, hair and makeup artist, cake decorator and stylist / decor hire are not permitted once booking is confirmed.

 

All paperwork to meet legal requirements must be lodged with your celebrant a minimum of one month before the wedding date. We suggest you organise a scheduled meeting.

If delay or hold ups occur (outside our vendors control) Sure Thing Collective reserve the right to commence the ceremony 30 minutes from the scheduled ceremony time. A ceremony can commence and legals completed afterwards if needed. However, please note that this will impact plans after the ceremony such as photography and food, Sure Thing Collective and suppliers cannot be held accountable due to delays outside their control.

Clients who choose to book and use their own suppliers e.g. for filmmaker, fireworks, car company etc. do so at their own discretion and must alert Sure Thing Collective of the booking/s. Sure Thing Collective take no responsibility for their service on the day, but will work towards a friendly collaboration.

All styling items included in this agreement are included on a hire basis only, and therefore must remain on site. Should any items be removed or damaged the client agrees to compensate Sure Thing Collective or Miss Weddings (depending on supplier) for any losses. Amount / charges to be determined based on said loss and replacement options. Upon confirmation of styling options with Miss Weddings, your credit card details will be collected, and only used should any damages / missing items occur. The client will be notified before any charges are made.

CANCELLATIONS:

THE CLIENT understands that unlike many other industries, replacement bookings for specific dates are improbable.

Therefore, in the event of cancellation by THE CLIENT, the reservation fee or amounts paid to date are non-refundable. It shall be liquidated damages to Sure Thing Collective in the event of a breach of contract by CLIENT. As previously mentioned, the reservation fee prohibits Sure Thing Collective from booking overlapping clients. So, the cancellation of booking by THE CLIENT will result in a loss of income for all vendors engaged and Sure Thing Collective for the booked date.

In addition, The CLIENT shall also be responsible for payment for any materials charges incurred up to the time of cancellation that are not included in the initial 30% package reservation fee. E.g. if THE CLIENT has booked the Sweetest thing package for $1550 (that includes venue, photographer and celebrant), the reservation fee is $765. This reservation fee is to secure the venue, photographer and celebrant only. Should the client request Sure Thing Collective to book add a grazing box and this item cannot be refunded to Sure Thing Collective, then THE CLIENT will be responsible for this fee on cancellation.

POSTPONEMENTS:

In the event the CLIENT request to postpone services, a request to postpone must be in writing and occur at least 3 months before booked date for elopement or midweek packages or at least 4 months before booked date for all other packages. A postponement can be rescheduled within one calendar year of original date and subject to availability. One postponed date will be accepted.

Sure Thing Collective reserves the right to charge additional fees, should the rescheduled date incur additional cost, Sure Thing Collective will work cooperatively towards a new date suitable to all parties involved.

COVID (and the like):

Should an unlikely event arise, (that is the fault of neither the CLIENT nor Sure Thing Collective), Sure Thing Collective will happily transfer the booking to another similar date (within one calendar year of the original date) free of charges and fees. Other options, at the discretion of Sure Thing Collective, may also be offered, such as a credit note for other services. An example of such an event, is a government directive directly impacting the wedding, for instance, Qld lockdowns that prevent the wedding from being performed. Note: Border closures do not prevent a wedding from going ahead unless the couple are unable to enter Qld.

The client hereby grants to Sure Thing Collective and associates, the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of this wedding. Imagery of the wedding may be used for editorial, trade, advertising, and any other purpose and in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same. The client hereby releases Sure Thing Collective and its associates and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said photographs.

Payment of any monies is also considered an agreement to all terms and conditions.
