General Terms and Conditions – Wedding Officiant Noor
As soon as I receive confirmation that I may officiate your wedding, I will issue the invoice. The deposit invoice amounts to 20% of the total fee. If a request for a Personal Registrar (Eigen Babs) needs to be made with the municipality, these costs will be added, along with any additional expenses such as parking fees, an extra rehearsal afternoon, or travel costs for distances of 40 km or more.
The final invoice will be sent to you four weeks prior to the wedding date.
The general terms and conditions will be included with the invoice.
