​

3. PAYMENTS AND COOLING-OFF PERIOD

The cooling-off period begins once the client pays the reservation fee and the booking is confirmed.

​

4. DATE CHANGES/CANCELLATIONS

  • A written request should be sent to miss.mauricemarcelo@hotmail.com if the client wishes to reschedule the engagement. This request must be made at least 30 days prior to the originally scheduled date. Changes will depend on the artist’s availability. If the artist is not available on the new date and both parties cannot find a mutually agreeable alternative, the booking will be canceled. In this case, cancellation charges will apply, along with the loss of the reservation fee.

  • Cancellation Policy for Client Engagements
    If the client cancels the engagement after the 7-day cooling-off period but before 60 days prior to the event, only the $100 reservation fee will be forfeited. Cancellations made prior to the event will incur the following fees:
