Payment Terms & Schedule

We structure payments to be manageable while ensuring your event receives the attention it deserves.

1

Deposit (50%)

A 50% deposit is required to secure your event date and initiate the planning process. This is due upon agreement execution.

2

Mid-Point Payment (25%)

A second payment of 25% is due 60 days before your event date. This supports vendors, design refinements, and logistics coordination.

3

Final Payment (25%)

The final 25% is due 14 days before your event. This ensures all details are confirmed and our team is fully prepared.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

We understand that circumstances change. Our cancellation policy balances flexibility with fairness to our team and partners.

More than 6 months before event

Cancellations more than 6 months prior to your event date will receive a full refund of the deposit, minus a 10% administrative fee.

3 to 6 months before event

Cancellations between 3-6 months prior will receive a refund of 50% of all payments received. The remaining funds support vendor deposits and planning costs already incurred.

Less than 3 months before event

Cancellations less than 3 months prior are non-refundable. At this stage, significant vendor commitments and planning resources have been allocated.

Postponement

We understand events may need to be rescheduled. Postponements to a new date within 12 months can be accommodated based on availability. A rescheduling fee of 5% may apply.

Important Policies

Vendor & Venue Requirements

All vendors and venues must be approved by Crystalline Occasions to ensure quality standards and seamless coordination. If your chosen vendor is not on our preferred list, we will review them for compatibility.

Weather & Force Majeure

In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we will work with you to reschedule or adapt your event. Additional costs may apply if alternate dates or venues are necessary.

Timeline Changes

Changes to event dates or timelines must be requested at least 30 days in advance. Requests made with less notice may incur additional fees based on vendor requirements.

Liability & Insurance

Crystalline Occasions is not responsible for vendor performance, guest conduct, or third-party services. We recommend event liability insurance for all events. Details available upon request.

Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, making timely decisions, and communicating changes promptly. Late changes may impact vendor availability and quality.
