Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: September 9, 2026

Welcome to WeddingChaplain.com. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of WeddingChaplain.com and certain communications and services provided through the website by Wedding Chaplain (“Wedding Chaplain,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using this website, submitting a form, or using an online feature offered through WeddingChaplain.com, you agree to these Terms.

Additional terms may apply when you book wedding services. In particular, booked services may be governed by a separate Wedding Chaplain Service Agreement.

Website Use

WeddingChaplain.com provides information about wedding officiating, ceremony preparation, marriage-related resources, scheduling, and other Wedding Chaplain services.

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes.

You may not:

• Attempt to interfere with the operation or security of the website

• Attempt unauthorized access to systems or information

• Use automated tools to improperly scrape or copy website content

• Submit fraudulent or intentionally misleading information

• Impersonate another person

• Use the website in a manner that violates applicable law

We may restrict access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect our systems, users, or business.

Wedding Services and Service Agreements

Information on WeddingChaplain.com is intended to help you learn about Wedding Chaplain and available services. Website content does not by itself guarantee that a particular officiant, ceremony package, date, time, or location is available.

A wedding date or service is considered reserved only when the booking requirements communicated to you have been completed. Those requirements may include execution of a Service Agreement and payment of a required retainer, deposit, or other amount.

When you enter into a separate Service Agreement with Wedding Chaplain, that agreement governs the specific services you purchased.

If these website Terms conflict with your signed Service Agreement regarding your booked wedding services, the Service Agreement will control for those services.

Pricing and Payments

Prices, packages, travel charges, additional services, payment schedules, retainers, and other fees may vary depending on the services requested.

The applicable Service Agreement, proposal, invoice, or checkout information will identify the charges associated with your booking.

You agree to provide accurate billing and payment information and to pay amounts when due.

Wedding Chaplain may use third-party payment processors to process transactions.

Retainers and Deposits

A retainer or deposit may be required to reserve a wedding date, time, officiant, or other service.

The applicable Service Agreement and our Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy will explain whether a particular payment is refundable and any conditions that apply.

Because wedding dates and officiant availability are limited, accepting a booking may result in Wedding Chaplain declining other requests for the same date or time.

Cancellation and Rescheduling

Cancellations, postponements, date changes, venue changes, and other significant booking changes are subject to our Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy and the applicable Service Agreement.

You should review those terms before completing a booking.

Client Responsibilities

Couples are responsible for providing accurate and timely information needed to prepare for and perform the ceremony.

This may include:

• Correct names and contact information

• Wedding date and time

• Venue information

• Ceremony preferences

• Required deadlines

• Relevant venue rules

• Changes to the wedding schedule

• Required legal documents

You are responsible for informing Wedding Chaplain promptly if important wedding details change.

Marriage License and Legal Requirements

The couple is responsible for obtaining a valid marriage license and satisfying legal requirements applicable to their marriage, including identification, application procedures, waiting periods, expiration dates, and any other requirements imposed by the appropriate government authority.

Wedding Chaplain and the officiant will perform the officiant's responsibilities as required by applicable law and the Service Agreement.

Wedding Chaplain is not responsible for a marriage failing to become legally effective because the couple failed to obtain a valid license, provided incorrect information, failed to provide required documentation, missed a government deadline, or was otherwise legally unable to marry.

If you are uncertain about marriage-license requirements, you should contact the government office responsible for issuing marriage licenses in the jurisdiction where the marriage will occur.

Officiant Assignment and Substitution

Wedding Chaplain may provide services through members of its officiant team.

When a specific officiant has been requested or assigned, we will make reasonable efforts to have that officiant perform the ceremony.

However, emergencies, illness, injury, severe weather, transportation problems, family emergencies, or other circumstances outside reasonable control can occur.

If an assigned officiant becomes unavailable, Wedding Chaplain may attempt to provide another qualified officiant. Any rights to cancellation or refund arising from an officiant substitution will be governed by the applicable Service Agreement, our Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy, and applicable law.

Wedding Schedule and Delays

Couples are responsible for providing an accurate ceremony start time and notifying Wedding Chaplain of schedule changes.

Significant delays may affect an officiant's ability to remain at the venue, particularly when the officiant has additional commitments.

Any additional charges or limitations relating to substantial delays will be disclosed through the applicable Service Agreement or agreed upon with the couple.

Travel and Additional Expenses

Some weddings may require mileage, travel, lodging, parking, tolls, or other expenses.

Any known required travel charges will be disclosed as part of the booking process or Service Agreement whenever reasonably practicable.

Material additional services or costs requested after booking may require the couple's approval before being added.

Communication by Email

By providing your email address, you authorize Wedding Chaplain to send communications reasonably related to your inquiry, consultation, booking, payment, ceremony, or requested services.

If you separately subscribe to marketing communications, you may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the instructions contained in those messages.

Opting out of marketing communications does not prevent us from sending transactional or service-related messages when necessary for an existing inquiry, appointment, or booking.

SMS/Text Messaging Terms

If you provide a mobile phone number and affirmatively opt in to text messaging, Wedding Chaplain may send messages consistent with the consent you provided.

Depending on your selection, messages may include:

• Appointment confirmations and reminders

• Scheduling communications

• Wedding preparation information

• Customer-care communications

• Service updates

• Other non-marketing messages related to your inquiry or booking

• Marketing or promotional messages, if you separately consent to those messages

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to unsubscribe from text messaging. After an opt-out request is processed, you may receive a final confirmation message.

Reply HELP for assistance or contact Wedding Chaplain using the information listed below.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing or receiving Wedding Chaplain services.

Marketing and non-marketing text messaging consent may be collected separately.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Any dispute will be handled in a court with appropriate jurisdiction unless another dispute-resolution procedure is established in a signed agreement between you and Wedding Chaplain.

Before initiating formal proceedings, we encourage both parties to attempt in good faith to resolve disputes directly.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically.

Changes will be posted on WeddingChaplain.com with an updated effective date. Changes will not retroactively modify the material terms of an existing signed Service Agreement unless permitted by that agreement and applicable law.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
