• Alaska wedding package rates: The base package includes up to 4 persons. Additional guests, up to 16 total, are $50 per person for combination wedding and reception which include site fee, cake, champagne, seating, housewares/linens, and related services. Food catering and other services are available at reasonable cost.  17% tax and gratuity additional.

• Booking Deposit: A $500 deposit is due in order to reserve the wedding date. The wedding consultant will provide you a selection of wedding options for you to review. Upon your selection of wedding/reception options, an additional deposit of 50% of the proposed wedding package cost is due so that we may begin to plan your wedding details and order your transportation, photographer, flowers, cake and other customized wedding elements. 

• Final Prepayment: Payment for the wedding balance is due in full 60 days prior to the wedding. 

• Change Fees: After the bridal couple selects the wedding details, including but not limited to day, time, location, flowers, cake, transportation, photography, vows, beverages and any other wedding element options, the initial planning agreement is complete and the bridal consultant will proceed to coordinate and order these items. Once you order through the wedding planner, you will incur a minimum $50 change fee, or $120 per hour, whichever is greater, for each element that is directly or indirectly changed/delayed/cancelled. Example, if you change the time or day, this affects the pre-ordered delivery and appointment times for each element, thus there is multiple change fees, one for each element that needs to be re-coordinated.

  Changes, additions or special orders beyond simple customization may require additional coordination and follow-up & thus a minimum service fee of $50 or $120 per hour, whichever is greater depending on extra time expended, plus the cost of goods & services. This applies regardless of when the change is made, the reason for the change, or the nature of the change/addition/deletion.

• Special orders: We will accommodate any reasonable request for a special order to help create the wedding of your dreams. There is a 25% surcharge for specialty items, and $120/hourly for the wedding consultant/planner. Certified Wedding Consultant is available on-site for additional or non-prepackaged services for $120 per hour prior, during or after the wedding/reception event.

• Cancellation of wedding: $500 save the date deposit is non-refundable.  Minimum of 50% forfieted if cancelled more than  60 days prior to wedding - depending on planner investment in time/money for arranging and cancelling wedding and various orders, as well as any non-refundable special orders, and vendor cancellation policies if more stringent.  No refund if cancelled within 60 days prior to wedding.
  

• Inclement Weather: Weather changes quickly, often for the better, so we usually proceed as normal, even if it is drizzling. Usually, we can just wait out the weather for a little bit if needed. However, if a local flight or boat transportation is cancelled due to inclement weather, your can choose to delay your wedding or choose a land-based venue. If we are on standby more than 45 minutes, there may be an additional standby fee for the photographer or other service providers. A partial refund may be possible if we are unable to take the boat/plane/helicopter, depending on alternate site selection and any extra time and expenses incurred.
