**TRAVEL & MILEAGE**
Locations beyond the Kohala Coast, Kailua-Kona, Waimea, as well activities such as hiking, boat, and helicopter trips, include a travel fee. Please add $50 per hour and $0.60 per mile for mileage. Calculations are based on round trip originating from Waikoloa Village.

**LATE FEE**
You have a 15-minute grace period. After this period, a late fee of $50 will be applied for each additional 15 minutes. A courtesy call will waive the first 15-minute late fee if made an hour or more before prior to scheduled start time. In cases where it is not in your control or cannot be avoided, the late fee will be waved. Officiant is not obligated to wait if couple is more than a half hour late. There will be no refunds or credits to your billing.
**NON-REFFUNDABLE RETAINER**
Retainer pays for the initial consultation time. Time spent before your ceremony, by text, emails, phone calls and billing. This helps to cover my time if cancel. The consultation fee is $200 per hr, so in cases where the retainer is higher than $200, we will refund up all but $200. Retainer also blocks the date and is a commitment us. In many cases the your date would have been filled by another couple.
**IMPORTANT**
Please be aware that if you are more than half hour late to ceremony start time, the Officiant is not obligated to officiate your ceremony. A total of an hour is reserved for your ceremony, which includes a 15 minute call time for preparations, 15 minute grace period and a half-hour for the ceremony. Timeliness is essential to ensure everything runs smoothly. You will not receive a refund or credit.
PLEASE TEXT OR CALL MICHAELA A HALF-HOUR BEFORE CEREMONY START TIME, IF YOU ARE RUNNING BEHIND SCHEDULE OR WILL BE LATE. PROVIDE NEW ARRIVAL TIME
Text Michaela at 808-896-7955, 3 days before ceremony to confirm ceremony start time and location.
Obtaining your marriage license is the responsibility of the couple, not the officiant.
