Changes in Payment Options

by | Sep 30, 2013 | Uncategorized

We have been doing a huge cleanup around here – our spring is way too busy so we like to call this “fall cleaning”. We have a very exciting announcement to make by the end of this week but a “eh” announcement to make right now – not very exciting, but important.

During our fall cleaning, we evaluated our payment options that we have for clients. We found that we either need to raise our rates or we need to eliminate our transaction fees paid to credit card companies.We decided its not fair to raise rates on everyone when not everyone is paying with a credit card.

Since the change will take place for all weddings starting November 1st, we emailed all of our November and December couples directly to inform them of the changes so they could prepare. We also wanted to make an announcement here as well. Here is a copy of the email our November & December couples received, explaining the new Payment Options.
 
If you wish to pay by PayPal: We will only be able to accept PayPal transfers. We will not be able to accept payments via credit card with PayPal. Debit cards are ok, as well as eChecks.

If you wish to pay by Credit Card: For all credit card payments, you will be charged a 3% transaction fee.
Other payment methods:
Payments by checks must be received at least 14 days prior to your wedding date.
Cash, money orders and cashier’s checks will be accepted at any time leading up to your wedding day. Everything must be paid in full by the start of the ceremony.
