These Terms and Conditions explain how Kindred Union, LLC provides services, accepts bookings, manages payments, and sets expectations for clients using this website or booking services.

Your booking documents

Kindred Union, LLC offers wedding officiating, custom ceremony writing, elopements, micro weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and premarital coaching. Exact base fees and inclusions appear on our Services page and in the current Package Guide.

Your booking is governed by its signed documents. If they conflict, the order is: a written change approved by all parties for that booking; the Ceremony Retainer Agreement; the accepted written service description; then the Master Service Agreement. Website updates do not amend an existing signed booking.

Availability and payment

An inquiry or consultation does not reserve a date. Your ceremony date is reserved after availability is confirmed, all parties sign the Ceremony Retainer Agreement, and the required payment is received.

Ceremony services require a nonrefundable retainer of 40% of the total ceremony service fee, including approved add-ons and travel. It is credited toward the total. The balance is due 14 calendar days before the ceremony. If you book 14 calendar days or fewer before the ceremony, full payment is due at signing.

Custom Ceremony Writing Only is $200: $100 at signing and $100 when the final script is delivered. Its initial payment is an advance, not a nonrefundable retainer. No date-reservation retainer or 14-day ceremony balance deadline applies.

No additional charge applies without written approval. Date, time, venue, service, and fee changes require written agreement. Added ceremony services require 40% of the added cost at approval and the rest by the balance deadline; after that deadline, full payment for the addition is due at approval. For late payment, we send an email reminder. If unpaid three calendar days after that reminder, we may cancel under the Booking Documents.

Cancellations and rescheduling

Email cancellation and rescheduling requests to support@kindredunion.net. Ceremony cancellation takes effect when the email is received. The 40% retainer and completed-service fees are nonrefundable, with the retainer applied to completed-service fees first to prevent double charging. Any remaining prepaid amount is refunded within 30 calendar days. No other cancellation fee applies.

Ordinary rescheduling requires written agreement and availability. The retainer transfers once to a new agreed date within 12 months of the original date; any price change is confirmed in writing. Until a new date is agreed, the original reservation remains in effect.

For writing-only cancellation before final delivery, we itemize work completed, capped at the $200 fee, and credit payments received. Unused advance is refunded within 30 calendar days. Any additional amount owed for completed work is due within 14 calendar days of the statement.

Client family emergencies follow Section 6.5 of the Retainer Agreement. No medical records are requested. Options include transferring all payments to an available date within 12 months without a rescheduling fee or same-service price increase; a service credit for a booking within 12 months; or cancellation with the retainer retained and other payments refunded less completed-service fees within 30 calendar days. Writing-only delivery is extended at no added cost.

Officiant availability and safety

If Jerome Arrington cannot deliver the ceremony, the designated alternate officiant delivers it as agreed at no added cost. Acts of God and civil unrest follow Section 6.10: all payments transfer to a mutually agreed new date; if no date is agreed, the retainer remains nonrefundable and other payments are refunded less completed-service fees within 30 calendar days. Jerome’s illness or unavailability is covered by the alternate-officiant provision.

We may pause or end services for conduct or safety concerns under the MSA. Weather-related safety pauses and any inability to continue are handled under the Booking Documents. Additional ceremony time depends on availability and written fee approval.

Travel and rehearsal

Travel fees apply only beyond 150 miles, measured one-way by driving distance from 7910 Mall Ring Road, Stonecrest, GA 30038. Minimum $300; the route and final fee require a written quote and approval. Approved travel is included in the ceremony total and retainer.

Rehearsal is included with Standard Wedding, Premium Custom, and Commitment Ceremony services. For Simple Ceremony or Quick Signing, Elopement Experience, Micro Wedding, and Vow Renewal, rehearsal support is a $150 add-on. New-booking service limits are stated on the Services page and confirmed in your accepted service description.

Marriage licenses and symbolic ceremonies

For a legal wedding, clients obtain and bring a valid license, confirm county and state requirements, and provide witnesses if required. Check requirements with the issuing county probate court or licensing authority. Kindred Union does not provide legal advice or guarantee issuance or acceptance of a license. Kindred Union completes, signs, and returns the license to the issuing office within the time required by law. Commitment ceremonies are symbolic and do not create a legal marriage.

Marriage Foundations and coaching

The Marriage Foundations Program is $199, separately billed and due upon selection. Both partners attend all eight instructional hours live on Zoom. Choose two 4-hour, four 2-hour, or eight 1-hour sessions. Complete all sessions at least two weeks before the ceremony and allow time for any county processing requirements if seeking a license-fee discount. Confirm requirements with the county before enrolling; no discount is guaranteed.

A completion certificate is issued after both partners complete all eight hours. Written cancellation before the first session is refundable within 30 calendar days. No refund applies after the first session begins. A missed session may be rescheduled once with at least 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Recording requires everyone’s consent. Coaching is educational and supportive, not therapy, counseling, medical care, or legal advice. When selected through Coach Jerome and Associates, a separate agreement is issued by that business.

Creative rights and privacy

Clients approve the final script; changes after approval depend on availability. Kindred Union retains its created scripts, readings, vows, and other writing unless agreed otherwise. Clients receive personal, noncommercial use for their ceremony and keepsakes. Client-supplied stories and vows remain theirs.

Personal information and stories are used to provide services and are not sold. Disclosures follow the law and safety exceptions in the MSA. Private stories and coaching discussions are never used for marketing. Any use of photos, video, testimonials, or ceremony excerpts follows the applicable release.

Website use and general terms

Do not misuse the website, submit false information, copy protected content without permission, or interfere with site functionality. General responsibilities, liability, Georgia governing law, and dispute procedures are set out in the MSA. Changes to Booking Documents require written agreement by all parties.
