1. Quotes
Quotes are valid for 14 days.
We cannot hold dates or provide tentative bookings. To confirm your quote and secure your date, we require an initial non-refundable 25% payment and approval of these terms + conditions.
It is your responsibility to review all event details, including the date, wedding venue, and quantities of items to be delivered.
2. Booking Confirmation
A booking is confirmed upon electronic signature of these terms + conditions as well as receipt of an initial non-refundable 25% payment.
This initial payment is non-refundable. It is compensation for our work done to date and is required to secure our services for your date because it precludes us from booking another event on your event date.
This payment will be deducted from the total owing.
Signing this agreement confirms you have proofread and approved all the details of your event.
Changes to the quote can be made under the conditions outlined in the “Changes to Quote” section.
3. Payment Terms
The balance owing on your order is due 30 days prior to your wedding date.
We cannot deliver any items or event designs without final confirmation of payment receipt.
Payments can be made by Direct Deposit.
4. Changes to Quotes
Upon accepting this quote, you are agreeing to the items and to the total value listed.
Should you wish to make changes to the items in this quote, we require a minimum of 30 days notice before your event date. However, please note, the final quote amount cannot be reduced by more than 10% from the original agreed upon estimate.
Changes to your event date and venue can only be made under the conditions listed in the “Rescheduled & Relocated Events” section.
All changes must be made in writing to hello@ellieagnes.com
5. Rescheduled Events
The client must advise of any change to the event delivery venue or event date in writing to hello@ellieagnes.com
We will do our best to accommodate new dates or location changes however we cannot guarantee our availability.
If we are unavailable on your new event date, or are unable to accommodate your change of venue, the initial 25% payment made remains non-refundable.
If we are available on your new event date, or able to accommodate your delivery address change, the initial payment made will be transferred to the new date. A new contract and quote will be drawn up taking into account the changed circumstances. (For instance, wholesale product prices fluctuate through the season, delivery and hourly wages vary)
6. Event Cancellation
If the client decides to cancel this agreement, it must be done in writing to hello@ellieagnes.com at least 30 days before the event.
Events cancelled within 30 days of the event date remain payable in full, regardless of the circumstance.
If you cancel your event and provide more than 30 days notice, the initial payment made remains non-refundable. Moneys paid above and beyond the initial 30% payment will be refunded.
We reserve the right to cancel the contract at any time. In this instance, you are entitled to a full refund (including the initial 30% payment).
7. Price Variations
We reserve the right to amend or change the pricing outlined in this quote in the event of cost changes beyond our control (e.g. wholesale flower prices).
We will make every effort to honour the original agreed price, however the current volatile nature of shipping (national/international) dramatically affects wholesale flower prices.
Any price increases will be formally advised to you in writing and a recommendation provided to the client at least 14 days prior to your event date.
8. Product Substitution & Availability
All flowers and foliages are subject to seasonal quality and availability.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability, exact colours or shades of specific product. When working with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees. Unseasonably warm, wet or cool seasons have a dramatic impact on flower and foliage availability.
Regardless of the availability of specific products, we will always adhere to the agreed colour palette and style of floral design, as outlined in our supplied design inspiration (linked at the top of your quote).
Refunds will not be given for minor changes in flower type or appearance.
We reserve the right to substitute all products to ensure the highest quality ingredients are used. If needed, a final consultation can be arranged to discuss alternative options.
9. Delivery & Pick up
Upon delivery or pick up the client assumes all responsibility and care for your flowers and designs.

This includes, but is not limited to social media, brochures, websites, Pinterest, advertising, magazine submissions and other publications related to self-promotion and marketing.
