The entire booking process can be completed through email and with my online contract system. We can also either meet in person, or if this is not possible (if you are not in the New Orleans area, for instance, or if your schedule does not allow) but you would like to discuss details before booking, we can have a phone call or a virtual meeting via Facetime if you would like. A non-refundable retainer of one third of the package price is due upon signing the contract, a middle (also non-refundable) payment of one third is due at approximately the halfway point between then and the date of the wedding, and the final balance is due two weeks before the wedding.
