Booking Fees, Postponements and Cancellations

A non refundable Booking Fee of $500, and the completion of this contract, is required upfront to secure the services of Toast Wedding Films. This sum will be deducted from your final invoice.

In the event of a cancellation, regardless of the cause, this Booking Fee will be retained by Toast Wedding Films. This applies even in the event that COVID19 travel restrictions prevent the client from entering the country.

If the booking needs to be rescheduled, the first change of date will be free of charge. An additional fee may apply to any further rescheduling.

In the event of a force-majeure situation that prohibits the wedding from going ahead, the Booking Fee will be held to cover costs already accrued by Toast Wedding Films for work done in anticipation of your wedding date.

Final Invoice

The balance will be payable within 14 days of the final invoice being issued. This will be issued to you 30 days prior to the wedding date. If this is not paid prior to your wedding date, we reserve the right to cancel our services and your Booking Fee will not be refunded.

Editing + Changes

Toast Wedding Films retains the right to edit the video as they see fit based on our experience and expertise and based upon our style as evident in our published work. We may also omit any footage that does not meet our standards. We will allow for one set of reasonable changes to specific shots or audio that do not impact upon our style as evident in our published work.

We reserve the right to refuse changes if it impacts our style. In the event of requests to change the edit based on the appearance of the bride/groom in certain shots, we will remove these shots entirely and lengthen other clips in the film rather than replacing with other material.

Style

This booking is undertaken based on the understanding that the client has seen some of our body of work and recognises the style in which we will produce the final material(s). We want you to choose us because you like our films and want your own video created in the same style. We reserve the right to refuse any requests to shoot or edit in a way that we believe is outside of our style.

Music

Toast Wedding Films retains the right to select the music for the video as they see fit based on our experience and expertise and based upon our style as evident in our published work.

We retain the right to only use music tracks that can be licensed. We reserve the right to refuse changes to the music if it impacts our style.

Helicopters

As a company policy, we will not fly in any Robinson helicopters or with Helicopter Line. If this is booked without our knowledge, we will refuse to fly on the day.

Packages

You have selected specific coverage in the package chosen above. If coverage needs to be extended on the day for any reason, additional hours will be charged to the client at a rate of $495/hr. Additional hours are subject to availability and, if booked in advance, will not be refunded on the day.

Live Streaming

$850 where the ceremony is at a venue with an accessible, reliable internet connection already available. Where this is not the case, price will be assessed on application.

Drone

Aerial video is subject to suitable weather conditions and locations. If you have organised the wedding through a third party planner, please note that aerial video may be subject to approval of their own health and safety policies. It is your responsibility to notify us in advance of the locations for your day so we can approve the use of the drone.

Our Team

Each of our packages specifies the number of team members required for the shoot. We will not send any less staff than is stated. We ask that any coverage lasting more than 6hrs includes food and refreshment for our team but we do not need to be allocated seating with your guests. In fact, this is a nice chance for us to have some time out 🙂 We expect our team members to be treated with respect at all times and any threats or verbally/physically abusive behaviour, perceived or otherwise, towards them will not be tolerated.

In this extremely unlikely event, we reserve the right to immediately cease any work on your film and no refunds will be given.

Weather

We have filmed weddings in glorious sunshine, snowstorms and heavy rain and we’re always able to create incredible films. The weather does, of course, impact certain visuals and our ability to capture certain things. In particular: wind can seriously affect our ability to capture clean audio during your ceremony; wind and rain can affect our ability to fly the drone; rain may affect our ability to capture certain types of shots. We would therefore highly recommend putting some thought into plan-b’s for bad weather situations. We will always attempt to be flexible in the event you wish to move your wedding date due to bad weather. However, this is subject to our availability and we reserve the right to charge a postponement fee.
