Payment Policy For Marry Me In Indy! LLC

We require couples to book online.  When you book your appointment online with your payment, you are required to check a box stating you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.  You are entering into a legal contract. 

These are the details about our terms of service.  I want everyone to know what they are agreeing to when booking our services.  Our goal is to be as straightforward as possible.  

If you followed this link when using my online booking service, please find the policy for the service you are booking below.  Civil Ceremonies in our office have policies that are different from Wedding Ceremonies outside the office. 

Force Majeure

In cases of Force Majeure - Such as fire, flood, tornado, or worldwide pandemic that forces the government to shut down or limit your wedding- I will do my very best to reschedule services when it is a more suitable time to do so, doing my best to work with your other vendors to find a date and time that works best for most.  I go forward with the assumption that you still intend to be legally married and that I am the person you hired to legally marry you.  Legal marriages can happen without guests or a reception.  If you choose to no longer utilize the agreed-upon services - be they legal or to perform a formal ceremony if you are already legally married - you forfeit any payment already made.  ​​

Booking and Payment Policy for Indy Civil Ceremony Services Held in our Office. 

• You are booking a non-religious civil ceremony held in a business office.  
• We are using our office to perform a professional service. That professional service is a legal marriage.  
• Our office is not a wedding venue. You are not renting the space.  We are performing your civil ceremony in our office.
• We are providing a place to exchange vows surrounded by 0-8 witnesses. 
• There is seating for 6 OR 8 standing.  That’s all the space will comfortably allow. 
• There may be people working in surrounding offices while you are getting married. 
• You must obtain your own marriage license in accordance with Indiana law and bring it with you. If you are NOT an Indiana resident, you MUST obtain your marriage license in the county in which you are being married.  We are in MARION County.  You cannot cross the border, go to the nearest clerk and bring it to Marion County to get married.  
• We will sign the license together and perform a wedding ceremony.  
• The completed marriage license must be returned to the clerk that issued it within 30 days. 
• A legal wedding ceremony can be either a quick “I do,” or an exchange of formal vows and rings.  It is up to you.
• The office building is open Monday-Friday from 8:30-5.  The building is locked at all other times.
• If you book an appointment outside of regular business hours, your entire party must arrive together because we need to let you in the building and use a key for the elevators.  
• This service is limited to the couple and 8 witnesses.  
• If you bring more than 8 witnesses, you have the option to get married outside on Monument Circle - weather permitting.  Each of your children count as a guest unless they are literally a baby in someone’s arms. No more than 8 people plus the couple being married will be allowed in our office. Please understand - 8 people is standing room only and can be tight!
• I do not have a changing area.  You must come dressed for your wedding. The public bathrooms are extremely small. 
• There is no handicapped restroom on my floor and my floor is the only one I have access to during non-business hours. 
• Please do not bring alcohol or food.  Please don’t bring a cake - even a small one - or champagne.  
• Please do not make me ruin your wedding day by having to say no - even when you knew ahead of time I already did.  
• Payment is due when you book your appointment.  You do not have an appointment if you have not paid in full.  
• Appointments are 30 minutes long.  It takes about 20 minutes for a full civil ceremony service.  Less if you just need a signature. 
• If you arrive late, you can still be legally married but may not have time for more than just a basic exchange of vows.  
• If you are late and miss your appointment, there are no refunds.  ​
• 60 minute appointments are available if you already know you and your witnesses have a tendency to run late. 
• I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who does not follow my policies.  
• ​If you make an appointment online, there are no refunds.  You can reschedule.  We are open to the public Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 8:30-5,  to allow you to walk-in without an appointment and pay cash or card at that time. If you are not sure of your schedule, please utilize our walk-in hours.   Please check our website daily for up-to-date walk-in hours.  We will publish changes as far in advance as possible.  
• If you have scheduled a $100 appointment - you can reschedule at no extra charge to a day we have walk-in hours. ​
• If you book an appointment for an evening or a weekend, you must reschedule at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. 
• You can reschedule to another date one time within 90 days from the original date you booked without incurring an additional fee. This means if you schedule an appointment on January 1st you must get married by  March 30th.    
• You can reschedule to another date one time within 90 days from the original date you booked without incurring an additional fee. You must reschedule at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment.  This means, if you book on January 1st, you have until March 31st to get married.  It does not extend the time frame. ​
• It is always our intention to fulfill our commitments to all the couples that choose us to marry them. Our Civil Ceremony Services are considered a last-minute appointment - not a "wedding" planned months and years in advance.  We only allow these services to be booked up to 90 days in advance to assure you, to the best of my ability, that I am available the day you want to get married. If there is an emergency and we are unable to marry you, We will let you know immediately and either try to re-schedule your appointment or refund your payment in full.    An "Emergency" is a legitimate illness or injury, mandatory quarantine, or a family related emergency.
• Your Civil Ceremony will be performed by Peter or Victoria Meyer. You can only guarantee Victoria will marry you if you book a wedding at another location. Peter does not perform any religious ceremonies. 
• Marry Me In Indy! LLC is not financially liable for any more than the fee you have already paid.

Please never assume it is OK to do anything you want in a public location. Just because a place is open to the public does not mean you can get married there at any time in any way you wish.
