The client will be provided with a quoted price and any flight costs are to be paid in full as part of the initial deposit.
Cancellations

The 50% deposit is non refundable as it allows for the booking slot Serena put aside for that client. The client is able to reschedule and the booking fee will be applied to the new date. In unique circumstances where personal emergencies are involved a refund may apply on a case by case basis.
Cancellation by Serena

Wedding Bookings
* Please read through carefully before making your booking. Upon booking and paying the deposit the client agrees to Serenas Terms and Conditions.
Bridal Trials
Serena recommends all brides have a trial as this is the perfect way to figure out your desired look on such a special day. These trials are approximately 2 hours long and are either located in Serenas part time salon in Northland or she can travel to you (a travel fee is applied). Trials cost $200 per person and this invoice is sent seperatly to your wedding invoice.
Deposits
To secure your desired wedding date a 50% non refundable deposit is required. Once this has been received, your booking is confirmed. The remaining 50% is due no later than 2 days after the wedding date.
If the booking is too large for Serena to complete on her own she will source another artist to assist. Having another artist does not change the booking price as Serena manages this on her end.
Cancellations & Changes
Once the deposit has been paid there are no allowances in reduction of any makeup services. If the client wishes to remove someone from the original booking after the deposit has been paid the invoice will remain the same as its time Serena has booked out for your service. If the client wishes to add any additional makeup applications (M.O.B, bridesmaid, flower girl ect) Serena will try her best to accomidate any requests.
If the client cancels their wedding date the 50% deposit will be kept by Serena as a cancelation fee. All bookings are non transferable. If the client postpones the wedding and wishes to book a new date with Serena, they will be required to pay a new 50% deposit to secure the changed date. If Serena is unavailable for the new date the client agrees to loose the non refundable 50% deposit.
Cancellations by Serena
If Serena is unwell or unable to work on the date of the wedding and needs to cancel the booking, she will do her best to find a replacement artist for her client. The 50% deposit will be refunded to the client.
