The White Rose Wedding Chapel - The Sweetest Little Wedding Chapel in the West

We accept cash, money orders and travelers checks only.

We no longer accept credit cards, debit cards or personal checks.

Full payment must be made before a ceremony begins!

No exceptions.

Payment of Retainer:

We require the payment of a retainer for the official booking of a ceremony. The retainer is an initial payment of a portion of the total price of the ceremony or ceremony package. The minimum retainer payment is $100.

Couples who come to The White Rose Chapel for a consultation appointment to discuss, arrange for or consider the booking of a ceremony are encouraged to be prepared to pay a retainer at that time, if they have decided to retain the services of The White Rose.

Couples who choose to retain our services from a distance (e.g., couples from out of town or out of state planning to come to Colorado for their ceremony) may pay their retainer, or make full payment, by mailing a money order at least two weeks prior to the ceremony.

Exceptions to the requirement for a retainer payment may be made at our discretion, e.g., in cases where we have been retained by an out-of-town couple for a ceremony that is scheduled to occur too soon for the check-mailing procedure. Such exceptions will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

If for any reason a couple decides to hire us but cannot pay a retainer at that time, an unofficial booking will be held for 3 business days only. The payment of a retainer must be firmly arranged with The White Rose for the unofficial booking to be held beyond that time. (NOTE: There is no set amount of time before a scheduled ceremony that a booking must be made; we frequently book ceremonies on short notice. However, the availability of any particular date and time depends on our schedule and retained bookings; and a couple risks not having their chosen time continue to be available as long as their retainer has not been paid.)

If a ceremony booking is cancelled for any reason by the client couple, the retainer is non-refundable (but we will be glad to apply it to a re-scheduled booking). If the balance had been paid in full, or if a retainer of more than $100 had been paid, the amount over $100 may be refunded to the client couple, at the discretion of The White Rose.

Payment of Balance Due:

Occasionally, couples choose to pay off the balance due (i.e., the remainder of the total fee, after the down-payment retainer has been paid) in several installments. This is not a problem, subject to the requirements stated (above and below).

The balance due is payable two weeks (14 days) prior to the scheduled date of the ceremony. The balance may be paid by cash, money order or travelers check.
