BOOKINGS WITH TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

McGee is more than happy to make the accommodation and travel arrangements on your behalf – we do not charge any additional fees for this service

Upon signing and returning the quote, McGee would require a 50% deposit based on the above estimates and we will make travel arrangements to include accommodation, airfares, the rental car and seek quotes for AV. Once this has been obtained, McGee will come back with an updated quote to accurately reflect what has been booked and the final updated costs. Your final balance would be due 4 weeks prior to the wedding as opposed to the normal 2 weeks so all the arrangements could be paid and finalised

McGee will always choose the most effective option whilst meeting the needs of the artist and client. McGee will work as closely as possible to the estimates as mentioned above

For rental car, the initial hire will be paid in advance. The petrol charges and any additional fees [airport fees/ tolls etc] that will be charged upon returning the vehicle will be issued as a separate invoice within 7 days post the wedding with the balance due within 3 days of issue

PERFORMANCE ETIQUETTE/ FORCE MAJEURE/ PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS

12 The Performer agrees that the Performance will not include contents which:

◦ . (i) offend prevailing community standards;

McGee Entertainment will make a concerted effort to provide an alternative solution/Artist/s if time permits

In event where the client/engager declines the alternative solution offered by McGee Entertainment, where time permitted, this will be considered a termination of the contract, to which, the normal cancellation terms and conditions of the contract still apply

14 The engager/ client is required to provide the following:

-A safe, dry performance environment with appropriate heating or cooling. There must be adequate space for the Artist to perform, ideally 9sqm or more. If performing outside within direct sunlight during the hours of 10am till 3pm for longer than 30 minutes, adequate shade/shelter must be provided. See 14.1 for our Rain Policy

In the event of rain or showers during an outdoor performance, the Artist/s will cease performing immediately to ensure safety and protect their equipment from electrical hazards. Performances will resume once the rain has stopped and it is safe to do so

2. Assessment and Equipment Safety

If the rain or showers are substantial and the equipment becomes wet, the performance may need to be terminated entirely. The artist will assess the condition of the equipment, ensuring it is properly dried and safe before reconnecting it to the power source

3. Wet Performance Space

If the performance space becomes wet during rain or showers, the artist will not reconnect to the power source due to the high risk of electrocution. The safety of all involved is the priority

4. Cancellation Due to Rain

In the event that substantial rain or showers cause the performance to cease, no compensation or refunds will be provided

5. Wet Weather Contingency Plan

It is essential to have a Wet Weather Contingency Plan in place. This plan should include a fully dry alternative location and ensure that all cables are elevated and protected from getting wet

14.2 Fire Pits/ Open Fires

If you’re planning on having a fire pit at your event, your artist performance location must not be near the fire - the further away, the better. This location may need to be flexible, should the wind be blowing in a certain direction

The reason for this is the smoke causes your artist/s voices to dry out making it very difficult for them to perform. Even more seriously, it can cause permanent vocal cord damage or impact their ability to perform for weeks

Please liaise with your McGee Producer should you wish to have a fire pit at your event

FURTHER NOTES ON RESCHEDULING:

We ask when postponing your original wedding date 45 days or less prior, that you still pay your final invoice as per the original due date. The full amount you pay is held as 100% credit. The reason for this is we actually pay your artist small portion of their fee so that they are still able to pay living expenses given they have now lost income on that date. When it comes time to performing your new wedding date, they then receive the balance. We are doing this as we’ve found it’s the best way to ensure the artist isn’t left without any income and it doesn’t penalise you as the client in anyway

FREE HOLIDAY PROMO

-You'll receive a Holiday Gift Voucher for a 3 NIGHTS LUXURY HOTEL OR RESORT STAY once McGee has received your initial 25% deposit/ booking fee. If you have paid via credit card, McGee will send the voucher once payment has cleared. The voucher will be sent via email

-If you cancel your booking with McGee [for whatever reason] you will keep your Holiday Gift Voucher, however, a $100 + GST holiday cancellation fee is applicable, in addition to any normal cancellation fees that pertains to your booking. You can view our full terms & conditions here

-The Holiday Gift Voucher is only available on The All Inclusive Reception Package [6-hours] or The Complete Wedding Entertainment Package [8-hours] or any other wedding package 6 hours or more on Thursday to Sunday rates. It can be booked for any Artist and any arrangement from solo through to 8-piece+

-To enjoy the complimentary accommodation, you are required to pay the nightly fees & taxes per room for that destination, which are from AUD$37.00 per night. For example, if you were to stay at a Gold Coast resort for 3 nights & the nightly “fees & taxes” were $37.00, you’d pay $37.00 x 3 nights = AUD$111.00. Keep in mind that the rack rate for the resort is likely to be $200 to $300 per night, depending upon the season – so 3 nights might normally be valued at AUD$600 - $1,000 plus fees & taxes. The fees & taxes are a hospitality industry standard & entail, but are not limited to – federal services tax based on the full rack rate of the accommodation, local tourism & bed taxes, travel agency fees, local or municipal taxes etc. However, once you have paid this, McGee will reimburse you up to $100 AUD for this expense via bank transfer. A reimbursement form will be sent through to you at the time McGee sends your voucher. You will need to show your bank transaction as proof that this was paid. Please allow 10 working days for your reimbursement to be processed back into your bank account once you have submitted the form back to McGee

-There are NO timeshare presentations required to use this vacation voucher or any other hoops you'll need to jump through to redeem

-There are understandably “some peak vacation periods” where the hotels & resorts are traditionally full or near-full – so they won’t have rooms available or perhaps there may be a modest surcharge (eg: School Holidays)

-The user must reside at least 160 kilometres away from the destination resort of choice

-Travel to & from your chosen hotel or resort is not included

-The incentive is valid for a reservation request offering Luxurious Resort/Hotel Accommodations in your choice of destinations provided by RedeemVacations.com. Most rooms are for 2 to 4 occupants based on room type and availability and at least one occupant must be at least 21 years of age. So in most hotels, you can enjoy “a family vacation.” Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee that ALL hotels will cater for children. "Some" hotels choose not to, its a case of selecting hotels or resorts that suit your circumstances.The main reservation holder must also have a Major Credit or a Bank Debit Card with a Visa or Mastercard logo, plus a valid government-issued ID to check-in

-The recipient of this incentive will receive luxury hotel accommodation room rate free of charge, which retail is valued at up to AUD $350 per night. However, the recipient is responsible for all other expenses, including but not limited to: airfare, transfers, food & beverages, gratuities, resort fees if applicable and any other personal or miscellaneous expenses. If applicable, the resort fees will be disclosed when choosing a hotel and preferred travel dates. (Resort fees cover items like WiFi Internet Access, Local Calls, & Resort amenities.)

-Once you do this, you’ll receive an email from Redeem Vacations, notifying you of the need to “activate” your voucher by paying the booking & service fees within 7 days

-Travel can be completed within 18 months after activation. So you can select your hotel & travel at any time within 18 months -it's just the destination you need to choose upfront (eg: Sydney). Once you’ve chosen your “destination” & paid your Booking & Service Fees, you cannot change your destination

-All reservations require a minimum of 30 days advance notice to book. Reservations are based on availability and understandably rooms are less likely to be available at peak vacation periods like Easter, Christmas & School Holidays. Check-in is available 7 days a week. Most resorts won’t have availabilities during the busy Christmas & school holiday periods – in other words, they don’t have an empty rooms to give away. In the case of the 3 Night Holidays, it’s recommended that people choose nights between Sunday - Thursday – if one wants to include a “peak night” like Friday & Saturday, there’s a modest surcharge as determined by the hotel which can range from AUD $40 - AUD $70 per night. Why? Because Fridays & Saturdays are busy days & therefore the resorts don’t have many empty rooms available

-Cancellations after dates are confirmed will result in forfeiture of the activation fees. (The inventory used for these rooms are not as flexible as booking at regular retail rack rates, so once confirmed, changes will not be allowed and cancellations or no-shows will result in forfeiture of fees paid)

-This incentive has no cash surrender value, void if discontinued and where prohibited by law.The terms of this offer are subject to change without notice. RedeemVacations.com reserves the right to offer other hotels with equal or similar value with incentive holder approval if required due to availability
