Essential information and frequently asked questions

I require a non-refundable deposit to secure all bookings. This can be paid via several discreet methods depending on your location.

The deposit is to be paid within one hour of mutually agreeing upon a meeting time. The booking time isn’t held until the deposit has been paid.

In Sydney - if you need to reschedule with at least 48 hours notice your deposit can be transferred to a future booking within the next 3 months. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice you forfeit the deposit and I require 50% of the total booking fee (minus the deposit).

When touring - If you need to reschedule with at leat 7 days notice your deposit can be transferred to another time within the same tour, if we cannot find a suitable time or you need to cancel 50% of the total booking fee is required (minus the deposit). If you need to cancel within 72 hours the full fee is required.

Once your booking is confirmed it cannot be changed to a booking of lesser value.

In the rare occurrence that I need to cancel I will refund your deposit.

Payment is to be made in cash within 5 minutes of meeting. If we’re meeting in public please have it ready in a small gift bag or book. I accept electronic payments if discussed in advance and the payment has cleared before you arrive.

Screening is required for bookings taking place outside of Australia and within South Australia. Everywhere else is at my discretion. Your information will be handled only by me and with the utmost discretion at all times, it is required for my safety. I have a separate encrypted email address it can be sent to if you prefer.

I require either:

Your established LinkedIn profile information complete with a profile photo and verification that it belongs to you.

Or

References from two established providers (with their own websites and social media presence) that you’ve met in the last 12 months. Please confirm that they’re willing to provide this for you prior to sharing they’re info.

Or

A photo of your government issued photo ID, this will require extra steps to ensure the ID is authentic.

Any attempt to evade screening will result in my terminating our communication.

Discretion goes both ways. I do not allow reviews on adult review forums. I consider the sharing of the intimate details of our time together to be a serious breach of my privacy and ask that if you partake in these forums in any way please respect my right to choose my clients and do not attempt to book time with me.

I welcome and appreciate tasteful testimonials (sans intimate/private/personal details) via my paid advertising or my website.

I don’t discriminate against people based on ethnicity, race, religion, appearance, ability or age. one of the things I love most about my profession is the opportunity to meet people from different walks of life. The things that matter most to me are kindness and respect.

I’m happy to provide two references within twelve months of our meeting. A $100 fee for my time is required per reference. Please always reach out to me before providing my details - if I receive a request without prior notice from you I will ignore it for your privacy.

My wish list can be found at marigold.com/ellieaymes your’e also welcome to bring any items from this wish list to our date. I also have a Throne list if you prefer, the link is available upon request.

I thrive in a one-on-one environment, I don’t offer couples or doubles meetings.
