Services and Payments

The First Meeting: I schedule an initial meeting of 30 minutes so that both of you can meet me, ask questions and decide if I am the right person to accompany you on this momentous journey towards your wedding ceremony. If you feel comfortable with my approach, I will give you a packet of materials via email that includes a letter of agreement, a ceremony template to get you started with your brainstorming, and other readings we may have discussed. If you want to secure your date, send the contract back with a deposit and we'll start the process of creating the ceremony.

After you have returned the signed letter with the appropriate deposit,or used paypal to secure your deposit, we will brainstorm either over email, phone, or another meeting in person so I can learn about you and your vision for the ceremony. Together we create a general outline and rough draft for the ceremony and part with homework for everyone - readings to find, vows to write, etc... I will email you my notes from this meeting and you respond with the added details. We work in this way until the ceremony feels complete. 

The Ceremony and After: All ceremonies are done in-person. I can officiate at weddings  in a wide variety of settings, and anywhere in the 50 states.  After the ceremony, I complete the official marriage license documentation and return the appropriate forms to the county clerk, keeping a record for my files and sending you a xerox copy for your files. Official copies of the license, if needed, must be purchased (for a nominal fee) from the county clerk. I can provide an elegant Certificate of Union for Commitment Ceremonies for no additional charge. 
 

  • Standard Wedding Package

    This is the most commonly requested service. It includes the creation of the ceremony, finalizing the order of service with cue-to-cue directions, a walk-through of the ceremony one hour before the real event, officiating at the ceremony, and doing the follow-up paperwork. It generally includes at least two meetings, but may have more of fewer depending on complexity of the ceremony and the couple's needs.
    • $350.00

  • Wedding & Rehearsal Package

    Sometimes there are strong reasons why the minister's presence might be required on a day preceding the actual ceremony for the traditional wedding rehearsal and dinner. If the two families are coming from long distances and have not actually met each other, it may be feel very comforting to have someone there who knows the couple and can smooth the transition. If the wedding itself is highly choreographed with lots of players -- half a dozen attendants on each side, flower girls, ring bearers, props to move, people to place, light and sound cues, etc. - it may be advisable to have a thorough rehearsal to raise everyone's comfort level. This package includes everything in the Standard package with the addition of the minister's attendance at the rehearsal.
    • $400.00

  • ELOPEMENT SPECIAL

    For couples doing smaller, elopements at a hotel, restaurant, park or lakefront I offer my $250 special on Fridays and Saturday mornings. Call to see if your date is available.
    • $250.00

  • Ceremony Creation Only

    There may be couples who just want help in creating the ceremony of their dreams, but don't need an officiant. Perhaps a friend or a family member will be presiding at the ceremony, or maybe you want to do a ceremony-on-location on a romantic island, but you want to retain control over what is actually said and done during the service. This option gives you the one-and-a-half hour meeting with all necessary email follow-up to produce a complete, personalized ceremony script for you to take with you. [This can be done over the phone and via email if distance is a barrier.]
     
    A deposit in the amount of one-half of the total fee will secure my services for your date. I will hold dates on a tentative basis until you've had a chance to make the initial meeting and decide if you want to use my services.
    • $125.00

  • Retainer/Final Payment for Wedding

    You have the option of paying in portions, a retainer when we sign the contract, and the final payment before your wedding
    • $175.00
There will be times when I offer a discount, or a special, a referral discount, etc. Please ask me for details!. You never know! It might just be your lucky day!

This page should spell out everything for you. Should you have any questions please email me, or call. I do have occasional specials, so feel free to ask!

I look forward to helping you create your Wedding day!
