Do you offer or require a pre-wedding consultation? If so, is there a fee for this?
I am happy to meet with you, at no cost or obligation, to see if we are “click". This meeting, usually held at a mutually-convenient location, generally lasts 30 minutes as we ask each other questions.
If we choose you to perform our ceremony, do you require a fee to hold our date?
Yes, when you hire me, we will meet to go over the details of your customized ceremony. At that time I ask that you sign the Minister’s Contract and pay a 50% non-refundable deposit. The balance of the fee is due two weeks prior to the ceremony.
What is included in your services, and what do you charge?
According to your needs and desires, I prepare a custom ceremony, conduct the rehearsal, perform the ceremony, and file your marriage license. My fee varies, depending upon the location and other specifics of your wedding.
When will you arrive before the ceremony?
45 minutes to 1 hour before the ceremony, unless I’m requested earlier. Who needs panic attacks on their wedding day?
Can we vary the traditional choreography of the wedding?
Oh yes! This day is all about you, we can tailor the ceremony to fit your wishes.
Will you work with our other wedding professionals?
Absolutely!
Can we have the wedding ceremony in a place other than the church?
Weddings aren’t about churches, but about the couple and the love they share. I will go wherever you need me to go to perform the ceremony, within reason.
Can our friends and family participate in our ceremony?
Yes, if that’s what you wish. This is your day; I want your ceremony to be meaningful and memorable.
Will you honor our values and spiritual beliefs and help us to express them?
Most certainly! Whatever your method of worship, I will respect it. I will do everything that I can to help incorporate your beliefs into your ceremony.
