What do you charge for your services?
My cost
for any ceremony is $200. This price does include a meeting between us to discuss the details of your ceremony,
a rehearsal and the wedding day itself. With the cost of travel as it is, there may be a slight increase in price due
to the location of your wedding. Should you wish to inquire further, please use the form available on the Interested?
page and include the ceremony location in your question.
Do you charge extra for adding rituals?
I do not. You may have
as many rituals as you like (sand ceremony, Handfasting, etc.) involved in your ceremony. There is never an extra cost
for this.
Do you allow photographs to be
taken during the ceremony?
Most definitely. I have known too many couples who have
few to no pictures of their wedding because the officiant didn't allow photography during the ceremony. This is your
wedding, so have what you like. Have all the pictures taken you want!
Can we write our own ceremony if we want?
You may write to your hearts content. Should you need advice, my outlines are
only an e-mail away. Once your ceremony is the way you want it, simply send me a copy and I will go over it and
shine it up for you.
What if we want to write our own vows?
Of
course, that's perfectly fine. I think personalized vows are more meaningful in the long run. Send me a
copy of them, and I will have them printed on card stock for you both to read from during the ceremony (I do return the cards
for you to keep as a momento). Even if you decide to memorize them, send me a copy anyway. That way you have a
back-up, just in case. We want to use one of the rituals mentioned on your site.
Can you help us find what we would need?
Absolutely. Just let me know which ritual you would like to
use and which items you need help finding. I can recommend vendors with great quality wedding accessories.
Is
there a particular religion that you prefer to work with?
Not at all. I am open to all types
of worship and devotion. I do try to keep myself knowledgable of the most widely followed religions and their traditional
marriage ceremonies. As a rather open person, I can acclimate myself to any particular religion's order of service.
You need only tell me which, if any, religion(s) you follow and I can work with you on an appropriate ceremony.
