FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of my fees can be found on my site at Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants. For 2022, they range from $295 for a small elopement up to $495 for a custom-written ceremony and consultations. In comparison to other professional wedding officiants with equal experience, I am in about the mid-range of fees for officiants with my level of experience and reviews (over200, 5-star reviews on another platform). I also offer helpful advice as a planner.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When you decide to hire me to officiate your wedding or renewal, my goal is to work together with you to craft the perfect ceremony. If you chose one of my pre-written, beautiful ceremonies, our communication will be by phone, email and Skype. If you chose one of my custom written ceremonies, we will also meet in person to discuss your wedding in great detail. I am all about no stress and doing my very best to tell your love story.
