Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. You need to feel comfortable with the person who will be marrying you. You are entrusting that person with your dreams, hopes and heart on the day of your wedding and you want to make sure that the ceremony is both meaningful and reflective of who you are. Trust and good communication is very important as is that "we clicked" feeling. Look for a personable, well organized, professional officiant who is honest, well spoken, well dressed and who follows through on all promises.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have a passion for what I do. I honor and respect all people regardless of their ethnicity, religious background, sexual orientation, disability or economic status. Every couple I meet have a unique love story that makes them who they are as individuals and as a couple. I incorporate this along with their values and beliefs to create personalized and meaningful ceremonies.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. Meeting the couples, listening to their stories and creating dream ceremonies for them. This energizes me!
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. The question most often asked is: Am I available on the date they are looking to get married? Many of them have already looked at my website and are anxious to meet with me to discuss their plans. After checking my calendar I am able to respond to them. Hopefully the answer is always yes; however, due to the demand for my services and couples booking me earlier and earlier there are times when I cannot help them. They also want to make sure that there is a back-up officiant who would be available if an emergency were to arise on the day of their wedding. I do have other officiants whom I can call upon should this be necessary.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. That I genuinely care about them and want only the best for them. I am a professional person who delivers a quality product at a very affordable price.
Q. Write your own question and answer it.
A. What incentives do you offer couples?
I offer a 15% discount for active military.
I am keeping my fees for 2011, at the same rate as were my 2010 fees.
