Bill was fantastic as our officiant for our wedding. He's a very down to earth and personable fellow and managed to work in my proposal anecdote into his readings. He was very organized and gave us multiple examples we could use for select readings. He even had non-religious choices that we ended up selecting. Probably the best part of working with him is I felt he gave a nudge in the right direction for my wife to reconnect with her dad. He mentioned the ceremony can be a "healing moment". And healing it did! Thank you Bill! Mike and Kristy

Bill is fantastic! He officiated our wedding in Feb 2022, but began working with us several months beforehand to help us craft a customized ceremony. He is full of knowledge on the marriage process including what to expect regarding the marriage licenses and timelines. Thank you so much Bill for your support pre-wedding and for the amazing job you did on our special day. 10/10 would recommend! :)

Bill was amazing. He saved our wedding after we were left without an officiant. Bill made the transition so easy and smooth. His humor and made our ceremony lighthearted and special.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing will vary a bit. The range is $295-450. Rehearsal is the only possible optional add on at $125-175. Discounts may apply for shorter travel distances and other factors. Don’t be afraid to ask.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After you’ve reached out to me, I arrange a phone consultation to determine if I’m a good match for you. When you are ready to book, I send you a simple contract, including first payment and balance instructions. Once contracted, we begin working together to create your ceremony template, then fine tune it. I help you with vows if you need help, and talk about any other parts of your celebration to which I might offer my years of experience. Then we celebrate your marriage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been involved with weddings in one way or another since 1973, as entertainment and then as officiant, including my own marriage of over 40 years now.
