Introduction: Good day to you and I hope you are staying healthy in these troubling times! I've been getting this question alot lately, "do I provide marriage licenses ". The answer is no. You have have to get it thru your local courthouse or a notary that does that. You can apply online at your county courthouse and make your appt to pick it up. That is what you'll bring for me to sign after the ceremony and yes I am available to officiate your ceremony at a location of your choice. The ceremony fee is anywhere from $300 to $400 depending on location. If you want photography added in, then what I provide is a beautiful ceremony, signing & mailing your license & around 100 to 200 pictures (or more, depending on how many hrs you need) for fully edited, digital download photos ready for print. The fee is $300 for photographer for 1 hr. Additional photographer hrs are at$100/hr. I have several officiants around the southern California area so I'm sure I can accommodate you. I also have bilingual officiants on staff as well. Let me know if you'd like to chat and get more information! Wendy Rieley The Perfect Union Minister & Photographer

Very nice lady. She was accommodating to our request. Will recommend and refer Wendy for our local friends and family weddings. Told her we couldn’t afford to do photos, but she took some anyway. She is very sweet.

Hands down the most kind, hilarious, and thoughtful minister I could have found. She was incredibly helpful and a joy to have been a huge part of my wedding. Thank you so much for all your caring and thoughtfulness. I appreciate you so much for everything you’ve done for me. I will recommend you to EVERYONE I come across

If you want peace of mind book with a different company. The officiant was quick on responding to my request. Unfortunately she was not available for my wedding event but referred me to someone else that was available. The person she referred showed up on time, however she is bad at responding to text messages/emails. I've been asking her to confirm my marriage documents got mailed to be recorded with the county. After multiple text messages and emails, i have not received a response.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be competitive with the pricing of my services however I do like to make sure that you get the most value for your dollar! There is a travel fee outside a 100 mile radius from my address so when I send you a quote, it includes the travel fee!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do like to get a feel for the bride and groom by talking with them about their ceremony by giving them samples to look over and then writing a ceremony for them to approve which they will get to have as a keepsake.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Well whenever I run into something different I do lots of research as to how the ceremony should proceed and how the bride and groom want it, so I would say that all my Education and Training is by experience!
