About
I love seeing the faces of my couples just as I am about to pronounce them married. The joy and love are what weddings are all about. The creative process of personalizing your ceremony is priceless to me. Speaking of price, there are many officiants who are less expensive. This is the most important day of your life so talk to a few different officiants in different price ranges to make sure you have a good fit with the person who marries you. I will spend time with you so I can give you a personal and meaningful ceremony. You’ll have memories of this day for the rest of your life and the person who officiates your ceremony will be in many of your photos. My fee ranges from $375 to $450 depending on your location. This is YOUR wedding and you should have nothing but happiness on your day. I hope we have a chance to talk.

Joann was amazing! She personalized this experience for us more than we could have imagined. We eloped so she made this the most special it could be. She is punctual, thorough, and personable! I can’t recommend Joann enough for making your big day special.

Joanne was extremely accommodating. Originally my fiancé and I already had an officiant but she disappeared 2 days before our ceremony. Needless to say, it was very stressful not having an officiant with less than 36 hours to say "I do". When we found Joanne, we met briefly and explained our situation and she gave us the peace of mind that she would make sure that everything would go smoothly. She put together the most beautiful words for our ceremony. She was quick to answer emails when we had questions, she was also punctual and just very professional, nice and genuine. Thank you Joanne for coming to our rescue, From Sulaiman and Maria <3

Joanne did an amazing job being the officiant at my wedding! She was early, supportive, prepared and focused at our wedding. She was quick to respond to emails in planning before the wedding. She was so organized and provided us with the perfect wording in what she said at our ceremony! I highly recommend her! I never had a doubt about her through out the planning and during the wedding!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee is $375 - $450 depending on your location. That is all inclusive of meeting the couple, writing their ceremony, going to the rehearsal, the wedding and filing their marriage license. Fee is payable by cash or check at the rehearsal or ceremony. There are no additional charges or surprises. Everything is included. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to hold your date.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first meeting is a free consultation to get to know each other. Once the couple decides that they want me to officiate their wedding, I ask a lot of questions so I can write a ceremony based on the information they have given me. We continue to tweak the ceremony by phone, email or in person to make sure the ceremony comes from their heart and reflects their lifestyle. We talk again a month prior to the wedding to review the ceremony make any changes, etc. I will be at the rehearsal if needed and of course the ceremony and will be available by phone or email throughout the entire process to answer any questions or concerns that may come up. This is YOUR wedding. I want you to be comfortable with me and in this process. Don't hesitate to ask any question that comes to mind. I am available to you from the time you hire me to your wedding. I will also file your marriage license via certified mail and let you know when I get the return receipt. I also make a copy of your license just in case you need it before you receive your certified copy from the county.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church. I have performed many weddings and I care very much about my couples.
