FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I specialize in micro weddings and elopements, offering simple, meaningful ceremonies without the stress of large event pricing. Elopements and micro weddings start at $250 and include: • A personalized ceremony script • Officiating the ceremony • Filing the marriage license • Travel within 20 miles of Stockbridge Additional travel outside my standard service area may include a small mileage fee. Optional add-ons such as customized vow assistance or rehearsal attendance are available for an additional fee. A non-refundable retainer secures your date, with the remaining balance due prior to the ceremony. I also offer weekday and short-notice elopement options when available.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you reach out, I respond promptly to confirm availability and learn a little about your vision, guest count, and ceremony location. If we’re a good fit: We discuss the type of ceremony (elopement or micro wedding up to 50 guests). I provide a clear quote and service details. A retainer secures your date. After booking: • I send a ceremony outline and personalization questionnaire. • We finalize wording, vows (if requested), and timeline. • I confirm logistics and arrival details a few days before your ceremony. On the wedding day, I arrive early, perform your ceremony, properly complete and sign your marriage license, and handle return instructions as discussed. My goal is to make the process simple, organized, and stress-free from start to finish.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained wedding officiant, trained in performing both civil and personalized ceremonies, including micro weddings and elopements. I have completed Georgia approved/recognized officiant training, which includes legal requirements for signing and filing marriage licenses in Georgia. In addition, I have experience guiding couples through ceremony planning, crafting meaningful vows, and creating a stress-free, memorable experience for weddings of all sizes.
