About
Couples often tell me how much I go above and beyond to ensure their ceremony feels truly personal and exactly the way they imagined.
As an experienced wedding officiant with over 12 years in business, I keep my services straightforward and affordable. My base fee of $180 includes custom-written vows, and travel up to 25 miles. Additional options are available for extra travel, in-person meetings, and attending your rehearsal.
I genuinely love officiating weddings and feel honored to be part of such an important moment. My goal is to create a warm, meaningful ceremony that reflects your unique relationship. If that sounds like the experience you want, I’d be happy to talk about your plans.

Right from the very beginning of the consultation process, Bob replied as soon as he could, no matter how many times I emailed him with hundreds of questions and even revision. He worked and rewrote till he captured what were looking for. Thank you so much for a memorable wedding ceremony, Bob!!!

I absolutely loved Bob as our weddingofficiant. Everything went great. Bob was very attentive throughout the whole process of preparation. He was also very flexible as to our couple needs and wishes. Bob is the weddingofficiant you can definitely rely on as he arrived to the place chosen for wedding ceremony 20 min before the actual arranged time. There’s nothing I would change if I go back to plan our wedding ceremony with Bob again. I would highly recommend him as the weddingofficiant for the ceremony to my friends and just simply everyone.

We could not ask for more on our special . From the start Bob was very attentive, and the ceremony that he put together for us made our day even special! We recommend Bob to everyone that is looking for an officiant. He is professional and prompt and most of all a really nice guy! He truly made our wedding day a special one!!

Thank you so much Ana and Anthony. For the sake of others reviewing feedback, I will be completely transparent. This was the one wedding for which I was late. I gave myself 45 minutes extra time to get there, but weather and traffic just would not cooperate. I was so glad that I was still able to provide a ceremony that made them happy. Your patience was much appreciated. You are a wonderful couple and I wish you all the best.

He did a fantastic ceremony and was just has we wanted. He is pleasant, kind and very professional. It was a outdoor wedding and the heat was against us. But you would never know it was bothering him and he continued his ceremony.. I would highly recommend him for anyone’s ceremony.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally ask for $200 to develop and perform a custom ceremony. Additional charges may apply for a rehearsal or exceptional travel expense, but I strive to be very affordable. Couples generally have enough other expenses, and this is not my primary income source. I love performing wedding ceremonies, so I keep my part of the overall costs low.
I can offer other services, such as wedding planning. I have experience in creating flowers, baking wedding cakes, catering, so I can be a valuable, affordable resource for a couple who seek assistance in planning their special day.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask the couple to complete a short survey to collect the basic information that I need to create a custom ceremony for the couple. When it is ready, the couple have an opportunity to review and request revisions, until it meets with their satisfaction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have performed many wedding ceremonies. I am an ordained minister, but am not associated with any specific religious organization. I am comfortable performing a wide-variety of ceremonies from a traditional Christian to a spiritual to a non-religious, civil ceremony.
