FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For $400, you get comprehensive wedding services which cover ceremony planning, officiating the ceremony, and handling the signing and filing of the marriage license. There may be an additional cost involved if the location is not accessible by transit. This however does not include the rehearsal. If you wish for me to attend the rehearsal, there is an additional charge of $150. Most wedding coordinators run the rehearsal. $95 per 1hr session for premarital counseling
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you reach out to me, we'll arrange a complimentary consultation to connect and delve into your beautiful love story. If you decide to move forward with me as your officiant, I kindly request a 50% deposit to secure your wedding date on my calendar. During this time, you'll receive various ceremony templates and optional questionnaires for your friends and family. After reviewing the templates, we'll collaborate to design a personalized ceremony that reflects your unique journey together. I'll also incorporate your story and any optional content provided by your loved ones. The remaining 50% of the fee is due the week before your wedding day. As the date approaches, we'll have a final check-in to solidify any remaining details. On the day of your wedding, I'll take care of signing the marriage license and ensure it's promptly filed with the county clerk's office.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry in 2013, followed by a Masters of Divinity in Pastoral Ministry from Northwestern University in May 2019. Throughout the past decade, I've had the privilege of serving as a pastor in several churches. During this time, I've officiated more than 50 weddings, adding a depth of experience and insight to my pastoral journey.
