FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee is $175. The fee covers all consultations, wedding ceremony, mileage, and a $75.00 non-refundable booking fee that is due when I am hired. The date is not confirmed until this deposit is received. The balance is due the day of the wedding. If there is a rehearsal, there is an additional fee of $50. All fees may be paid for by Square Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, money order, check or cash.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meeting in person is preferred, but due to covid-19 and/or distance the consultation(s) can be done by phone, Zoom or Skype. I get to know something about the couple and their wishes for the ceremony. A sample script for the ceremony is available to the couple if they need some help deciding how to shape the ceremony. I work with the couple, and the wedding coordinator, if they have one, to make sure the ceremony includes the vows and other elements that are important to them.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Master of Divinity, post-graduate education in pastoral care, and experience in conducting weddings. Ordained June 30, 1996.
