FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have one price - $800. My prices reflects my professional education, advanced specialized training and years of experience. I am the real deal! I will help you create your own personalized ceremony according to your preferences. I will officiate a rehearsal if you wish. I will provide pastoral care and counseling for you and your wedding party and your family when and if needed as it relates to the wedding. I will officiate your ceremony with grace and style. I will sign and mail your marriage certificate. If you so wish, I will lead you through the Prepare-Enrich marriage preparation program.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You’ve already taken the most important step in the journey toward the wedding ceremony of your dreams by exploring my ministry. If you are interested in booking me or learning more, just contact me via Thumbtack. The next step is for us to have an initial conversation, either in person or via video chat. During that conversation, we’ll explore if I am the right wedding officiant for you (I probably am). I’ll ask to hear your love story and what you are wanting for your wedding ceremony. I’ll tell you about how I work to craft ceremonies and answer questions about the process. Should you want to make a booking official after that conversation (and I think you will), we will talk dates and timelines. We’ll schedule a 2nd time to meet either in person or via video chat. The day of the wedding (and the rehearsal too, if you have one), you will be happy you decided to have an experienced minister as your wedding officiant. I will not only be professional and organized, but pastoral. I will coordinate all aspects of the ceremony with musicians and wedding planners. If needed I will reign in rowdy attendants or calm anxious parents. After the ceremony I will make sure your marriage license is filled out correctly, sign it and mail it to the town or city clerk’s office for you so you’ll be legally wed.
