About

As the name implies, this is YOUR wedding. We will help you do it YOUR way. We will meet with you and go over how YOU want the service. Then We will have you review the service to make sure it is the WAY YOU WANT IT. This is YOUR big day. It should be YOUR WAY. This is a happy time. We really like helping brides and grooms, brides and brides, or grooms and grooms, make their wedding day the one they want. It is great to see the couples smiling, laughing, crying and whispering, during the ceremony. And great news! YourWedding, YourWay has "expanded" our staff. Mike Smela and Cindy Karagosian, both ULC ordained ministers, are now available to officiate your ceremony. They both have the same philosophy I have of making sure your ceremony is personable and what YOU want. Hopefully, one of us will be available to be part of your special day. The fee for our consult meeting and the ceremony will range between $275 and $300, depending on the location of the venue for the ceremony.

My husband & I were very pleased with our officiate. He did a wonderful job. He met with us before hand. Our ceremony was exactly the way we wanted it. We only found this officiant a week & a half before the ceremony. He went over some ceremonial ideas with us & made our dream ceremony come true. Thank you so very much to Your Wedding, Your Way!

Thanks Brian and Kyle. It was a pleasure officiating your ceremony. Your children made it complete with the addition of the Sand Ceremony. I am glad everything went well. Best of you to you

We were very happy to have Carl officiate our wedding. He was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job. I made some last minute changes to the script, which didn’t seem to phase him one bit. The ceremony was perfect. It’s easy to tell that he is a very kind and caring man who loves what he does. Thank you Carl!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The cost of the ceremony will be $275-$300, depending on the location of the venue. This include all pre meetings and officiating at the wedding. If needed at the rehearsal, there is an additional charge of $35 to $50. I like to meet with the couple prior to the date to go over what type of ceremony you would want and offer suggestions and options. At that meeting, a deposit of $100 is required to hold the date of the ceremony.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with the clients at least once before the ceremony. This helps me get a feel for them and they get a feel for me. Can help them have an organized ceremony if they need help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an on line ordination with the Universal Life Church. Was on line ordained in 2004
