Barb did an amazing job with our wedding at the mast farm inn. She was very responsive and was willing to meet multiple times before the big day including the rehearsal which helped iron out all the little details. We really customized our ceremony and she was very helpful answering questions of how things are normally done and making suggestions while also being very positive and ensuring that we can do whatever we want, it’s our day! Her and her husband are very kind and sweet. She was very clear and it was obvious she had gone over our guideline. There were no awkward pauses, everything was very smooth. Bard did a great job!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 21 - 50 guests • I'm flexible • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Barb was fantastic! We were supposed to have an outside ceremony but rain on the wedding day had other plans. Barb helped keep everyone calm as last minute we changed our entire plan. Her wonderful husband also came and helped wherever it was needed, he even snapped some photos for us! We are so thankful! Thank you Barb @ Say I Do!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My price starts at $190. If there is a rehearsal that I should attend that is $50. I aim to fit into your budget. If it is a small wedding I am happy to adjust my price to fit into your budget. Depending on the location I may add something for my travel.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work with the couple by phone, email or in person. I want to know how they met and what kind of wedding ceremony they want. I have plenty of sample wedding ceremonies to share with them. They can write their own vows or use standard ones. If there are other vendors I will work with them before the wedding to make sure we are coordinated. I can perform a religious ceremony or a non religious ceremony. I work inside and outside at various wedding venues, large or small.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am credentailed with American Marriage Ministries and have a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have been a wedding officiant for over 100 weddings in Florida, Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
