FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While it may seem my prices are a bit complicated, there are really only a few things that affect the structure: size of the wedding, date, time, location. Bigger weddings, in-season weddings, peak times, and distance I travel all affect my bottom line, so it affects the cost of the services I provide.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Does reading wedding magazines and websites count? I think so! I stay on top of wedding trends, and I'm always researching new vows, readings, and ceremonies from all cultures and religions to help make ceremonies meaningful. I'm also a Licensed Associate Counselor in NJ, so I can offer pre-marital counseling. I have worked in the mental health field for 13 years, and have helped many couples and families.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After thirteen years in the counseling business, working with teens and families during crises, I realized that I was burning out. I sat down and thought about what steps to take next, and who I want to be. Back when I married my husband, our officiant told me she thought I'd be a wonderful officiant myself. It's been in the back of my mind ever since, and the timing was right, so I took a leap of faith, and here I am! I'm so excited by every part of weddings and marriages!
