FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I start from a base price of $400, and adjust to offset travel expenses depending on the location of the ceremony. Please be mindful that this pricing is a reflection of the value of my time which includes travel, preparatory conversations, writing, in addition to the ceremony itself. I give myself fully to my couples. But please note, my goal is to make things as affordable as possible for you.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With each couple, I'm happy to engage in a free consultation/conversation where you can tell me a little about yourselves, the wedding, and what you're looking for in the service. We'll work together to determine if this is the best fit and answer any logistical questions you may have. If we decide to move forward together, I'll ask some overview questions that will help us to have a shared understanding of the tone and sequence of the ceremony. I'll provide each of you with a questionnaire to fill out independently of one another, as well, as a way to more fully understand you as a couple and tell your story in a way that captures your energy and connection. I want this to be reflective of your love and your journey! After these pieces are complete, I will script a custom ceremony for you and your partner and provide a draft. It is very much a draft and I'm not precious about my words! Your satisfaction and a ceremony that is memorable and heartfelt is the true north and our aim. I'm happy to accommodate any edits or new direction you request.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a registered wedding officiant with New York State and an ordained Minister in the Universal Life Church.
