FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base fee is $75, and is based on distance I need to travel, and not based on time. My fees are a great deal lower then most ministers and officiants, and all fees are accepting as a donation.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I get a positive response from the initial quote, I provide my phone and request a phone call to discuss details. After the phone call, if the couple chooses to hire me, we schedule a face-to-face meeting with the couple, where details of the ceremony are discussed in detail, and I show the couple sample scripts. After the meeting, I get to work. After I complete the script, I submit it to the couple for approval. If I am hired less then 2 weeks before the ceremony, most of this normal process won't be possible. In this case, I would discuss with the couple over the phone ceremony details, and get an idea of what they wish to be expressed for the ceremony.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended college for religion, and listened to advice from ministers and officiants. However, neither of these worked well, and I quickly discovered that relying on God for the words is the best approach.
