Introduction

As a licensed minister I have done weddings in multiple places and in several "church" settings, I sit down with the couple ahead of time so that the couple makes the decisions so they know exactly what is going to happen. I really enjoy when the couple have the perfect (for them) wedding ceremony that they want.

Denise officiated my wedding and she was amazing! Very professional, super personable, and overall a kind soul who made my wedding day feel that much more special! She was easy to communicate with before the big day and made sure the ceremony would be exactly as we wanted it. She arrived early and chatted with my family and friends, by the time wedding time came she felt like an old friend!

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal • Officiant does not need to be present at rehearsal

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Normally $150 unless there is long travel times or extras such as costumes
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most of the time I just talk to people over the phone, find out what they want, write their ceremony, and email it to them. In some cases, I need to meet with a couple at a local coffee shop to get to know them better
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was becoming a pastor and a couple came in that wanted something unusual, in that case costumes, and our senior pastor asked if I wanted to talk to the wedding couple. I did and loved the experience!
