FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will offer an officiant estimate based on the following: preliminary meetings, anticipated preparatory work, ceremony draft creation, rehearsal attendance and leadership, wedding officiating, travel distance and time. I will ask for a non-refundable $50 deposit when we agree to contract terms. The balance can be paid at rehearsal or wedding service.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have some initial phone text contact followed by a preliminary phone call with potential client first. Then I will suggest one or two preparatory meetings in person. I will seek to determine what it is you truly envision from me and in your service. I will continue to communicate with you up to the date of rehearsal/ceremony, staying in touch with you about possible changes or modifications. Then on the date of your ceremony I will do my very utmost to help make your day special, smooth, and memorable.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in education (taught for 30 years) and a Master's Degree (summa cum laude) in counseling. This education, coupled with my experience in both fields has given me a solid professional foundation in human services. I am both a teacher and counselor at heart and I will bring this expertise to my work as a professional wedding officiant.
