FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All fees are negotiable. A typical wedding is in the neighborhood of $200. I am happy to officiate weddings that are away from my church building. For the couple seeking a traditional church building for their wedding, Saint John's Lutheran Church is worth considering for your occasion.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process from introduction to wedding day is always unique for every couple. I like to begin with an initial consultation. I prefer to meet with you and your fiance' face to face, if that is practicable. If not, a phone call can suffice. During this meeting we will get to know each other a bit, and I will be able to listen to you tell me what your plans are for your wedding day. From this conversation I am able to draft the wedding ceremony that is specifically for you. After the initial consultation there are a couple of additional options that we can discuss. Essentially, I can provide whatever services you need to be ready for your wedding day.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.S. in Business, and a Masters in Divinity. I have received the rite of ordination within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
