FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My goal is to make your ceremony meaningful, stress-free, and personal—without hidden costs. You’ll always receive a clear quote upfront based on your needs and wedding location. I believe in clear, transparent pricing with no surprises. Every ceremony is unique, and my rates reflect the time, care, and personalization that go into crafting your day. Here’s what to know: Base Ceremony Fee: Covers our initial consultation, drafting your ceremony script, unlimited edits, and performing the ceremony on your wedding day. Rehearsal Fee: Optional add-on if you’d like me to attend and guide your rehearsal. Travel Costs: Additional costs may be applied for tolls Customizations: Personalized readings, unity rituals, and tailored vows are included at no extra charge. Marriage License Filing: I ensure your license is properly signed and returned to the appropriate office—always included, or I educate the couple on the timeline that the license needs to be returned if they want to do this on their own. Last-Minute/Short-Notice Weddings: Subject to availability and may include a small rush fee. Discounts: Reduced rates may be available for veterans/first responders—just ask!
