Good day to you and I hope you are staying healthy! And yes I am available to officiate your ceremony at a location of your choice. The ceremony fee is anywhere from $250 to $350 depending on location. If you want photography added in, then what I provide is a beautiful ceremony, signing & mailing your license & around 200 to 400 pictures (or more, depending on how many hrs you need) for fully edited, digital download photos ready for print. The fee is $300 for photographer for 1 hr. Additional photographer hrs are at$100/hr.
I have 20 yrs experience and have performed over 2000 weddings, dedications and a couple of funerals. The last 5 yrs I spent in California, still performing weddings and teaching others to do the same. I'm available to chat most anytime!

When my fiance and I were looking for a marriage officiant for our destination wedding we wanted someone who was easy to talk to, that was dependable and that would make our wedding day go smoothly. When we came across Reverend Wendy Rieley she marked off all of those on are list. She showed up on time, talked with us each before the ceremony on how we were feeling and how our ceremony would be conducted and what to do. She was so personable with my friends and family, and she even gave us a keepsake handout of our ceremony. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable officiant to make their wedding day special and go smoothly!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be competitive with the pricing of my services however I do like to make sure that you get the most value for your dollar!
There is a travel fee outside a 100 mile radius from my address so when I send you a quote, it includes the travel fee!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do like to get a feel for the bride and groom by talking with them about their ceremony by giving them samples to look over and then writing a ceremony for them to approve which they will get to have as a keepsake.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Well whenever I run into something different I do lots of research as to how the ceremony should proceed and how the bride and groom want it, so I would say that all my Education and Training is by experience!
