Introduction

Our goal is to ensure that your marriage ceremony will be extremely personal and profoundly meaningful. At your request, we will incorporate your personal requests, acknowledgements, favorite music and or poetic lyrics. We offer a plethora of wedding vows or you are more than welcome to incorporate your own. The most enjoyable part of officiating marriage ceremonies is the opportunity to share in a couple's most special day. For the couples who choose the "premarital counseling" option, the joy of getting to know the couple and assisting them through their personal anxiety and concerns, is a tremendous privilege.

My husband and I decided to have a "minute wedding" and we couldn't be happier with the time and care Anthony put into our simple ceremony. Anthony's service preparations in the initial phone consultation were so thoughtful, loving and thorough it left us fully confident that we would have a beautifully personalized wedding sermon. With absolutely no judgment, he was careful to incorporate our own held religious/spiritual thoughts, he was sure to get our preferred gender-specific/gender-neutral wording for the sermon, he gathered specials memories from us and gave us an opportunity to incorporate our own words about our partner. Given the attention we received, you would have thought the three of us had some sort of prior relationship, but Anthony seeks to capture and reflect that unique love between you and your partner in his sermon and is especially inspired to do so because of his own love for all people. From the first phone call it is obvious that Anthony is genuinely honored to be entrusted with such a pivotal role on such a vulnerable day, which is why I felt so safe and blessed that he was there to lead us, care for us, and join us in marriage. Thank you so much, Anthony, for being our officiant! With much love, Will and Jess

Anthony was the perfect fit for our wedding. I’m so grateful we found him! Everyone cannot stop talking about how much they loved our ceremony. It ran so smoothly from the first meeting to the rehearsal and then to the big day. We did a few non traditional things, and he was on board and executed them perfectly. He never judged our choices and always reinforced to make this ceremony about us and what we want. He spoke about us as if he’s known us our whole life. Our guests have made comments like “Your ceremony was the most engaging we’ve ever been to”, “The officiant made us feel together with you in the moment”. If you need an officiant, you will not be disappointed going with Anthony!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard officiating fee is $300. This fee includes at least one phone or physical meet and greet to discuss the ceremony details. My presence at the rehearsal is an additional $75. Also, there will be a $50 per hour late fee for rehearsals and weddings that do not start on time. Marriage counseling is optional; the fee is $100 per 60 minute session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our initial contact will include basic questions...when/how did you meet? The date/time of the ceremony? Will there be any special requests or observances? Why are you getting married? Couples may choose to enlist our "premarital counseling" services for an additional fee.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed minster since 1993 and ordained in 1996.
