• Phone or in-person consultations
• Preparation of a draft ceremony for your review
• Revisions of the draft to meet your desires
• Early arrival on the wedding day to prepare wedding documents, inspect venue and talk to your DJ, musicians, wedding coordinator, photographer, etc.
• Finalization and mailing of your wedding license proof of marriage back to the court.

I am bilingual. I am happy to create any ceremony you want in either English, Spanish, or both.

 

Soy bilingüe. Me complace crear cualquier ceremonia que desee en inglés, español o ambos.

Your payment in full holds your date and I stop taking wedding requests from other couples. This payment is not refundable because I stop accepting other couples on your date, and I start working on your ceremony immediately. However, if some issue forces a total cancellation of your ceremony, I will refund 50% of the full payment you made. If you are forced to change your wedding date and or time, as long as I am available for the rescheduled ceremony, there will be no additional charges, unless the new venue is farther away. If you find a different officiant, or for example, you find out that a relative of yours is ordained and wish them to perform the ceremony, there will not be a refund

I suggest that you pay me using PayPal because it is instantaneous and assures that your wedding date is reserved immediately.

It is very simple to use PayPal and you do not need an account. Go to the “Payment” link at the top of this page, and follow the instructions.

I thank you very much for sharing your special day and entrusting it to me. I will do my best to justify your faith.

My quote is based on my initial estimate of what will be involved in preparing for, creating, and performing your wedding ceremony. This includes travel and preparation time. I think you will find my quote to be affordable.  I do not overcharge. I do this because I enjoy it, not because it is my retirement fund! I try to discourage couples from paying for extra services they do not need. But we will talk about that more if you are interested.

About 50% of my couples want me to write their vows. The other half write their own. Either is fine with me and does not affect my quote. I am happy to write them for you, or give you help writing them.

When I interview you, I will get a sense of what type of vows you prefer and go from there.

Of course. This is probably the most important day of your life, and you need to be comfortable with me. I typically make appointments to meet couples at a mutually convenient coffee shop on weekend mornings.

Because of the nature of this work, I require your payment in full to hold the date and to start creating your ceremony. 50% of this deposit is not refundable because I stop accepting other couples on your date, and I start working on your ceremony immediately. See above for more details.

You can of course pay by cash or check.

I have two, unfortunately, and they are rather important. And they are both based on my constant efforts to get your job done right.

The first is couples who do not reply or acknowledge the messages I send them.

The second is couples who change the time of the wedding and do not ask me if I can accommodate the change.

I perform about 75 to 100 weddings each year. In order to do that many weddings, I have a system that I follow so that I do all your work as quickly and efficiently as possible. So, when I send off a question or any material to my couples it helps immensely if they reply back quickly. That way I know they know what I need to make their ceremony perfect, and I can move on to the next couple. Too often I email couples and get nothing back – that is frustrating. The second pet peeve is similarly based. If you tell me your wedding is at 5 pm I then plan my day around being at your wedding venue early to meet with you, to meet with your music people, to talk to your wedding coordinator [if you have one], and to finish your wedding license paperwork. I will also schedule other activities for other couples or for myself personally after or before your ceremony. If you change the time on me, it could be a major problem. Imagine how you would feel if I was late to your wedding! My telling you that another couple changed their time will not make it all better for you.
