​

Q: How much advance notice do you need in order to book a wedding?
I try to be as flexible as possible and have been called upon with as little as two hours notice. For prime wedding months (May-September), I would recommend contacting me about 6 months in advance if possible.

​

Q: Where do you perform your services?
I can officiate weddings anywhwere – backyards, beaches, destination locations, parks as well as your living room with your family and dog (I have performed the latter one several times), the location is up to the couple.

 

Q: Why should I choose you instead of another wedding officiant?
As your Officiant I strive to make sure that the process is smooth, customized for the couple and as stress-free as possible.

​

Q: Do you need a deposit?
I do require a deposit to confirm and hold your date. The balance of the payment must be paid prior to beginning the wedding ceremony.

​

Q: How long is a typical ceremony?
The details of your ceremony will determine the length. Typically, it can last about 15 – 25 minutes.

​

Q: What do I need to bring to the wedding ceremony?
The most important thing to bring is your wedding license. I will fill out my portion and sign it at the conclusion of the ceremony.

​

Q: Do we pick from several different ceremony templates and you just insert our names?
I believe that everyone is different and the love that brought you together is unique.  We start by talking over the phone and, if possible, we meet in person so that I can find out more about you as a couple.  From there, we go through some ideas together and form a customized ceremony.

​

Q: What do you wear?
I can dress in any way that you like, I'm flexible. Typically, it will be a dress unless otherwise specified.  Most couples do not request that I wear my Minister's Gown.

​

Q: Do you only do religious ceremonies?

No, I am open to perform any ceremony of any faith, and non-denominational as well.

​

Q: Who writes our vows?
Because this is your ceremony it is totally up to the couple. I can create the traditional vows but to make it more personal it helps when the couple include some words to personalize your wedding experience. ​

​

Q: When can we get a copy of our official marriage license?
A “recorded” copy of your marriage license is generally available FROM THE PROBATE COURT about 2 weeks after your wedding. Some courts automatically send you a copy once it’s been filed, others require you to request a recorded copy.
