Wedding
Tips Thanks for visiting my website. As
your Officiant, I want to make sure that your
wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. I offer the information below to
assist you in your planning for the big day. Agreements It is my intention to provide you with the most
professional officiating. The agreement form below protects all parties
(Bride & Groom and Officiant) and ensures that
your needs and expectations, as well as my own, are met. Please
feel free to open a printable copy here. Premarital
Sessions I’m sure you are
excited about your wedding day! You probably already know that you have
a lot of planning to do for this special time in your lives together. I
would like to help you celebrate that day by assisting you in planning your
ceremony. You may want to consider your ceremony as the formal
introduction to the rest of your lives together. The Premarital
Wedding Service Package ($450) I offer as
your Officiant is composed of three premarital
sessions, the ceremony and the rehearsal. The initial meeting with you
and your partner is not considered to be one of the sessions. Read more about
Premarital Sessions here. Getting

about the eligibility requirements for and steps involved in the legal
process of marriage. Please
