My fee includes all travel within 1 hour including the rehearsal, from my location. On occasion, I will travel slightly further. The fee is incrementally higher as the distance increases beyond 1 hour. There are no extra fees other than further than 1 hour away. The price you see is all you’ll pay within 1 hour of my location.
This has never happened, but fortunately I have several licensed and experienced colleagues who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.
I recommend and gently insist on a rehearsal – that’s why it’s included in my services!
If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line. I’ve done rehearsals in city parks, living rooms, condo party rooms, and restaurants.
We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.
After we meet and you decide to book me, I send you an email with the contract and a link to an online payment portal. You can pay by credit card online. I ask for a 50% booking deposit as a retainer, and I ask for the remaining 50% 2 weeks before your ceremony.
Yes, you have to get your marriage license through the state. I only provide legal handling and registration of certification of your marriage with the registrar’s office.
