Retainer and Wedding Agreement
I ask for a minimum $200 retainer deposit to reserve and guarantee a date and time to book your wedding ceremony. The balance is due by one week (7 days) before the event. Fees for Ceremony Script Composition, Concise Commitment, and Essential Elopement Packages are due in full at the time of booking. A Wedding Agreement/Contract, that merely spells out our respective responsibilities, will document our professional relationship.
Ceremony Script Composition and Consultation
For those who are asking a friend or relative to officiate their ceremony
I will meet with you by video chat to help you to craft the perfect wedding ceremony script for your special day. I will speak to the friend or relative you have chosen to officiate and offer them guidance about reciting the ceremony. I will also consult with them about the "ins and outs" of getting ordained and filing important legal paperwork.
