What are the steps?

Step 1. Initial Contact

You fill out the Contact Us form with your email/phone number and I schedule the initial call to discuss what you are looking for in a wedding and to determine if I am the right officiant for you.

 

Step 2. First Meeting (10-12 weeks before the wedding)

We meet for the first time either in person or via SKYPE to discuss what you are looking for in a ceremony.  If we agree that I will be your officiant then a retainer fee of $50.00 is billed to you via email and I will book your wedding on the calendar.  Once that bill is paid we can proceed.

 

Step 3. Homework (8 weeks before wedding)

I will send you a questionnaire when the retainer fee is paid to help me get to know your story better and to use in writing your wedding ceremony.  After receiving  the questionnaire back from you I can start writing the ceremony.

 

Step 4. Second Meeting (4 weeks before wedding)

This meeting is scheduled after the first draft of the ceremony is completed.  During this meeting we will review the draft and make any needed changes.  After agreeing on the ceremony a final bill will be sent.  After the final bill is paid the finished ceremony will be sent to you via email.

 

Step 5. The License

You will need to apply for and receive the marriage license.  I will sign it on the wedding day and take care of getting it filed with the state.

 

Step 6. Wedding Day

I will plan to arrive 40-60 minutes prior to the ceremony to coordinate with the wedding planner/event coordinator/DJ and answer any last minute questions you may have.
