Introduction

Congratulations on your upcoming celebration of LOVE! I hope you have read my reviews, and will be as happy as the couples I have Officiated for previously I am thrilled I have made many couples very happy with their ceremonies. I have over 10 years of experience, and enjoy meeting and planning ceremonies with future newlyweds I utilize Thumbtack as well as word of mouth. I Officiate ONLY ONE wedding per weekend, UNLIKE other Officiants. I focus on you as a couple and your special day. Every wedding,vow renewal, elopement, and commitment ceremony, have been created so that the ceremony reflects who they are as a couple. I like to incorporate your personal love story in the ceremony. I love love! I love joining hearts! I would be honored to Officiate your special day. Please call or text me, so we can get started planning your memorable ceremony. The best time to text or call is AFTER 2 PM

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

No, I do not have a standard pricing system. My fees depend on the day of the week, if you are having a rehearsal, if it is a destination wedding.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to meet with the couple and get to know them. When I learn about their relationship, I can create a more personal ceremony. I will also share with them the ceremony I created prior to the Big Day and make changes if they choose. I also like to get their marriage license prior to the ceremony. It is one less item to remember. I am available to them through the entire process via phone or text.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a Christian and have studied the Bible for 5 years. I have a network of friends who are also Officiants. We often bounce ideas off each other and make referrals if the date requested is already booked.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I have always loved weddings. A dear friend became an Officiant and I was moved by the thought that I could create wedding ceremonies and join two hearts. I so enjoy being around people who are in love and making the ultimate commitment. I love, love, hence I sought out becoming an Officiant

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with a variety of couples and am open minded. I believe love is love no matter what race, nationality religion or gender preference. I have officiated weddings At the Monroe County Jail as well as a local detention center.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Fond memories of a recent Vow Renewal. It was a very emotional event. Their children gave them the Vow Renewal as a 20th anniversary present. Children and grandchild surrounded them in their living room. I wrote the entire ceremony. I had spoken prior to the event to two of their children. I learned about their family and wrote the ceremony and shared it with prior to the Vow Renewal. The parents were thrilled the children were thrilled. It was the most beautiful heart felt ceremony tears flowed.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Talk to several Officiants before you make a decision. I think their personality plays a roll in you feeling comfortable. It may take a little longer to decide but in the long run I think you'll be happier with your choice

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

On my special day will the Officiant be completely focused on my day? Will they have another wedding before or after mine? Will my ceremony be a standard script or will my ceremony have our personal input. Does this person seem sincere? Why did they become an officiant? A contract to ensure date,time, location, and fees are agreeable, and officiate is available.
