Introduction

Your wedding is for most of us the most special day in our lives. It’s a life changing experience! My goal is to make sure that your day is as stress free, meaningful and memorable as possible. I’m just one person, not a company. I specialize in creating customized ceremonies to match your specific beliefs and lifestyles. I am an ordained, non-denominational Christian minister, so no church membership required. I am open minded and willing to travel anywhere on the Gulf Coast or elsewhere. Some areas require an increase to cover expenses depending on what is involved to get to you. I try to keep expenses down, however with gas prices rising every day its becoming more difficult to keep the cost down. A personal wedding meeting is not included in my price. I generally do a phone meeting or Zoom online meeting, unless you live near Lumberton. Weddings are about family and should be a joyous time. I do my best to honor that ideal. I will do weddings pretty much anywhere, beach, mountains, rain , snow (yes I have 4wd) and other outdoor locations. Also unusual themes are not a problem. I have an area on my property for small outdoor ceremonies if needed for a reasonable extra fee. I also provide a small PA, mic etc if needed at a slight extra fee. I also play guitar and sing. I can do special music for your ceremony or your reception. Let me know if this interests you and we can discuss the details. Go to my website to listen to music samples. Last minute changes are not a problem within reasonable notice. I am very tolerant of all people and their diverse lifestyles that we see in our modern world. I am a full service minister and will handle other services, such as memorials and Christenings. I also do spiritual counseling if needed. Thank you for looking at my site!

Q&A

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

unfold fold
I offer reasonable prices for all customers. I include creating the ceremony wording and editing in one price quote. I charge nominal expenses for gas and ferries on long distances. The only other up charge would be compensation for a wedding rehearsal if required. I will do long distance weddings if expenses are covered. I can provide live music for an additional fee depending on what is required. I also have a PA system available for a nominal charge.

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

unfold fold
I start with a brief phone call to get your particulars for your special day and arrange a face to face meeting at a location convenient to both of us as soon as possible. At the meeting we discuss your ceremony order of service. The meeting will be extra if it is not within my local area. If the face to face meeting is not possible then we just have a zoom meeting or phone interview and I edit the wording by email. Then we choose the wording style you prefer and set up a time for me to send you a first draft of the ceremony words. If that is approved great. If not I edit the ceremony to your specifications. Then of course we do the rehearsal if required and of course your wedding day!

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

unfold fold
I am an ordained minister and have performed over 300 weddings and climbing since 1999.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I joined a church in 1994 and became very active in a short time. I enjoy doing wedding ceremonies and meeting such wonderful people!

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I have worked with interracial couples, formerly married people, pregnant, young , old and cross religion couples. All are welcome with me!

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

unfold fold
I did a wedding on a 70’ yacht in Seattle. It was a beautiful day and all enjoyed the gathering and it went off without a problem .

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

unfold fold
Just find out if the minister has any experience. Also be sure you feel comfortable with this person. If they are critical of your situation keep looking.

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

unfold fold
They should find out if church membership is required. Be sure to ask if the minister will perform a wedding for formerly married people. Another issue can be pregnant mothers who wish to marry. Some ministers will not perform these weddings. I do them all.
