Such a Day as This

Please know that there is so much more that goes into your Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremony than just the 20-30 minutes on the actual Celebration Day. Preparing your custom ceremony, travel, help with Vows, unlimited consultation and filing your marriage license. I do my best to hold my BASE rate consistent @ $235, however, due to distance and added expenses, there is an additional $65 charge you will need to add to my base price for Weddings held in the following areas: *Sanibel & Captiva Islands, and all points South including NAPLES *St Pete Beaches *Clearwater *Tampa & all other points North. PLEASE NOTE: The fee for weddings/ceremonies in these locations will be $300 Something about Rehearsals: I do have an Add On cost if you need me to attend, however, let’s talks about this! If you have a wedding planner/coordinator, please save your money as you really do not need to have the officiant present. Even without a Planner you may not need me there. I have officiated close to 200 weddings - I do my best to arrive 45-60 minutes prior to the ceremony. Anything “special” I may need to know can happen then. I am always open to attending the Rehearsal - just know that you have options that may not be so costly! Thanks!

I am open to communicating over the phone initially and following up through email and text. Consultations are held over the phone or virtually via Zoom, Facetime or Google Duo so we can get to "see" one another!

I have a Masters degree in Ministry/Pastoral Counseling. I am Ordained Clergy with MCC and serve as the Pastor of Congregational Life at my church and preach when needed.

Many years ago I was asked to officiate my God-son's wedding. Having spent 4 years in a Catholic seminary I felt that I was prepared to take this on! It was a beautiful ceremony and I felt called to celebrate with others in this capacity on their special day. I know that not all are looking for a "religious" service and I completely respect that. That's why I have performed many services that can be defined as "spiritual" and some as "secular". Whatever you desire for your wedding, I can provide without hesitation and most definitely without any judgement!

Such a wide range of customers. Young couples, Second marriages, Vow renewals and everything in-between. I am always available to perform same gender weddings! Unfortunately, I do get requests to perform weddings or vow renewals in Spanish and just have not mastered the language yet to say yes.

Price is important but should never be what drives your decision. Get on the phone and talk to the person you're considering hiring! It's an interview. You need to feel that you can connect with this person and that he or she can provide the type of service you want. You should not feel any pressure!

Most importantly, what kind of ceremony do you want for you and your partner? Today is not for your parents, family members or friends. They are most welcome to celebrate with you but today is YOUR day!
