Introduction

If you are looking for a fun, stress-free wedding- you’ve come to the right place! I want to help you create the ceremony of your dreams! Let’s tell your Love Story! Every couple has a different love story, and I want to tell yours! I start with an outline on how a ceremony works, and we go from there! I want to work with you, help you to treasure your ceremony for the rest of your lives!

Q&A

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

A simple pre-written elopement is $250. A ceremony that includes the perfect flow, add any poems, prayers or unity ceremony, of course- unlimited calls, texts, and emails, and filing the license, that is a micro- wedding is $350 and the Main Event is $450. I can also help with the rehearsal for $150. I would love to write your own personal love story! There is a military discount available.

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

Have an initial phone call to take care of all the details, $100 non-refundable save the date retainer is what’s needed in the beginning and the remaining is due at the rehearsal (if there is one) or the ceremony if paying cash, and one week before for other forms of payment. That includes unlimited texts, calls, emails. I’m there early before the ceremony- to make sure everything is going well. Signing and filing the marriage license!

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

I have over 10 years of experience. I have the experience, professionalism and confidence to make sure you have the best day of your life!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

A friend of mine wanted a simple backyard wedding, but everyone was charging too much for her. I got ordained on-line, and loved it so much the rest is history! I’ve always loved speaking in public, so this fits my personality perfectly!

What types of customers have you worked with?

All types! I’ve married a couple right out of high school, I’ve married a couple that had been divorced from each other and wanted to get married to each other again, LGTBQ supporter, older couple that had met and fallen in love and didn’t want to waste any precious time! Any race or religion. I’m willing to be open to any requests!

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

My ceremonies have always been a fun, enjoyable time for everyone! I love couples that want to be completely involved, and I love the ones that want me to take care of everything! My goal, with every ceremony, is that the couple enjoy their ceremony- as much as their reception!

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

Make sure you “click” with your minister. People could be talking about your wedding for years- you want to make sure they are talking about how amazing it was!! Obviously, check out prices, but also check out experience, reviews and look at pictures they provide!

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

Ask them about experience. I know everyone is new at one time in their lives, I would just rather have someone that knows their ceremony- backwards and forwards!
