I would love to be your officiant!! Spring is here, and it’s a great time to be planning a wedding!! If you are thinking of tying the knot, congratulations! Let’s get started! As a Pastor, I love helping couples experience an exceptional wedding and a fulfilling marriage! I would be happy to plan the perfect ceremony tailored to suit your needs. There are 8 billion individuals in the world. If you found your soulmate in all those people, I want to hear your story and help you tell it! While I would love to work with you, please check my pricing below before requesting my availability. Thumbtack charges me $20+ if you reach out to me, and I want to be sure you are aware of my prices. I am not the cheapest, but I am one of the best! Here's why: I am an ordained minister, and I have officiated hundreds of weddings in North Carolina and South Carolina, and can do so in most any state. I have an easy personality, and I am pleasant to work with (even my wife agrees😊). I have a great sense of humor, and I respond quickly and communicate well. I am punctual and keep my word, to the best of my ability. If you wish to have a non-religious service, I am open to your vision. I will listen and create a service that fulfills but does not offend. Once you request my availability, I will send you specific pricing for your wedding and a link to set up a “no pressure” Zoom or FaceTime call. I can even meet in person if you prefer. None of this obligates you to hire me, but it allows both of us to see if we are a good fit for each other. I normally charge $300 to do a wedding. This includes most travel and all consultations. I charge $350 for weddings and rehearsals as I have to drive to the venue twice. If my pricing is a problem for you, just talk to me! Once you hire me, I can assist you with every step of your planning to create the perfect script and make your day memorable. Whether you want a simple ceremony in your home due or a large traditional wedding, I am well-equipped to make sure your day is everything you hoped it would be. I look forward to hearing from you!
