Q&A

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

My basic pricing structure for elopements starts at $150 and for weddings is $295. Costs vary depending on your chosen location and day of the week as well as the level of customization involved. This fee includes all communication, ceremony creation, ceremony performance, and facilitation of the marriage license witnessing and recording.

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

I'm happy to offer a complimentary "get to know you" chat via telephone, Zoom/FaceTime, where we can determine whether we're a good match. We'll also have a chance to discuss your desires and visions for your special day. At that time, I'm happy to offer suggestions for venues and vendors as well as answer any additional questions you may have.

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

I am an ordained non-denominational, multi-faith, Interfaith minister through One Spirit Interfaith Seminary. I am also trained in premarital counseling, spiritual counseling, and life purpose and career/business coaching.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started doing this work 20 years ago as a favor for a friend who was getting married and wanted me to officiate their ceremony. I said "yes" and had a wonderful time working with them to create a beautiful and memorable event. Little did I know that it would lead me to become ordained and work with couples as an officiant, counselor, and minister.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with many different types of people in many different situations. I love to take some time getting to know you and listening to what you envision for your special event. Then, together, we plan a ceremony that will delight and honor you. In the case of spiritual counseling or coaching, we first get clear about your desired outcomes and then explore ways to make sure you see results.

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

In the case of a wedding ceremony, I would advise you to always ask the officiants how many events they schedule per day. I typically schedule just one, and never more than two events with plenty of time between them to ensure timely, focused, and specialized attention to your special day.
