Welcome

A brief exchange of vows and the officiant signs the marriage certificate.

Traditional vows and ring exchange.  No customization.

Traditional or personal vows, or a combination including a ring exchange.  One special item may be included at no additional charge. 

All ceremonies include an in-person or virtual initial consultation between the minister and the couple.  Upon mutual completion of the contract, unlimited email, phone, text and video calls are available to finalize the ceremony.   Upon completion of the ceremony, the officiant will sign and date the marriage license.   

A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required at the time of contract to hold the date for the couple and the officiant.

John will meet with the amateur officiant to coach them on getting ordained, crafting the ceremony, performing the ceremony and making sure the legalities are met. 

Travel beyond 50 miles but up to 100 miles requires a fee. 

This fee will depend on the distance of the travel and will be determined at the time of the contract. 

If the couple opts for the officiant to attend the rehearsal, there is a fee. 

Specialties include glass breaking, broom jumping, hand fasting, unity candles, sand ceremonies, etc.  One speciality is included in the Customized Ceremony but others are an additional fee. 

At this time, the officiant does not provide sound equipment. 

The officiant may be available for a destination wedding but the fees are negotiable based on logistics.
