Packages & Pricing
For this Joyous Occasion Ceremony Package: $575. This is my most popular package. It is a low cost yet complete package. I have put together some memorable ceremonies with beautiful vows for you to use. You may choose a ceremony just as it is written, or you may use my unique “build your ceremony menu” to customize your ceremony to your wishes. All ceremonies can be personalized. For example you may want special wording about how you met, reasons you fell in love with each other, loved ones who have passed or wording to include children you bring to the marriage. If you would like this type of personalization, I have a special "get to know you" questionnaire. I am also happy to incorporate any religious customs or traditions such as breaking the glass, jumping the broom, handfasting, etc. You may include a unity element in your ceremony such as; unity candle, sand ceremony, love letter, sea shell, wine, or other such element. This package includes video chat, in-person or telephone meetings and unlimited email. You will receive a keepsake marriage certificate. On the day of your ceremony I arrive early to consult with your venue, vendors and wedding party. After your ceremony I file your marriage license with the appropriate clerk. Travel of 40 miles round trip from 08723 is also included. Mileage beyond that is calculated at the rate of 1.65 per mile. |
