Frequently Asked Questions
Contact me to let me know the date of your wedding and your interest in knowing more.
I’ll respond within 24 hours with my availability, guidelines, and fees.
If you’re interested in meeting with me, we’ll schedule time after work or on a weekend to meet. This meeting with both the bride and the groom will be no-obligation. I’ll ask you some get-to-know-you questions, and you can ask me the same. I’ll bring a contract to this meeting.
You can take my contract home and think it over. If you decide you want me to conduct your ceremony, sign the contact and return it to me with a deposit. This holds your date.
After you reserve your date, we will schedule a more in-depth meeting in which I will ask you about your life, your relationship, how you met, how you proposed, what your goals and dreams are, and more.
Then, I go back and start writing your ceremony. This takes a couple of weeks.
I’ll send you the first draft for your review and input.
You’ll return any edits or changes to me no later than two weeks prior to the wedding.
While the ceremony is being crafted, you need to obtain your Marriage License from the Register of Deeds in your county.
I’ll conduct the rehearsal, the wedding ceremony, work with the musicians to set our cues, and any other details you may need my help with.
I’ll sign the license and get the necessary signatures of your witnesses, then mail it to the Register of Deeds in the county in which you obtained it. I confirm they have received it, and it will be permanently filed in your county records office. You will then be able to get a certified copy for name changes and other needs.
