A Simple Ceremony
$375
plus travel fee (see below)
A ceremony that is personalized and as unique as your relationship. We’ll work together to find the readings and elements to make your wedding ceremony reflect your own vision and personalities. Choose from any of my sample ceremonies or we can create something completely different, whether it is short and sweet, romantic or eclectic and quirky.
This package includes as much customization as desired, unlimited phone consultations and email correspondence, and a copy of the ceremony for you to keep. An in-person meeting between the officiant and couple is also included on request (near Chelsea, preferred), either before booking or for ceremony planning purposes. Ceremonies usually last 15 – 30 minutes including processional.
(A rehearsal is not included in this package.)
On the day of the wedding, the officiant will arrive 15-30 minutes early to assist in on-site coordination with DJ or musicians, photographers and wedding party as needed, perform your ceremony, fill out the marriage license, coordinate the signing, and ensure that it is mailed correctly.
Rehearsal + Ceremony
$625
plus travel fee (see below)
This package adds on a rehearsal at the site of your wedding with coordination of the wedding ceremony processional, recessional, music and any additional elements you’ve included. I allot one hour for a rehearsal. I recommend this for anyone who is planning a formal processional and/or has a lot of people in their wedding party.
If you are comfortable without a formal rehearsal, I am happy to discuss the plan with you via phone or email and help coordinate your wedding party in the half-hour before we start your ceremony.
Elopements & Tiny Weddings
$250
Available Monday-Thursday anytime & Friday before 3pm
Limited to local areas only: Chelsea, Dexter, Ann Arbor
This is an option if you’ll have only a handful of guests at your elopement or small wedding and would like to include a very short ceremony with a legal license signing. These tiny weddings are casual, and can be held in someone’s backyard, living room, or at a local park or restaurant. See mini-ceremonies for samples to personalize.
This package includes a short ceremony of 5-10 minutes in length, a copy of the ceremony for you to keep, and all email and phone correspondence.
On the day of the wedding, the officiant will arrive at the specified time, perform your ceremony, fill out the marriage license, coordinate the signing, and ensure that it is mailed correctly. No rehearsal is available for this package.
