What You Can Expect:

Standard Wedding Experience - $600

A structured wedding ceremony where rehearsal at a venue is necessary.

Initial Meeting

One half an hour meeting - in person or via video chat - to get to know you! We'll talk about your journey, discuss the things you're excited about (or maybe worried about!) and get on solid footing to move forward. This session will be where I get a sense of how to best customize the wedding ceremony script to your beliefs and your life situation. We will come up with and agree to a timeline, things to work on between this intial meeting and the ceremony workshopping meeting, and formalize our agreement.

Custom Script Work

After our initial meeting I will get to work on customizing the script for your wedding ceremony. Using the details from our initial meeting, I will work on a polished first draft of the ceremony script. Don't worry, you'll get input on every single word!

Ceremony Workshopping Meeting

One half an hour meeting - in person or via video chat - where we will sit down and review the script draft and other ceremony details. Is there a bridal party? Who is included in the ceremony? Will there be readings? How will sound and music be handled during the ceremony? All these questions and more will be discussed and details ironed out a week or so prior to the wedding day!

Wedding Rehearsal 

A rehearsal is pretty self explanatory! At this point, we will run through our workshopped plan and smooth out any wrinkles that may present themselves and make any reasonable adjustments to the script and ceremony order.

Wedding Day Ceremony

I will arrive an hour prior to the ceremony and check in with any onsite staff that I need to check in with, as well as the DJ/musicians and spouses. I will confirm our plan with you and any bridal party members that may not have been able to attend the rehearsal as well.

Marriage License Handling

Trust that your legal documents will be taken care of and submitted within the proper window by me personally. 

Elopement Package - $275

A small, informal, unstructured ceremony where rehearsal at a venue is not required. Show up, say your "I Do's" and get going!

Add-On Services

Optional Pre-Marital Counseling Sessions - $65/Session

Let me tell you what this session IS NOT: This session is not a religious counseling session designed to make you think theologically about your relationship, ask questions that are way too personal, or convince you to join a church. This additional, hour-long session is geared towards the practical stuff: thinking and talking about what life will be like as a unit! Maybe you've been a unit for a while and want the opportunity to reflect and see whats worked and check in on what may be challenging you. Perhaps your family dynamics are very different and you want to be aware of how your extended families will mesh or clash. Or maybe your marriage is accompanied by some other major steps in your relationship - like moving in together or sharing finances for the first time. Whatever the situation, a time to intentionally take stock of your relationship and see what your strengths and growth areas are is a great thing to do during wedding prep!

A Framed Marriage Certificate - $50

A framed certificate with your names, wedding date, venue name, and signatures from your senior bridal party members or witnesses! Most Ohio wedding certificates only have room for the officiant's signature. This option creates a great photo opportunity for you and your witnesses to sign a document that you then get to keep forever!

Additional Fees:

If the wedding takes place beyond 30 miles from Akron, OH, a mileage reimbursement will be assessed at the current IRS Business Rate and added to the total package cost.
