Spiritual Note
As a registered clergy member and metaphysical minister, the ceremonies I conduct do have a spiritual component. If you prefer not to relate to anything, I suggest finding a "Justice of the Peace" to perform your ceremony.
Marriage Ceremony Process
The Process
Wedding ceremonies are as unique as each couple and can be as simple or involved as the couple chooses.
Couples interested in cultural or traditional ceremony will meet with the minister either in person or virtually for one session. During this session, couples create their own unique ceremony and vows that reflect the sacred commitment of marriage.
The ceremony is written and presented to the couple for approval. The minister then performs the ceremony. A one-hour rehearsal is recommended and included if the location is available. Cultural or Tradition Ceremonies can include any rituals, traditions, and practices the couple chooses.
Prices include the initial consultation and may include the written and performed wedding ceremony and rehearsal.
(Price varies depending on the length of each ceremony, location and travel)
Pre Marital Planning
The Process
This consists of 5 one hour pre-marital sessions done in person or virtually where couples create their unique commitment contract based on priorities, values and life plans within a structured map that outlines their marriage. From this relationship mapping, the couple, with the minister's help, curates their uniquely crafted ceremony and vows that reflect their sacred commitment.
Includes 5 pre-marital sessions, the written and performed wedding ceremony and rehearsal: $750 - $900
(Depending on the type and length of ceremony)
5 pre-marital sessions are available without a service: $500
Vow Renewals
The Process
The minister and couple meet either in person or virtually where couples begin the process of creating their unique ceremony and vows that reflects the sacred session commitment once made and introduces the next stage of marriage with a renewed commitment. Once the ceremony is written it is presented to the couple for approval. Ceremonies can include any rituals, traditions and practices the couple chooses.
Includes the consultation, written and performed wedding ceremony and rehearsal: $250-$350
(Price varies depending on the length of each ceremony, location and travel)
