commitment ceremonies
You have been together oh so many years, or maybe you are still in the early stages of life together. Either way, you both have decided that you want to take the next step and commit to a life as partners.
I want to be part of that special day. As a celebrant unaffiliated with any specific religion or organization, I will design, create, and perform a unique commitment ceremony just for you. Your ceremony can be simple, traditional, contemporary, or as elaborate and eclectic as you desire. Regardless of the style, it will be perfect for you. I believe your ceremony should be a personal reflection of your current relationship and future years together.
Officiant Services
- An initial meeting (in person or by phone)
- As much phone and email communication as needed to develop your ceremony
- Preparation of a couple-centered ceremony that reflects your love, dreams, beliefs, values, and cultural traditions
- Assistance with choosing or writing your vows
- A touch base meeting to discuss the draft ceremony and fine tune it to perfection, if desired - many couples prefer to do this via email
- Professional and punctual Officiant for your ceremony, dressed in your choice of attire
- Elegant printed copy of your vows and ceremony
- Upon request, presence/assistance at the rehearsal (may be an extra fee)
Fee Information
Fees are structured to support time dedicated to writing and designing your ceremony, as every ceremony is custom. Factors include meeting time and travel, as well as time to write and officiate your ceremony.
The Officiant Fee is usually $450 but since every ceremony is unique, please e-mail for a quote, and feel comfortable in knowing that all services and fees will be discussed openly and agreed upon in writing prior to booking. Additional services, such as attendance at the rehearsal, or travel beyond a certain distance, may be extra.
A non-refundable retainer fee of $100 is required to hold your special date with the remainder due on or before the day of the ceremony.
Cancellation
Ceremonies cancelled less than 14 calendar days prior to the event will be billed in full.
