Traditional or Non-Traditional
There are many different ceremony styles which will fit your personality and your budget.
My fees are always the same, I don’t up-charge for Weekends, Holidays, or Bilingual Ceremonies.
You pay for the ceremony style you choose, regardless of the size of your wedding or the venue.
Fees apply to the Southampton County area.
Additional travel fees apply for any location outside of Southampton County.
Additional mileage is $1.00/mile and $1.50/mile (Winter).
If you would like me to attend/lead the Rehearsal and it is not included in the package you choose, you can add it for a fee of $100. Rehearsals can last up to 1 hour and run multiple times for your peace of mind.
For the Rehearsal, consider me your “Ceremony Coordinator”. Besides covering key ceremony elements, I’ll go over positions, walking speeds and more!! You will feel confident and sure on the day of your ceremony.
If you have a Wedding Coordinator, I will work alongside them to ensure all details are covered.
How to book your ceremony:
Choose the ceremony style that fits your needs. If you are not sure, please contact me, I am here to help and guide you, together we will choose the best option for you.
All my ceremonies are Romantic, Fun, Meaningful, and Elegant. I write my own scripts and can personalize them for each couple!
Ask as many questions as you like! Answers are free! Email, call, or text. No question is too crazy, silly, or weird, I promise!
For customized ceremonies: If you would like to meet, meetings are held in the City of Franklin. On a busy schedule? Let’s have a video conference.
Ready to book? To protect both parties a non-refundable deposit is required. You can mail a check or I can email you an invoice that you can pay online. Half of your total is due at signing in order to save your date. The balance is due six weeks before the wedding.
If booking a customized script less than 2 months to the wedding date, full payment is required at signing.
Once the deposit has been paid…you are booked!
All payments are non-refundable if service is canceled within 6 weeks of the wedding. If the final payment is not received and no contact has been made by the 6 week deadline, your day will be released.
For all Customized Ceremonies, a electronic version of your wedding script is created. You have full access to the script so you know exactly what I will say and can edit it so it can be exactly how you’ve dreamed. I write my ceremonies from life experiences with universal concepts of love and friendship.
