Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far in advance should I confirm a wedding officiate?
A: Yesterday. There are only a handful of officiates available to conduct the thousands of ceremonies that take place in the area each year. Many dates are booked a year in advance.... do not delay.

Q: What about last minute requests?
A: As long as there is room in the schedule, I can officiate for you.

Q: Does it matter what religion we practice?
A: No. I serve you in a way that brings joy to your day. I am comfortable serving you in the manner that helps you live out your own spiritual experience.

Q: Can we have a non-religious, spiritual ceremony?
A: This is your choice. Many prefer a "spiritual" and not "religious" ceremony.

Q: Can we have a dual religion/clergy ceremony?
A: If you are able to find a clergy member for the desired religion, I would be more than happy to work with them in a dual ceremony. Some religions DO NOT allow this, so you may have to look around.

Q: Can we include elements of different religions and religious traditions in our ceremony?
A: Yes! These make for interesting, rich, meaningful ceremonies. I work with you and your various traditions to put together a ceremony that truly reflects your wishes.

Q: Are there any pre-requisites such as counseling? 
A: No. But if the couple desires, counseling is available.

Q: Does it matter that either of us have been married before, divorced, have children or are already privately married and want to conduct a public ceremony ?
A: No. And if you have kids, how awesome! We have meaningful ways to include them in the ceremony.

Q: Can we write our own vows?
A: Of course! I encourage you to personalize your ceremony as much as you wish.

Q: How is booking handled?
A: You are booked when we receive the $100 deposit or the entire fee. The balance, if any,  is to be paid at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled wedding.
