A note about selecting a
wedding officiant:
Be sure to check your officiant's
credentials! Many people believe that any minister can perform marriages. That
is true in some states, but
NOT IN OHIO. Ohio requires that they be licensed by the Secretary of
State. If you are getting married in Ohio your officiant MUST be licensed. You
don't want a question of the validity of your marriage popping up 20 years down
the road. DO NOT get married in Ohio by an officiant that can't show you his
Authority To Solemnize Marriages granted by the State of Ohio. (That's why my
license number is posted at the front of my site, and
a copy of my Authority is available online.
Click here for a copy.) Be
sure to ask your officiant for a copy of his Authority and for his License
Number. I will present my original credential at our first
meeting.

look like, and a general overview of my experience.
Where can I perform marriages? Click Here
 | Your Officiant or Minister is a
LICENSED professional without which there would be no
marriage.
It is the least expensive
cost in the typical wedding, yet the only part that is
really required.
You can have a wedding without a gown, flowers or center pieces.
You can't have a legal marriage without an Officiant.
Be careful where you cut your corners. |
 | I have performed over 500
weddings since my ordination 8 years ago. That is more
experience performing marriages than many ministers get in an
entire lifetime! |

Package #1
|
For a wedding including
bridesmaids or groomsmen but without a rehearsal. I arrive 30-45
minutes before the scheduled time and go over the ceremony so that everyone
is confident about where they are supposed to be, what they are
supposed to be doing and when they are supposed to do it. I will perform the ceremony of your choice
up to 1000 words. I leave
within 1 hour of the scheduled ceremony time.
 |
Package #2 |
For a wedding celebration of any size. I
will attend the rehearsal. I arrive on time at the rehearsal
and 45-60 minutes before the actual ceremony. I will perform the ceremony of
your choice (2,000 words or less). You receive a printed copy of the ceremony. I
leave within 1 hour of the
scheduled ceremony time.
 |
Package #3 |
Same as package #2, but you have exclusive use
of me for the entire day. I will book no other ceremonies on your day. This
avoids any conflicts or problems that might arise due to lateness of guests,
vendors, family members etc.

Or Page Me
to see if I'm available NOW. If your licensing authority
does not supply you with a Marriage Certificate suitable for framing, I will
supply one for you.
 |
Confidentiality & Privacy |
If you want or need to keep
information about your wedding confidential I am certainly willing
to sign and/or provide a non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality
agreement
 |
Payment: I accept money
orders, cash, Paypal, personal or business checks,
or checks by fax or phone.
|
 |
If your licensing authority
does not supply you with a Marriage Certificate suitable for framing, I will
supply one for you. |
 |
I often book several
ceremonies for the same date. In consideration of other couples, your
ceremony must start as scheduled or I may have to leave and return later at
additional cost. |
 |
I will certainly be happy to
stay for your reception and blessing of the food if invited and if I do not
have other obligations. However, if you require me to stay for the
reception and blessing of the food, there may be an additional charge.
|
 |
Discounts: I am a
member of a number of fraternal and charitable organizations.. If you are
also a member of one or more of them I WILL offer you a discount
|
 |
Reservations:To
make a reservation for a specific date, I request a retainer of 50% of the
total fee. (although many couples prefer to pay the entire fee upfront.
It's one less thing to worry about.) Please note that this retainer is NOT in addition to the
officiating fee. The retainer goes toward the total officiating fee with the
balance due 7 days before the
day of the ceremony. If for
any reason you do not have me perform the ceremony and I receive 24 hours
notice, you will receive a refund of any monies paid except for the 50%
retainer.
(Until
the deposit is paid, I cannot hold open your specific date & time for your
ceremony and any rehearsal. With a limited number of preferred dates
available in any given year, the schedule fills up fast and you must make
such a deposit to hold any slot.) |
 |
Mileage:If your ceremony is outside of
Hamilton, Butler, Warren or Clermont counties, travel is approximately $1.00
per mile each way on weekdays, $1.25 on weeknights and $1.50 on weekends |
 |
Fees are
negotiable. I also accept some items or services in trade. |
