So, how does this work?

• Email, text or call me to set up our initial consultation.  If our schedules allow, we can meet in person.  Or, we can talk on the phone or Skype/Facetime.  Since every couple has a unique vision of their wedding, this will give me the opportunity to get to know you two, and you to get to know me.  I want to hear how you met, what you love about each other, and what your hopes and plans are for the future.  We can talk about the ceremony itself: standard vows vs. writing your own, any special readings/songs/cultural additions and other questions you have.  If we both decide it’s a good fit, you can secure your date/time with a $100 deposit.

Do you only cover Orange County?

• No, I am willing to travel, but additional travel and expense fees would be charged outside of Orange County.  Contact me and we can discuss the costs further.

How much do you charge?

• $300 for locations within Orange County. No hidden fees.  $100 deposit reserves your date/time, which goes toward the officiant fee.  The remaining $200 is due the day before the wedding.  Extra fees for travel and expenses may be incurred for locations outside Orange County, but contact me so we can discuss the details.

How long is the average wedding?

• Usually 15-20 minutes, depending on if you want a simple ceremony format, or if you have several add-ons, readings, etc.

Do you perform ceremonies for same sex couples?

• Absolutely!  Love is love! Although I struggled to keep it together, I officiated my step-daughter and my now daughter-in-law’s wedding in Laguna Beach.  I’m honored to be a part of your wedding day, whether LGBT or straight.

Do you know a good florist, hair/make up artist, photographer?

• Yes, visit my Wedding Resources page.

Do you offer discounts?

• Yes!  For military personnel (active or retired) I offer a $50 discount.  Thank you for your service!

What do you wear?

• I have several outfits (dresses or slacks) I can wear, depending on the venue.  I try to keep it neutral, as the focus should be on the couple, not me.  If there is something specific you want me to wear (or not wear), let me know and I’ll try to accommodate as best as I can.
