"Customized" - same as customized wedding ceremony above

 You are about to embark on one of the most important and cherished events in your life. Your wedding is a momentous and precious day that requires extensive involvement from your Officiant.

 I would be honored to be an integral part of your ceremony and I would like to guide you through the entire procedure professionally and reverently.  We will have an in-person/or zoom video meeting to begin our working relationship.  As we discuss your special day and become comfortable together, you will quickly learn that you are in proficient and caring hands. 

If you are simply inquiring about my officiant services, or when you are ready to get started with planning, I ask that each couple complete the consultation form (click below), which will help me in preparing for our first meeting.
