Wedding Services

and Officiant Fees*

Low Cost Alternative:

If you really need to save money, or have little money to start with, there is no more cost-effective way to wed

than getting a Judge to marry you.

Usually at the courthouse

where you get your license.

(But don't dismiss the thought

of who else may be in the courthouse

durring your wedding).

Some of their Honors

will perform ceremonies in their private offices

or even at your location.

I highly recommend Judges.

I count more than one among my friends.

However,

Is that how you pictured your wedding day?

When you consider the cost of the professional services of your Licensed Officiant, think about what a plumber or mechanic would cost for the many hours of work needed to make your wedding worry-free.

You don’t have to trust a plumber or mechanic to make sure your marriage is legal.

And I’m pretty certain plumbers and mechanics don’t have to be licensed by the State of Ohio to do their job.

You are paying for professional services.

I regret to anounce that effective May 22, 2007,

ouf fees have increased.

This is due to the rising cost of gas.

Roundtrip mileage will remain @ 75 cents per mile,

except on Holidays, which are $1.00 per mile.

A NOTE ON CUSTOMIZED PACKAGES: Preparations on your part can significantly decrease the level of customization needed, and changes in your ceremony which may occur can be avoided. Please read through any and all materials on this site and discuss them with your partner, in a general way, about what you want. Then click on “Sign my Guestbook” on the ‘Contact’ page of this website. You will be taken to a short, easy form. Please fill it out. This will give me direction in preparing your ceremony. When I have received your full deposit,I will send you the first draft of your ceremony script. Walk through it and see if I’ve addressed all that you want to include. Make corrections and/or additions then. Changes made later involve more time and preparation, and also an increased fee.

Photography

At your wedding and/or reception I am certain

your photographer will take pictures of

everyone, including myself. You can be certain

that my assistant will also take photos of the

bride and groom, and especially myself, for use

on this very website.

I will require the bride and groom (and

freely ask anybody else who wants to be

featured on this website), to sign a simple

photographic release form I will provide.

Refusal

I do hereby reserve the right to refuse any and all requests for a reservation.

I further reserve the right to refuse to perform any service that I am not comfortable with, even though a reservation was accepted.

If a wedding service that has been reserved and paid for is not performed, then a refund of fees in excess of the retainer shall be due.

Discretionary Conduct Clause:

All members of the wedding party, guests, service providers, and vendors will be

expected to conduct themselves in a legal

and responsible manner.

Any yelling, screaming, fighting, tantrums, use of profanity, intoxication, disorderly or illegal conduct, or other unpleasant behavior,

will not be tolerated,

and may, at my discretion,

A.) Be cause for immediate cancellation of your wedding and forfeiture of any and all retainers and fees.

And/Or

B.) Incur an additional fee,

(relative to the duration of the behavior)

calculated at TEN DOLLARS PER MINUTE,

payable in cash, before the ceremony is

performed or completed,

and will be considered as

fair compensation for ‘Hazardous Duty’.

Meetings

For couples that have already booked their date by sending a retainer, personal meetings may be arranged to discuss your nuptial plans.

Said meetings will be limited as follows:

Mondays through Thursday’s only, and no more than 30 minutes in duration.

(This depends on scheduling and is solely at my discretion.)

There is an additional fee of $100 for a meeting, which

will be waived when you arrive on time at the agreed upon location.

Meetings may be cancelled or re-scheduled no less than 24 hours in advance without penalty.

Failure to attend a scheduled meeting may result in forfeiture of your retainer

and/or cancellation of your booking date.

By sending your retainer fee, you agree that you have read, understand, and and will fully comply with all the terms and conditions stated herein, paying particular attention to compliance with the terms and conditions of the conduct clause.

Please do not hesitate to call or write me if there is something you want, or if there’s anything you didn’t see here!

* I reserve the right

to make changes

to any fees or services offered

at any time,

with or without prior notice.
