FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My quotes are always a flat fee that includes everything such as travel, Unity Ceremonies, Memorials, butterfly release...anything a couple wants added to the ceremony. The only exception to this is the instance where I will be required to be away from home overnight. I offer a 10% discount for military, educators and first responders.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always try to have at least 2 personal consultations with every couple, when possible. I like to sit down with them and get to know them and establish a connection. I think a couple should never stand in front of a stranger on the most important day of their lives. I give each couple sample ceremonies I've created based on the information they provide me, along with a large binder filled with options for everything that makes up a ceremony so that they can create the exact wedding that they want. I stay in contact and I'm always available to them by phone, text, and email. I try to do the second consultation closer to the special day, just in case there are questions or the couple just needs a little support. If the time period is 6 months or so, I like to have 1 more meeting about 2 weeks before the date.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained Unitarian minister who has performed over 6000 weddings in the last 53 years, including over 2500 in the past 8 years.
