Introduction
The small backyard chapel is closed until spring 2024. Offsite officiating is available as before. Hello and congratulations on your engagement, I have officiated since 2014 for ceremonies both large and small, these have taken me to all corners of Iowa and beyond. My goal is that the couple wishing to have a wedding ceremony that is intimate, and focuses on the marriage itself, and that doesn't break the bank. The fees for marriages and vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, ceremony fees start at $145.00 and increase with distance to a maximum of $195.00 to the borders of Iowa. Rehearsals are an additional fee. Mon-Thurs (Des Moines area only) ceremonies are $80.00. I do offer senior discounts also veteran discounts, both active and retired. Covid was a challenging time for all of us especially for couples planning their weddings sometime having to reschedule more than once, but I want to assure my couples and any couples of the future, that although the threat of Covid has diminished greatly, I still take safety and security of any of my couples very seriously. You are always welcome to wear masks or anything that will make you feel safe and secure. The ultimate goal is to create a happy and safe day for you the bride, groom and guests. Creating and working with a couple to enable them to have a wedding ceremony that will make them both happy. It is their day and should be performed exactly as they wish and it is my goal to see that it is that way for the couple from the vows to the price charged

I had no clue what to do for a wedding and was filled with anxiety on how to handle it properly, but this officiant calmly worked us through the whole process and made it effortless. I am glad to have chosen her for our wedding as I'm not sure if another officiant would have been more judgmental and demanding, but having her as our officiant made the process a lot less stressful.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

The most reasonable person I've communicate with, I haven't even had my ceremony yet and I love her already if anyone haven't found an officiant yet she is definitely highly recommend especially if it's your first time planning a wedding. I wish I could give more than five stars!!!!!!

Sue did an amazing job, both officiating the ceremony on our wedding day and providing guidance and expertise during the planning phase! She was completely open to our hopes for our ceremony and really focused on infusing who we are as a couple into the day. She checked in on us frequently during the months leading up to the wedding to see if we had any questions or to collaborate on the ceremony. We highly recommend Sue to anyone wanting a caring, calm, professional officiant on their wedding day!
