Introduction

As the name implies, this is YOUR wedding. We will help you do it YOUR way. We will meet with you and go over how YOU want the service. Then We will have you review the service to make sure it is the WAY YOU WANT IT. This is YOUR big day. It should be YOUR WAY. This is a happy time. We really like helping brides and grooms, brides and brides, or grooms and grooms, make their wedding day the one they want. It is great to see the couples smiling, laughing, crying and whispering, during the ceremony. And great news! YourWedding, YourWay has "expanded" our staff. Mike Smela and Cindy Karagosian, both ULC ordained ministers, are now available to officiate your ceremony. They both have the same philosophy I have of making sure your ceremony is personable and what YOU want. Hopefully, one of us will be available to be part of your special day. The fee for our consult meeting and the ceremony will range between $275 and $300, depending on the location of the venue for the ceremony.

Carl did a great job officiating our wedding he sat down and talked with us about our selves and how we would like things done and when we weren’t entirely sure he gave us ideas based on what we told him. He took the time to ask us what we liked about each other and made it into a speech. 10/10 very professional and a good speaker. Good with kids as well he was very helpful at the rehearsal showing my nieces and nephew what to do!

We can't thank Carl enough for making our wedding day what it was. It couldn't have been more perfect. From the beginning, Carl was responsive to emails and questions. After meeting with him, he reassured us that we had control of how our ceremony would go. Carl had amazing suggestions for a sand ceremony and knot ceremony that we would later use in our ceremony. Carl's professionalism and experience is top notch. He answered questions we had along the way, such as when to apply for a marriage license. During the ceremony, Carl's quick wit and pleasantries made us forget about any nervousness from the onlookers that were our friends and families. He created a warm, welcoming, relaxed, yet respectful environment. We received comments from our guests that they have not been to a wedding ceremony like ours before. This was all thanks to Carl. A heartfelt thank you from us to you Carl. -Forever boops.

We were very happy to have Carl officiate our wedding. He was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job. I made some last minute changes to the script, which didn’t seem to phase him one bit. The ceremony was perfect. It’s easy to tell that he is a very kind and caring man who loves what he does. Thank you Carl!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The cost of the ceremony will be $240 to $275. This includes any pre ceremony meetings, the writing of the ceremony and the officiating at the wedding. If needed at the rehearsal, there is an additional charge of $35 to $50. I like to meet with the couple prior to the date to go over what type of ceremony you would want and offer suggestions and options. At that meeting, a deposit of $100 is required to hold the date of the ceremony.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with the clients at least once before the ceremony. This helps me get a feel for them and they get a feel for me. Can help them have an organized ceremony if they need help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an on line ordination with the Universal Life Church. Was on line ordained in 2004
