FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If it's a simple wedding and only one trip is required and it's up to 25 miles away, I charge around $195-225. My price includes performing the wedding, signing the license, helping with vows, designing the perfect ceremony with you! If I need to invest time in travel I will probably add $39 to 45 to it. If I need to travel multiple times, i.e. once for the rehearsal and then again for the wedding and travel is far, I might add another $75.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When asked to officiate a wedding, I like to have a preliminary discussion with the couple to understand the key elements they want in their ceremony. Things like will we mention G-d, how do they want to refer to Him, what rituals do they want in it. Do they want me to suggest vows, do they want to write their own, do they want me to have them repeat vows after me, memorize or read from paper. I basically understand the logistics they want so the wedding is everything they want it to be.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked with young adults and students for over 30 years for special events in their life. I have years of counseling and planning. I am an ordained Liberal Rabbi and with that title am qualified to officiate any wedding. I have performed over 300 weddings, including Jewish, interfaith, non-religious, non-denominational Christian, and same sex. I have also done over 100 weddings in Spanish!
