What is Included?



Free Consultation



At the consultation meeting, we get to know you and you get to know us. This helps everyone decide about "fit".

We'll also discuss your ceremony options based on your preferences, background, theme, and so forth.

We typically meet with our couples in person however, with the pandemic, Zoom/Skype is the preferred method.


Assist w/Ceremony Design



We will go over the "typical" scheduling, structure (order) and/or timeline of a wedding a well as the various sections typically found in a wedding.


We then offer suggestions on possible elements that could be included in your ceremony such as a unity element, readings, poems, blessings, or cultural and/or faith elements (to name but a few).


We can compose the entire ceremony or work hand in hand with you as you create your own ceremony.

Performance of Ceremony



With our extensive experience performing weddings, you can rest assured that your ceremony will be delivered in a caring and professional manner.


Reviews from previous clients often mentioned that they felt like we were speaking to them, not reading from a script.It made the ceremony very personal for them and it will for you as well.



Keepsake Booklet of Ceremony



We print your final ceremony script in a lovely keepsake booklet that we use during the ceremony and that you will receive as our gift after the ceremony.​


You will also receive a lovely, frame-able certificate (since you shouldn't use your legal marriage certificate to scrapbook or put in a shadow box).



File Your License



With a few exceptions, we will take your marriage license and file it with the appropriate city clerk's office (as Texas law dictates) via certified mail.


Typically, you will receive your final license with a week or two of filing.


Once the license is received by the clerk's office, they register the marriage in their system (as required by law), fill out their portion of the license, and mail it back to you. That way, if you should ever lose it (heaven forbid!) or need a copy, you can purchase one from the clerk's office.



Travel Radius



Included in the above stated prices is travel within a 45 mile radius of the Officiant's home.


Distances beyond the 45 mile radius will be assessed at the current IRS mileage rate as well as $60 an hour drive time, charged in 15 minute increments.


Mileage is calculated ahead of time and you, the couple, will know what we are charging for travel (if applicable) up front.



Payment



NOTE: All account balances are due 3 days prior to your ceremony via PayPal.


This allows you to relax and enjoy your day without having to "remember" where the envelope/check is, where the Officiant is, or hoping that the best man took care of the payment. (No offense to Best Men everywhere.)


You do not need a PayPal account to use PayPal. Our payment portal allows you to use any credit card through the PayPal system.
