A wedding is not a script. It is a covenant. I officiate weddings with a written liturgy prepared for the two of you, vows that hold weight, music when you want it, and care for everyone the day belongs to, including the people who could not be there.
I was ordained through the Universal Life Church because my son Jacob and his fiancée Darcey asked me to be the one to marry them. I wrote the liturgy myself. Full Christian structure, vows in the name of God, ring blessing, Trinitarian formula. The opening included a remembrance naming the dead from both families, by name, so the living could feel them in the room. That is how I officiate weddings. The same care I brought to my own son’s wedding is the care I bring to every couple.
The gift covers the pre-wedding meeting, the custom liturgy I write for the two of you, vow preparation, rehearsal coordination, and the ceremony itself. Adding live music or a song customized for the day brings the gift to $600. Travel is part of the conversation.
Rates are adjusted to reflect generally accepted standards in the area, or negotiated based on what fits the situation. The number is a starting point, not a ceiling or a floor.
For couples who want a custom song to outlast the day, whether a first dance recording, a ceremony song, or an anniversary keepsake, I also offer custom studio recordings through working relationships with established producers and session musicians.
Couples of every tradition. Christian weddings, ecumenical weddings, weddings for couples without a tradition who still want sacred language and a ceremony that means something. Wherever the conversation leads. A destination wedding is just a wedding that happens to be far away. Distance is not a barrier.
Weddings are best planned with time. The first conversation can happen by phone, video, or in person, whatever is easiest for you. There is no template and no pressure. Just the two of you and what you want held.
