Weddings

Officiating with care.

A wedding is not a script. It is a covenant. Grace and Peace Studio officiates weddings with a written liturgy prepared for the couple, vows that hold weight, music available when wanted, and care for everyone the day belongs to, including the people who could not be there.

How this work began

Marc was ordained through the Universal Life Church because his son Jacob and his fiancée Darcey asked him to be the one to marry them. Marc wrote the liturgy himself. 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 Marc officiates weddings. The same care he brought to his own son’s wedding is the care he brings to every couple.

What a wedding includes

Suggested gift
$400 starting
Custom liturgy, rehearsal, and officiating · $600 with music included

The gift covers the pre-wedding meeting, custom liturgy written 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.

If cost is a barrier, please reach out. There is always a way to get to yes.

For couples who want a custom song to outlast the day, whether a first dance recording, a ceremony song, or an anniversary keepsake, Grace and Peace Studio also offers custom studio recordings through working relationships with established producers and session musicians.

Who this serves

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. Destination weddings are simply weddings that happen to be far away. Distance is not a barrier.

They remain with us in spirit, for they are linked forever with our lives and our shared memories.

Begin the conversation

Weddings are best planned with time. The first conversation can happen by phone, video, or in person, depending on what is easiest. There is no template and no pressure. There is the two of you and what you want held.
