I she/her own Pond Side Ministries and have been a professional and licensed Wedding Officiant with over 15 yrs experience. I offer a personalized ceremony expressing your wishes to make your day a "Happily Ever After" I work closely with your wedding planner, photographer and DJ so things flow just as you planned. I perform ceremonies for everyone, gay or straight and also officiate at Renewal of Marriage Vows, Baptisms and Naming Ceremonies as well as Graveside/Funeral and Celebrations of Life. Regarding Weddings: What I do, is that shortly after you contact me, we get together to discuss what type of wedding ceremony you would like, the size of wedding party etc. as well sharing any tips I have to enhance and personalize your special day. Then you can decide if I am the right officiant. I provide some resources should you like extra information to create a unique ceremony. We then chat about a month before the wedding and finalize plans and then I conduct a rehearsal (included in price, whether you have one or not, and recommended for parties of more than one attendant each). There is no counselling required and most ceremonies are 15-20 minutes, depending upon your choice of readings or music. I can also assist you with options for venue, photographers and wedding planners. . My fee for personalizing your ceremony, meeting in person twice, rehearsal, taxes and any emails/phone called needed is $395. I am not the cheapest or most expensive officiant but this is my business not a hobby and you will be getting professional advice, experience and expertise. A $100 deposit confirms your booking. I usually meet with couples weeknights at 7 or some Saturdays. This consultation is free. Please check out my website to know more about me and to read testimonials. www.pondsideministries.com. FYI: I am fully vaccinated and comply with all protocols.
