Ideal for the couple who wants a quick, private wedding ceremony. Why go to the Justice of the Peace when you can get married in the privacy of your own home or backyard? This is a simple, pre-written ceremony performed at your site. No preliminary meetings or rehearsal. Basic elements include a brief introduction, a brief oration about marriage, exchange of simple vows, optional giving of rings, pronouncement of marriage, and filing of marriage license to the appropriate authorities. Religious or non-religious. 8 guest maximum. If you want any customization, the fee will increase accordingly.

For the couple who is seeking a simple wedding ceremony. Choose your ceremony from three or four samples. It includes a more elaborate section for the vows and ring exchange than the Basic Package. This ceremony does not contain any of the elements that bring other people into the ceremony (i.e. giving flowers to mothers, readings by friends, etc.), or that add symbolism and/or cultural richness (i.e. Unity Candles, sand ceremony, breaking the glass, sharing wine/water/food, jumping the broom, religious elements, etc.), though one of these options could be added for an additional $25 fee. If more than one element is desired, you should consider the Semi-Customized or Customized packages. Religious or non-religious. Since this ceremony is not personalized, it does not require preliminary work or meeting with the couple. Rehearsal optional. Includes limited emails and telephone consultations and filing of the marriage license.

For the couple who is interested in putting together their own custom ceremony, but needs a little direction. You can create your own ceremony using my extensive collection of vows, ceremonies and readings, and follow the outline I provide. I recommend this option only if you are comfortable with your own ability to put together a complete wedding ceremony using the resources I provide. I will provide minor editing of your “rough draft”, turning it into a beautiful, custom ceremony. Your final approval must be received no later than two weeks prior to the ceremony or additional charges may be incurred. Includes limited emails and telephone consultations to decide what elements you want in your ceremony, final customization of your ceremony script and filing of the marriage license.
