FAQ

How do we get started?
Call, text, email, or fill in the form on the contact page. If I have that date free, we’ll set up a time to meet. If you are out of town, we can chat on the phone. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other. At that point you can decide if I’m the officiant for you. If you choose to use my services I’ll send you a contract to sign explaining what you can expect. The signed contract and a non-refundable deposit is all it takes to reserve the date on my calendar (deposit amount is depeendent on the total amount of your package) . I accept cash, checks, payment thru PayPal or Venmo.

What is your experience?
I have been an officiant for 6+ years with the experience of over 400 weddings. Often times I am hired to attend, coordinate, and oversee the wedding rehearsal. I have been hired as a day-of coordinator. Until recently I was the owner of The Ruston Chapel near Point Defiance so I am well aware of what all goes into advanced planning the orchestrating the day of your wedding.

Do you come to the rehearsal?

I am happy to attend and coordinate your rehearsal for an extra fee. I will create an outline that begins with my entrance and ends with the recessional after the ceremony. We rehearse (normally takes an hour) until everyone is comfortable with their part in your ceremony. I highly suggest a rehearsal if you have more than 4 people in your wedding party, especially if small children are included as flower girls and ring bearers.

How long is a wedding on average?

Once everyone is in place and I can begin the ceremony you can plan 14 – 18 minutes. If we add extras like readings, songs, unity candles, etc. it may take a bit longer. I find if a ceremony lasts longer than 20 minutes your guests will become restless and fidgety.
