Services & Pricing

Every wedding ceremony is different because each couple is unique!

In over 200 weddings to date, I have worked with all sorts of customers of all different ages and backgrounds ranging from complete strangers, close friends, church members and even family members. In every case I love highlighting and celebrating the unique story of the couples’ love and rallying everyone present to celebrate it! However, one constant remains: every couple deserves a ceremony that honors them, their unique love story and a best day ever kind of wedding!

With that being said, I offer all kinds of ceremonies with different kinds of content:

• Christian Ceremonies
• Agnostic Ceremonies
• Spiritual Ceremonies
• Traditional Ceremonies
• Same Sex Ceremonies
• Short Elopement Ceremonies
• Vow Renewal Ceremonies

Within each ceremony I provide a variety of services that you can choose from once we find out what kind of ceremony you’re looking for. It is my job to work with you to facilitate a personalized ceremony that consists of special elements that may include:

• Telling your personal love story
• Vow & Ring Exchange Wording Templates
• Invocations, Prayer & Blessings
• First Communion
• Unity Candle or Sand
• Hand Fasting Ceremony
• Special Song Elements (yes I am a musician too)

This is not a full list and I am always flexible to try and incorporate new elements that make your ceremony personalized and special!

• For officiating Ceremonies, my price is $450

• For being present at the rehearsal, my price is $250

• For any travel beyond 1 hour from Tacoma, my price is $50 for every hour extra

• For Premarital Counseling & Coaching Sessions, my price is $40 per hour

My rate for ceremonies includes not only being present the day of, but also, time spent beforehand working with the bride and groom on the ceremony, crafting a personalized ceremony, travel and handling/mailing in your Marriage License afterward. Please note that you as the couple are responsible for applying for your marriage license prior to your big day and bringing it with you to be filled out after your ceremony. As always, I am willing to negotiate pricing given that every circumstance is is different and I’m here to serve!

Upon requesting my services and locking in a date, I will respond with an email with some great questions that help me get to know the couple and also, what kind of ceremony they want. If a couple wants to hire me as their officiant, I will set up at least one or two Skype meetings with the couple as we get to know each other and plan the ceremony together!
