Will we get a chance to read  our  wedding ceremony before our wedding day?
After meeting  with you, I prepare your personalized  ceremony,which I then e-mail to you for your approval a few days  before your  wedding.. You may add , delete or change any part of your ceremony. You also receive a  keepsake copy of your ceremony script on your wedding day and an heirloom marriage certificate.

Will we be able to write our own  wedding vows? 
Of course.  Your vows are an expression of your love for one another and should come from your heart. I can also provide you with a large number of vows from which to choose .

Do you perform commitment ceremonies?     Yes, I do

Are there hidden charges?
Everything will be outlined in our first consultation. There are no surprise costs whatsoever. 

Do you have any restrictions?
