Financial Considerations
There is no cost to discuss your wishes and ceremony desires with me—via the Internet or directly by telephone. Should you then decide to retain my services, a deposit of $50 (or as we negotiate) is due at that time.
I provide a substantial discount to active duty US Military personnel. Please contact me for more information.
My Professional Fees are as follows:
Officiating Only
I read directly from a pre-written ceremony that I provide - your choice of a Christian non-denominational or a Civil ceremony. I then file the legal documentation. This basic ceremony does not include CD music nor the Keepsake Folio
Fee: $145
Officiating With Personalized Ceremony Text
Your special, personalized ceremony is created from selections of pre-written text and vows I provide or that you provide. Customization, revision, and printing are included. Complex or creative work I must accomplish beyond about two hours will be negotiated.
In addition to your wedding or other ceremony, this fee includes a lovely Ceremony Certificate printed on parchment-like paper, signed, sealed and suitable for framing – included in your Keepsake Folio with the audio recording of your ceremony.
Fee: $185
Officiating With Your Personalized and Customized Ceremony
After discussing your wishes and preferences, we write the ceremony together. This can sometimes be straightforward or it may be a long, complex process. I will work with you to understand what you want and then do my very best to make sure that is what you get.
Fee: negotiated - $200 minimum
Wedding Planning and Coordination
You may wish to use my extensive local knowledge and expertise to assist in the planning and accomplishment of your very special wedding.
I will provide the 'project management', planning and co-ordination for everything you need for an outstanding and memorable occasion - such as:
 |
Finding & booking a wedding location (some popular places are booked a year or more in advance) |
|
Flowers - personal and display (theme, types, varieties, disposition, etc) |
|
Invitations - Type, style, preparation, delivery |
|
Attire - Bride, Groom, Wedding Party |

And you can count on the 'Lagniappe' - a Creole word and New Orleans tradition meaning 'an unexpected little something extra.'
