*Cancellation and Change of Date policies are notated in the signed agreement between the couple and the officiant.

Consultations are $25. At least one consultation is required. An initial consultation is necessary to do an introduction session with the couple and the officiant.

Once the ceremony has been discussed, the officiant will write out the ceremony and submit to the couple for approval. Should more consultations be requested by the couple, it will be an additional $25 per session.
