Q. Will you travel for my wedding and do you charge extra for it?

A. My fee includes travel 20 miles from my location. The fee is incrementally higher as the distance increases after 20 miles and will be clearly stated to you during our meeting. Additional mileage fee for rehearsal.

Q. What if you’re sick on the day of my wedding?

A. I would contact you as immediately as possible to let you know if this were the case. I would reach out and secure a licensed colleague who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together. I haven’t had to do this, though.

Q. What if our venue doesn’t allow a rehearsal?

A. I recommend a rehearsal – that’s why it’s included in my services! (Except in the case of an elopement.)

If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line.

We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.

Q. How and when do we pay?

A. After we meet and you decide to book me, I send you an email with instructions for payment. I ask for a 50% booking deposit as a retainer, and I ask for the remaining 50% well after you have the draft of your ceremony script and it’s almost complete.

Q. Do we apply for our marriage license or do you?

A. It is the couple’s responsibility to apply and secure their wedding license though a Los Angeles or Orange County Clerk-Recorder no more than 90 days prior to the wedding date. The couple must bring the license to the wedding ceremony. I provide legal handling and registration of your marriage with the registrar’s office once the ceremony has been completed.
