Do we obtain our marriage license from you?
No. You must contact the county court house in which you plan on getting married. Once I perform your ceremony you have the choice of dropping it back off to the court house, mailing it in or have me mail it in for you.
Whatever the circumstances, I am here to make your event extra special. This service will help create a wonderful and unique experience for your guests. I offer competitive rates and work with the best vendors and venues in the Jacksonville area, guaranteeing an unforgettable event.
How do we book you?
Once I have received your signed contract with deposit you will officially be on my calendar. Remember it's first come first serve. So their may be other couples requesting the same date.
I care about making your event the best possible experience for everyone involved. I take care of all the small, tedious details and arrangements so that my clients can focus on the important stuff. That’s why I make the effort to understand your exact needs, so the event you imagine is the event you’ll get.
What if we have questions prior to our ceremony?
After I am officially booked, I am always available via text, phone, email, video if you need me. If meeting up in person is not convenient due to your schedule I am always available via video chat.

What style is the ceremony?
My non-denominational ceremonies are basically in four parts.

2) Question of Intention (where you answer I DO)
3) Exchange of Rings and Vows- repeat of me.
4) Closing Words / Pronouncement.
You can make additions to your ceremony as well: Have a guest/friend/family member do a reading,
unity candle, sand ceremony, hand-fasting, etc.

Do you come to rehearsal?
Most of the time I do not attend a rehearsal, but I can. (Requires a rehearsal fee.)
Check to see if your venue has a coordinator to run a rehearsal.
If you have a large wedding party (grandparents, parents, attendants) walking down the aisle, it would be WISE to have me there too.
I am always available via text, phone, email, video if you need me.
Do you offer prayer or religion into your ceremonies?
No. If you are looking for a religous type of ceremony I recommend contacting your local church where a pastor of preacher can officiate your ceremony. My style or officiating is non-denominational. My ceremonies are super special and intimate but not religious. However, if you would like prayer at your ceremony you have the option of having a family member or friend lead in prayer prior to my script.

Most of the time no.
If your wedding is outdoors or you have more than 40 guests I recommend it.
This must be provided by you via your sound system from a DJ or audio company.
What happens if you become unavailable due to illness or conflict?
In the many years of performing ceremonies, I have never needed to find a substitute .
However, if the need arises I do have a back up officiant.
Do you offer same sex weddings?
Yes, yes and 100% yes!!! I would be honored to make you Mr. & Mr. or Mrs. & Mrs.!
Do you stay for dinner after the ceremony?
Typically no, once I am done with the ceremony, I stay for pictures if asked, then I leave. Most of the time, I am heading to perform another ceremony.
