Ceremony Fees
The ceremony fees for officiating a marriage ceremony are straight forward. This fee covers the creation of your custom ceremony program which is used to celebrate your unique ceremony, at times I am requested to do a full or partial Spanish translation for which there is no additional charge. After the ceremony I ensure that witnesses sign the marriage license then I secure the marriage license and make a copy which I will mail or if scanned, then e-mail a scanned copy to the couple and mail the original to the County Clerks office via USPS within 10 days.

My fee's are considered average for non-clerical wedding officiants and moderate for clergy in the Central Valley.
CEREMONY PACKAGES:
Please select the wedding package of your choice ONLY AFTER you have called me and I have availability for your wedding day, and we have met and you would like me to solemnize your marriage or service your commitment ceremony. Once you select the package this will immediately reserve your day. You can also reserve your wedding day by paying the deposit fee then payment of remainder balance is due 5 business days before the wedding day (this avoids the discomfort of later trying to receive payment for services rendered) which can be paid by check or money order. Feel free to call me with all your questions so I can assist your beautiful day.
