wedding officiant

Does not include marriage license or any permits that specific venues might require! For separately priced options, see our Ceremony Extras page!

Includes the following:

Wedding ceremony and officiant at location of your choice. We can help with location ideas based on your situation and needs. I have many ceremony examples to choose from (available upon request by e-mail), and I always encourage personal vows and customized ceremony wording!

Prompt and friendly communications that might just include a beach report, especially if you call my cell phone! (Most days....)

Use of Silk Bridal Bouquet. (If needed, just let us know!)

Sand Ceremony with a keepsake heart shaped bottle of sand.

Rose Ceremony Option (Couple provides rose and bud-vase if they wish to have the rose ceremony...)

Your wedding ceremony and vows on themed decorative paper, placed in a binder and given to the couple after the ceremony.

Marriage license filed with authorities.

Due to time and travel distances, and rising fuel costs, (and as it's been 4 years since I last raised my prices), for my fee for the following areas:

$275

Am I worth it?

While you might find cheaper (or more expensive) wedding officiants, you won't find any that are quite like me! Find out why!

In North Carolina

For our service area includes Oak Island, Southport, Orton Plantation Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach

Historic Downtown Wilmington and Wilmington area beaches (Wrightsville*, Carolina, Kure, and Ft Fisher)

*Please note that my fee for Wrightsville Beach are conditioned on the location. Beach houses (as long as you save me a parking spot), hotels and resorts are as stated above, but public parking can be a royal pain in the pettutie in the busy season, and I often have to arrive much earlier to hunt for parking (and end up walking a country mile) for locations like access #43. Depending on the time of year, I may ask for an additional fee if convenient parking is not available at your wedding ceremony location....

In South Carolina

Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach

Due to heavy traffic congestion, please note that I no longer travel to Myrtle Beach, Surfside and the Garden City Beaches, or points south. (But if you need me in the off season down there, give me a call...but in the summer, fuggedaboudit!)

Because available dates fill up quickly, we request a prompt deposit of $100 to reserve your date and time.

(Don't assume your inquiry date is reserved until you confirm with me.)

Depending on location, an additional $50-100 will be required for a rehearsal that the minister attends.

We're sorry, but we do not participate in rehearsals on Fridays after 4pm or on weekend dates.

We do have a free "how to have a rehearsal" information package available by e-mail to assist you with running your own rehearsal, and to save you some money and stress! As with most things in life, our listed prices are subject to change.
