What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Mount Pleasant, MI wedding officiant?
What I feel makes me special as a Wedding Officiant is the fact I am willing to learn about wedding traditions I may not be familiar about and happily to and I am willing to perform all kinds of weddings, not just certain kinds. I know there isn't many here where I live that are willing to broad out their spectrum of weddings and beliefs and I am willing to do so. I am willing to do all kinds of weddings. I thrive to make sure your ceremony will be what you expect and what you have dreamed of. I want to be affordable to those who may not otherwise be able to afford an officiant but also want to make sure I am charging what I feel I am worth as I go. I am aware, personally, not everyone can afford 400 or more for an officiant. I also know how it feels to be on a fixed budget or a low budget and just trying to get the needs booked.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I'm from Midland county, and I am willing to travel if needed for an additional fee (which is why my range varies like it does). I know Midland, Sanford, and Mount Pleasant fairly well.
