Q: How do we secure our wedding date with you? A: To officially lock in your date on my calendar, I require a signed digital ceremony contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer fee. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your wedding day. Q: What payment methods do you accept? A: For security and instant booking confirmation, all payments are processed digitally through my secure online payment portal. I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Zelle, Venmo and Cashapp. Please note: I do not accept paper checks, cashier's checks, or mail-in certified checks under any circumstances. Q: Do we need to meet before the wedding? A: Yes! Creating a meaningful ceremony requires a personal touch. I require a brief 5-to-10-minute phone call or Zoom video consultation with all couples before finalizing any booking. This allows us to connect, discuss your vision, and ensure we are a perfect match for your special day. Q: Can we write our own vows or keep it traditional? A: Completely up to you! Whether you want to write custom vows, use standard traditional vows, or keep the ceremony entirely non-religious, short, and simple, I will completely customize the experience to match your unique love story. Q: Are you legally ordained to sign our marriage license? A: Yes. I am fully ordained through the Universal Life Church and legally authorized to perform marriages and sign marriage licenses in accordance with all local state regulations.
