Ordained Minister in Newton, New Jersey
About Me:
It’s your day, why not have an Officiant who will make it all about you!
After studying Theology and Religion for 20+ years looking for the answer to the question, "Why are we here." What I have discovered is that no matter the culture, race, or creed, all people essentially have the same basic drive, to love and be loved in return. ( yes I stole that line from Moulin Rouge what of it, it's true!)
So If you are looking for someone to officiate your ceremony without being forced to swallow any personal or dogmatic interpretation of anything - I'm your man.
During the pre ceremony meeting we will work together to craft a one of a kind personalized script. If you want it said or done, then as long as we will not require either of us to come up with bail money afterwards then let's go for it!
If you want to get Married by the Ocean by Captain Jack Sparrow, " Then why not Lovey.Savvy?"
You want someone to dress in a full black traditional cossack using a thick Russian accent to please your Orthodox grandmother while still giving you and your future spouse the non church service of your dreams (Ваша приветственная бабушка).
Did your loved one request to be laid to rest at their Funeral by someone wearing a kilt handing out whiskey from a flask reminding everyone that you are here to celebrate their life, no problem Boyo.
What ever you want I can do it. * just please provide enough advanced notice to grow the beard you would prefer i.e the Russian Orthodox beard takes about 6 months, Captain Jack beard 4 months etc.
I charge a $150.00 flat fee for my services which includes, saving the date, pre service meeting, custom script, performance of said service
At our initial Pre Service meeting a $50.00 deposit will save your date and confirm you wish to move forward. the remaining $100.00 is due the day of the ceremony after we sign the documentation and you have both said, "I Do."
- Disclaimers, This does not include the cost of the wedding license which must be obtained in advance of the ceremony from the county clerk:

Also the cost of renting the specialty costumes would not be included so you would get the Darth Vader you are willing to pay for so to speak. You rent it, i'll wear it ;)
