Personalized Ceremonies: I am able to create personalized and meaningful ceremonies tailored to the couple's preferences and values.

Communication Skills: I'm able to articulate the couple's love story and convey vows clearly.

Flexibility: I am flexible in working with different types of ceremonies, whether they are traditional, contemporary, religious, or secular.

Legal Knowledge: Both parties must be present to apply for a marriage license at the Auditor's office. No appointment is necessary. A current photo ID is required. You can view the instructions, information sheet, and application on the Clallam County Auditor's marriage license webpage. Applicants do not have to be residents of the State of Washington to obtain a marriage license. The license is only valid for weddings that are performed within the State of Washington.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Applicants 17 years of age must have their parent or legal guardian sign a release form. Applicants 16 years of age or younger must obtain a court order from the Superior Court. There is a 3 day waiting period beginning the first day after you apply for your license and ending the third day following the application. The license is valid for 60 days beginning on the 3rd day after application. There is a $62 fee for marriage licenses due at the time of application. State law prescribes who can perform a marriage ceremony, including an ordained minister like myself. Ministers from any state may perform marriage ceremonies, but the ceremony must be performed in the State of Washington.

Collaborative Approach: I am happy to work collaboratively with the couple to ensure their vision is brought to life.
