Rehearsal Attendance
Our Officiant services include a virtual Ceremony Talk-Through, where we’ll go over every moment of your ceremony—from walking down the aisle to your grand exit—so you feel totally confident heading into the big day.
In-person rehearsal attendance/coordination is not included (with the exception of our Signature Plus package and destination weddings), but can be added as an upgrade for $200 + travel (if applicable.) Subject to availability.
Destination Weddings
Dreaming of saying I Do somewhere exotic? I’d love to come with you! Domestic and international destination ceremonies are available. Message me today for a personal quote.
The Booking Process
After we connect during your virtual Vibe Check and you feel we’re the right fit, I’ll send your personal proposal. This proposal walks you through the entire process and includes everything you need to lock in your date:
Your Wedding Agreement
A clear outline of your ceremony details, location, selected package and optional extras, and what you can expect from me as your officiant. You can review and e-sign it right inside the proposal.
Your invoice
A 50 percent non-refundable retainer is due at booking to lock in your date, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your ceremony.
Once your Agreement is signed and your retainer is submitted, you’re officially booked and we can begin creating a ceremony experience that feels personal, meaningful, and completely you.
What It's Like To Work Together
Stay Organized
As your officiant, my job is to make sure you're fully prepped and zero percent stressed for one of the biggest days of your life.
I'll be sliding into your inbox with gentle reminders and updates—whether it’s finalizing your ceremony script, confirming day-of details, or reminding you when to apply for your marriage license. Basically? I’ve got you.
Support From "Yes" to "Kiss"
Unlike some officiants who check in once and then show up on wedding day, my team and I stay connected from the moment you book to your walk down the aisle.
You (and your planner or vendor team) can reach out anytime via email, text, or phone. We’re here to make sure everything runs smooth, calm, and ceremony-perfect.
Ceremony Talk Through
About a week out, we’ll hop on a quick call—video or audio—to walk through every moment of your ceremony. If you choose our Signature Plus option, an in-person rehearsal is included upon request and subject to availability.
From the first step down the aisle to your newlywed exit, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. No surprises. Just confidence!
Wedding Day Vibes
We arrive 45 minutes early to check in, review your license, and handle any last-minute changes.
We touch base with your photographer videographer and DJ so cues and timing are on point.
If nerves hit, you blank or lose your place, we’ll be right beside you guiding you through it all.
After I Do
We handle the legal stuff—filing your marriage license with the County Clerk right away.
You’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as it’s submitted (usually next business day).
We’ll present you with a beautifully polished final copy of your wedding ceremony — a timeless keepsake you can cherish and revisit for years to come.
FAQ
What's the Difference Between the Signature and Signature Plus Ceremony?
Our Award Winning Signature Ceremony is built from my core ceremony framework and tailored to your style, your vibe, and the amount of personalization you prefer. It’s perfect for couples who want a warm, meaningful ceremony without extra layers, keeping things simple, heartfelt, and beautifully you.
Our elevated, Signature Plus option is a fully supported, concierge-style ceremony designed for couples who want every meaningful touch. This option includes rehearsal coordination, optional personal vow coaching support, ceremony strategy session, a complete ceremony draft with refinements, and optional 60-minute premarital session to start your marriage strong.
If We Book the Signature and Change Our Mind Later, Can We Switch to Signature Plus?
Absolutely! If at any time you decide you'd like to upgrade your package, let us know so we can adjust your invoice accordingly while adding all the bells and whistles.
How Long Will Our Ceremony Be?
Honestly? You set the vibe. Your ceremony can be as short or as detailed as you want.
It really depends on things like whether you’re sharing personal vows, adding a unity moment, or including a special reading.
That said, most of my Love Story Ceremonies run about 19–23 minutes, while the Classic ones average 12–16 minutes—just long enough to feel meaningful without dragging on.
Do We Have to Be Local To Work With You?
Not at all! I can officiate wherever love takes you—whether that’s here in Michigan, across the U.S., or somewhere tropical and passport-worthy.
All Premarital Counseling sessions are virtual too, so we can connect from anywhere, anytime.
We're Planning on Booking Both Premarital Counseling and Officiant Services. How Soon Will Our Sessions Start?
Pretty much whenever you’re ready! Most couples like to dive in soon after booking so we have plenty of time to connect, explore your relationship dynamics before designing your wedding ceremony.
How Do We Book You?
That's easy! Just click on the Book Your Vibe Check button above and complete our contact form. After we confirm availability, we'll send you an email where you can book a free Vibe Check consult to see if we might be a good fit.
Already know you'd like to work together? You can forego the call and begin the booking process with 50% down and balance due 30 days before the ceremony.
