What are your fees?
An elopement package (couple plus two guests) starts at $275.00, the only additional fees are for travel outside Hampton Roads and if I need to purchase something to match your theme.
What about the rehearsal?
Rehearsals are usually held the day or night before the wedding. They help set everyone's mind at ease and lets them know where to stand and what to do and say. They are not a necessity, in fact, the majority of weddings I officiate are done without a rehearsal. If you would like us to attend and direct your rehearsal the fee is $275.00.
How long is the typical ceremony?
Ceremonies vary in length based on the elements included. The average ceremony range is 15 to 30 minutes.
What happens if my ceremony does not start on time?
In a perfect world everything would go as planned and start on time. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world and weddings often start late. Should you run late I will do everything I can to accommodate you. However, our ministers are scheduled for more than one ceremony per day and will not arrive late for another wedding so that yours can start late. If need be and the minister's schedule allows, we will leave your ceremony and return when we am able.
Will you stay for the reception?
In most cases your minister will not be staying for the reception.
I want to get married today (or tomorrow or this weekend), can you help?
The best answer I can give to the eloping couple is maybe. Give me a call (757-641-4010) and I will try to accommodate you.
How can I reserve my date?
All reservations are considered tentative until the couple has paid a deposit of fifty percent (50%) of their total invoice. This deposit secures my services for the date and time of your ceremony. In the event that you cancel the deposit in non-refundable.
How can I pay my deposit?
Deposits can be paid by check, cash, or credit card.
When is the balance due?
The balance is due on or before the day of the ceremony. If paid on your wedding date, the payment must be in cash.
Where do I get my marriage license?
Licenses are issued by the circuit court. Information on wedding licenses can be found at http://www.vbgov.com
How much is a marriage license?
The court charges $30.00 for a license, it is valid anywhere in the commonwealth for 60 days.
