Price List

Ceremony Packages

Type of Service & Brief Description

Custom Wedding Ceremony Package

$700

I’ll send a questionnaire to gather details about your relationship and ceremony preferences. After reviewing it together, I’ll draft the ceremony and help with vows if needed. We’ll finalize everything in a planning meeting before the wedding.

On the day, I’ll arrive 45 minutes early to handle paperwork. The ceremony lasts 15–20 minutes, delivered from a leather binder. Afterward, I’ll submit your license, confirm receipt with the clerk, and notify you.

Custom Vow Renewal Package

$650

This is the same as the wedding ceremony package but does not require me to do any paperwork or speak with the town clerk. If you’re looking to have a vow renewal ceremony or already married on paper and just need an officiant for your celebration this would be right for you. 

Paperwork + Small Ceremony Package

$500

I come to your home and sign your paperwork to make your marriage official. I officiate a brief ceremony, about 5-7 minutes, dressed in business casual, not a suit. (For longer or customized ceremonies, the custom and standard options also work for ‘at-home’ weddings.) Afterward, I drop off the license at the municipal office or mail it via certified mail with tracking. I confirm with the clerk that it was received and notify you. 

Paperwork Only

$350

 I will come to your home and sign your paperwork to make your marriage official. My aim is to be able to meet you any day of the week at any time that’s most convenient for you. Afterwards I drop off the license at the appropriate municipal building or mail the license through certified mail with tracking. I confirm with the town clerk that they have received the license and notify you. 

Standard Wedding Ceremony Package

$600

 I will read a standard script including the elements you’d like. The ceremony is generic and typically lasts 10–13 minutes.

On your wedding day, I arrive 45 minutes early to complete witness paperwork. I then deliver the ceremony, which usually lasts 15–20 minutes. Afterward, I submit the license to the municipal office or send it via certified mail with tracking. I confirm with the town clerk that it’s received and notify you.

Standard Vow Renewal Package

$550

 This is the same as the wedding ceremony standard package but does not require me to do any paperwork or speak with the town clerk. If you’re looking to have a vow renewal ceremony or already married on paper and just need an officiant for your big party this would be right for you.


Additional Fees

Additional Costs and Services

Travel Fee

Varies

 I am located in Sparta, NJ. My packages account for a moderate amount of travel, around 45 minutes each way. Should your location be a bit out of my normal range, I may have to add additional costs for my time, gas and tolls to get to your location. 

Rehearsal

$500

I will come and lead your bridal party through a rehearsal. The process takes about 40 minutes. I'll have everyone get in position and then we will go through the processional, any movements during the ceremony and the exit. I like to run through this two times. Many venues will provide someone who can help with rehearsal so this is often unnecessary, however if your venue doesn’t or you still need help with running a rehearsal this may be a good option. 

Dog Handling

Varies

If your beloved furry family member is going to be a part of your ceremony and/or you wish to also have them as a part of your photos, my wife and I may be available to assist before, during and after the ceremony. We can look after your dog while at the venue and bring them to their kennel/crate or wherever they are spending the night following the ceremony.  

Dance Floor Heroes

Free

If requested and dependent upon availability,  my wife and I will attend your reception and absolutely crush it on the dance floor. 

I aim to make your planning and understanding of the process as easy as possible. We can work on customizing any aspect of your ceremony and my appearance to match the style you're after.
