Description

This package delivers a fully personalized wedding officiant experience for couples who want their ceremony to feel like them — warm, inclusive, and unmistakably their own. From the first planning call to the final pronouncement, the goal is a ceremony that puts your story at the center and gives every guest a clear sense of who you are as a couple. The officiant brings cultural fluency, an inclusive lens, and a calm presence so the ceremony unfolds smoothly no matter the venue or guest size.

An Inclusive Approach to Every Ceremony

Every couple deserves to feel seen on their wedding day. The approach here blends heart, humor, and a high emotional IQ to create ceremonies that reflect who you actually are rather than a generic template. Inclusive ceremonies are the specialty: LGBTQ+ couples, interfaith couples, multicultural couples, and couples who want a ceremony that honors more than one tradition all find a thoughtful collaborator here. Bilingual delivery in English and Spanish is available at every tier — the script can be fully bilingual, partially bilingual with key moments translated, or single-language depending on what fits your guests best.

Ceremony Types Served

As a versatile wedding ceremony officiant, the service covers a wide range of ceremony styles to match your beliefs, your families, and the feel you want on the day. Ceremony types served include civil union, commitment ceremony, elopement, interfaith ceremony, legal license signing, multicultural wedding, non-religious ceremony, Catholic, Christian, secular, and spiritual. If your ceremony falls outside this list or blends several traditions, that is welcome too — the planning consultation is where the structure of your specific ceremony gets shaped. Every script is custom, never copied between couples, and every script is shared with you in advance so you have time to read, edit, and request changes before the day arrives.

What This Tier Covers

This package adds extended travel into the offer so couples planning a ceremony beyond the immediate home region can book a dedicated officiant who covers logistics from departure through return. Travel and time on the road are built into the tier so there are no surprises in the final invoice. Wineries, wine country venues, coastal retreats, mountain elopements, and out-of-town estates are all comfortably within scope at this level.

What's Included in This Package

  • Initial planning consultation to align on tone, vows, and your story
  • Fully custom ceremony script written for you and shared in advance for review
  • Officiating your ceremony on the day, including processional cues and pronouncement
  • Rehearsal run-through with your wedding party so everyone knows the flow
  • Filing of the marriage license with the county, where applicable

Who This Package Is For

This package fits couples who want their ceremony to feel inclusive, deeply personal, and ready for whatever guest list shows up. It is a strong fit for LGBTQ+ couples seeking a licensed wedding officiant who has lived experience to draw from; bilingual couples who want both languages woven into the script; interfaith and multicultural couples blending family traditions; and couples planning a non-religious or secular ceremony who still want the day to feel meaningful and emotionally resonant. Couples planning an elopement, a courthouse-style ceremony with a witnessed signing, or a private commitment ceremony are also well served by this offering.

How the Process Works

After booking, the first step is a short discovery call to learn how you met, what your ceremony should feel like, and the practical details — venue, guest count, timeline, who is walking down, who is reading, what is being skipped. From there, a fully custom script is drafted and shared in writing so you can edit. A rehearsal run-through is scheduled before the ceremony so the wedding party knows the cues and timing. On the day, the ceremony is officiated end-to-end and, where applicable, the marriage license is filed with the county office after the ceremony so the legal side is handled without extra effort on your part.

Transparent Pricing for This Tier

The flat rate for this package is $550. The price covers the full ceremony service as described — planning consultation, custom script, rehearsal, ceremony day, and license filing where relevant. There are no hidden add-ons inside the listed scope; any additional asks (extra rehearsals, second language pages added late, very long ceremonies) are quoted clearly in advance so you always know the wedding officiant cost before committing. This transparency is part of the working style and is the reason couples recommend the service to friends planning their own celebrations.

  • A rehearsal run-through is included; the rehearsal is typically scheduled in the week of the ceremony at a time that fits the wedding party's availability.
  • For ceremonies requiring a marriage license, the couple is responsible for obtaining the license from the county clerk in advance; license filing after the ceremony is handled by the officiant where applicable.
  • Travel scope is set by the package tier; ceremonies outside the tier's travel range can be accommodated by selecting a tier with broader travel or by adding a travel fee priced clearly in advance.
  • Bilingual English and Spanish delivery is available at every tier; please flag the language preference at the planning consultation so the script can be drafted accordingly.
  • Cancellations are managed per the booking agreement; deposits secure the date and reflect planning time already invested if the date is later released.
