What's Included

- Pre-ceremony meetings to plan the details
- Returning the license after the wedding
- Venues further from San Francisco
- Tailored rituals for your ceremony
Tailored Rituals
Tailored rituals let you add meaningful moments to the ceremony. These can draw on family heritage, faith traditions or something personal you create together. In pre-ceremony meetings, the officiant can help you choose, adapt and explain each ritual so guests understand why it matters, keeping the ceremony personal without feeling long or overly formal.
Ceremony Types
- Interfaith ceremonies
- Non-religious ceremonies
- Civil union ceremonies
- Vow renewals
- Ceremony rehearsals
Pre-Ceremony Meetings
Pre-ceremony meetings are where the ceremony takes shape. You share how you met, what you value and the tone you want, and the officiant turns those details into a script. These meetings are also a good time to discuss vows, readings, who will take part and how the processional and recessional will flow at your venue.
Marriage License Handled
After the ceremony, the officiant takes care of returning the license, one of the steps that makes your marriage official. Handling it for you removes a task from the busy days after the wedding. Ask during planning what you need to bring on the day so the license is completed correctly and returned on time.
Venues Beyond the City
This tier is designed for ceremonies at venues further from San Francisco, such as wineries, coastal sites or gardens around the Bay Area. Share your venue name and location when you inquire, so the officiant can confirm availability and travel for your date. A separate City Hall package is also offered by the same officiant.
Choosing This Package
This is the highest of three ceremony tiers from the same officiant, alongside a City Hall package and a standard custom ceremony. Choose this tier when your venue sits further from San Francisco or when you want tailored rituals woven into the ceremony. If neither applies, one of the other tiers may suit your plans.
Pricing
This ceremony package starts at $1,536 per event. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details. This price covers one event on a single day. The vendor has not published how many hours it includes, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book.
Writing Your Vows
Many hosts want personal vows but are unsure where to start. Pre-ceremony meetings are a good time to talk through ideas, length and tone, and to decide whether you will read vows aloud or repeat them after the officiant. Planning this early takes pressure off the final weeks and helps the whole ceremony feel balanced and personal.
Rehearsals and Guest Experience
Ceremony rehearsals are among the services offered, so ask whether a rehearsal should be part of your quote, especially for a larger wedding party or a venue with a complex layout. A short rehearsal helps everyone know where to stand and when to walk, so the ceremony runs smoothly and your guests can simply enjoy the moment.
How to Book
Send your wedding date, venue, guest count and any rituals or traditions you want to include through the booking request. The officiant reviews your details, confirms availability and outlines the pre-ceremony meetings, so you can plan a wedding ceremony that feels personal from the first words to the final kiss.
