Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to meet the couple in person or on a Zoom call to establish a rapport with them so they’re comfortable with me being their invited guest as their officiant.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied 12 different religions during the course of one year and visited their place of worship and wrote my feelings and inspirations gathered from them.
I also read a dozen books on religion and spirituality and gave written reports on each one. I also attended and participated in mock wedding ceremonies and created my unique personalized wedding ceremony for couples through that experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
My fee starts at $400.00 for local weddings in New York City and additional costs are involved for travel to other areas.
How did you get started in this business?
I wanted to give back to help others and through a friend who recently became a wedding officiant felt that this was something that gave me passion and desire to be there for any couple who were in love and wanted to get married.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with every imaginable couple from Interfaith marriages to Christian, to Jewish, to non denominational couples, to Greek, to Indian to LGBTQ male and female couples to Interracial couples to elopements and ,vow renewals.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I just married a couple who had 150 guests and family at the renowned Metropolitan Club in Manhattan.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
That they take the time to speak and or meet with them to gather a sense of who they are and how comfortable they feel with that person.
They should also look at what couples that the officiant has married had to say about their experience with their officiant.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What they would like their ceremony to be that expresses their feelings.
