I love listening to a couple's dreams for their perfect ceremony and hearing afterwards, "You exceeded our expectations!"

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We meet, collaborate on the ideal ceremony to meet exceed their expectations. If requested, I often provide pre-marital counseling. That process involvces several meetings following an online assessment called, "Prepare-Enrich." It's basically a great toolbox for maintaining a healthy marriage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in ministry for over 30 years, and I've done many different types of weddings (from beaches in San Diego or tropical islands to rooftop restaurants and stained glass sanctuaries). In addition to my bachelors, masters and doctorate, I have received training and certification in Prepare- Enrich premarital counseling, which I've done now for over 20 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I work with couples based upon their situation. My typical honorarium is $300, which includes pre-marriage counseling.

It's part of my ministry
What types of customers have you worked with?
Mostly Christian couples, but sometimes I've done interfaith weddings for people of other religions or no religion.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I did a wedding for cycling friends in a park. Everyone (guests included) rode their bikes before and after the ceremony. First time I officiated at a wedding in lycra. Ha!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Make sure it's somebody who listens well, and understands that this about getting it right for you.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Questions generally focus on the style of the service, number of attendants, music, vows, Scripture, etc. I have an exhaustive list of questions that I provide.
