How unique would you like your ceremony to be?  We can provide anything from a 10
minute, very basic ceremony in our home, to an elegant and completely unique hour long  
ceremony including customs or traditions from several religions or nationalities. It’s all a
matter of what the two of you would like! We always try to reflect the ideas and
personalities of each couple.






Listed below are the Ceremony Packages we offer.  Each package includes its own
features and personalization as described,  as well as the preparation and filing of  
marriage licenses with the county clerks' offices.  With the exception of the Elopement
Ceremony,  ceremonies will be performed at the Bride and Groom's chosen location.  
Though there are PayPal buttons available on this page for the simple wedding ceremony
packages , we suggest you do not make any payments until you have discussed options
with us and have received a quote for the services you desire.

15 minutes long for the actual ceremony part.)   Pre-wedding consultation is done by

every effort to help you take a few pictures.  The ceremony fee may be paid in advance
