What style is the ceremony?
The elopement ceremony is basically in four parts.
1) Opening Words
2) Question of Intention (where you answer I DO)
3) Exchange of Rings and Vows
4) Closing Words / Pronouncement
Can we write our own vows?
Absolutely! OR I also provide a list of vows that are used in a 'repeat after me' format.
Is there a deposit to hold the date? Do you have an agreement?
In most cases, there is a Retainer Fee to hold the date, the remainder is due 10 days before.
You are required to fill out a Confirmation Form and I respond with an Email Confirmation.
The Email Confirmation is considered our agreement.
What do you wear at the ceremony?
I wear a black pants outfit, but not a robe.
What happens if you become unavailable due to illness or conflict?
In the 20+ years of performing ceremonies, I have needed to find a substitute only a few times.
Depending on the circumstances, I provide a substitute to perform the same ceremony or you have the option to find someone else.
