Wedding officiant fees:

Hello. Many officiants "size up" couples to figure the maximum fee they may charge or quote higher fees as couples contact them when they have a wedding already booked - then contracting the prior couples and canceling. Others charge higher fees for larger weddings, when there is no difference in time involved regardless of how many guests are coming.
The fees below are the actual fees and there are no add-on or surprise charges. The only exception may occur if a wedding is very remote or far away to compensate for travel charges and time.
To contact us, just send an email or call anytime.
Good luck with your wedding plans and thank you.
