What I Do for You
Here are the things I do for you to save time, money, frustration — and enough sanity to actually enjoy the process:
✔️ Ditch the Ceremony Details Panic
I’ll email you my popular 10-page Ceremony Planner and then we’ll go over your preferences together. You can come to my home in the Bellevue area, or we can handle everything virtually or by phone — especially helpful if you live out of state (or just hate Nashville traffic).
Couples love the Ceremony Planner. It helps personalize the ceremony and gives peace of mind knowing what to expect.
✔️ Marriage Prep on a Budget
You’ll get access to my Online At-Home Marriage Preparation Course — no charge — and it saves you $60 on your marriage license with the notarized certificate I send you. Most couples use it and enjoy it. Plus, it beats spending hundreds on a counselor or in-person program. Cha-ching!
✔️ “We Did It!” Proof Covered
I send your signed license back to the county clerk’s office where you got it. They’ll mail you a certified copy (or you can request it from them directly).
✔️ Real Deal Legal Signature
You get a legally recognized minister’s signature on your license — not just someone who got ordained online for a side gig.

Optional: Rehearsals
If I’m available, I’m happy to attend your rehearsal. Most couples find it’s not essential once we’ve gone over the Ceremony Planner together. Rehearsals are mainly for the attendants to get their cues down and work out logistics.
If you still want me at the rehearsal, the fee runs between $75–$125, depending on time and location.
Bottom line: I’m here to help make your “I do’s” as stress-free, fun, and memorable as possible.
