Will you meet with us?
Absolutely, as many times as you want.
What can we expect at our first meeting?
I will bring samples of vows, readings, rituals,
a ceremony structure which is a beginning.
You can change and re-arrange all of the
ceremony elements. In your folder there
will also be “homework!” No grading!!
You will each get a questionnaire
to fill out that will help me to get to know you
better. You can tell me about how you met and
fell in love, what you love about each other,
and your future plans. I will write your
ceremony from your own words.
If you want to secure your date, we can
fill out contracts – one for you, one for me and
I will accept your retainer fee. If you want
to think about it, I will give you a self-addressed,
stamped envelope and, if you decide to retain
me as your officiant, you can mail the contracts
and initial fee to me at a later date.
How early should we book?
Dates can fill quickly – especially Saturdays.
Call to check your date 314-443-8654 or e-mail

A retainer fee is required to hold your date
Can you marry us on really short notice?

perform your wedding.
What is the cost?
Costs vary from $75 to $425
I will be happy to discuss payment plans,
if your budget is tight.
How do we pay?
Personal check or cash.
Will I need a rehearsal?
Rehearsals are a wonderful way to ensure that
everyone will know what they are suppose to do
for your big day, but this is up to you.
How long are rehearsals?
The actual rehearsal usually lasts about
20 – 30 minutes. Please allow about
30 minutes for your wedding party
to arrive and have a little time to chat
before the rehearsal begins.
Will you meet with us prior to the ceremony?
Absolutely, as many times as you want. We can also
Email and chat on the phone. I will re-write your
Ceremony until it is exactly the way you want it!

I will arrive at your ceremony location 30 minutes
prior to the scheduled start time.
What if our ceremony is running behind,
how long will you stay?
I allot approximately 2 hours total for your ceremony.
Can our children participate?
Yes, In fact I encourage you to include your children
in the ceremony. I have several beautiful rituals and
vows that work very well with children of any age.
Children from previous relationships sometimes
feel left out and this is a beautiful way to let them
know they are a member of this new family.
A special gift can be presented to the child
at this time.
Can our family (parents, grandparents etc.)
participate?
Yes, I think it is wonderful when many members
of your family and/or your friends participate
in the ceremony.
A member of my family has passed away.
Is there a way to honor their memory
at the ceremony?
There are several options available
to remember a family member who
has died or who cannot attend your
ceremony for any reason.
Can our pets participate?
What fun! Yes!
But please check with your
ceremony venue for their
regulations.
Do you perform theme weddings?
Yes, I can perform theme weddings.
One of my favorites
was a Pirate Wedding at a Tiki Bar!
(See the picture page.)
What do you wear?
I wear a black pantsuit, with a black lace jacket or a black dress with lace jacket.
Are you an ordained minister?
Yes, I am an ordained minister through
the Universal Brotherhood Movement
and I am a graduate and faculty
member of Celebrant Foundation
and Institute.
