FAQ

• Travel up to 25 miles from our Lake Mary Florida base is no charge.
• There are additional fees for ceremonies taking place more than 25 miles away.
• These fees are based on exactly how far away the ceremony is.

This has never happened, but fortunately we have a deep bench of several licensed and experienced colleagues who we know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as we would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by us, of course, and we would call on one of our colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what we have created together.

We recommend a rehearsal.

If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t worry! We can provide a rehearsal for you by phone or zoom call.

During the rehearsal, we’ll go over everything from your entrance to who has the rings- to your ring exchange and vows. We’ll guide you through your ceremony flow.

We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – in some form or fashion – goes a long way towards that.

Having said that, if your venue is available and you prefer us to be there in person and we are available for your rehearsal, then it can added to your package ($150 Monday through Friday or $175 Friday, Saturday or Sunday).

We ask for a 50% booking deposit as a retainer, and the remaining 50% is due 2 weeks before your wedding date.

We currently accept cash, personal check, cashier’s check, money order, Venmo or Zelle payments.
