1. Do you provide sample services for us to review?
Yes, we send several ceremonies of the specific type of ceremonies you would desire: Civil, Religious (Catholic, Protestant, Non-Denominational, Interfaith, and Spiritual), Inter-ethnic and Interracial. We also send an information sheet about "Clergy For Weddings", a sampling of where we have officiated, wedding option list and a contact sheet.
-
2. How much notice do you need to book us?
We book weddings anywhere between 1 day and 3 years. Although we receive one or two calls every year from wedding coordinators at facilities where we have had weddings asking us to come immediately to fill in for a minister or judge who failed to appear. The more lead time we have the better the chance we can guarantee a wedding officiant for a specific date, time and location as well as exactly the type of wedding ceremony which fits your particular needs.
-
3. How many clergy do you have available?
Six clergy that are licensed and ordained, experienced, ethical, people centered, and religious/spiritual. We service religious and civil ceremonies. We have both male and female officiates.
