Your Private Ceremony!
I can prepare a simple but romantic private ceremony*, with the emphasis on
the two of you and your special moment together.
You can dress formally, elegantly, or casually (see pictures on this page) ...
You can have a completely 'traditional' ceremony, or something entirely personal ...
You may have a favorite reading that you would like to incorporate into your ceremony, or I can suggest readings based on what you tell me about who you are and your lives together up to now.
You can use 'traditional' vows, we can amend these to reflect your own beliefs, or you can write your own personal vows - this is really all about 'the two of you'!

* Sometimes called an 'elopement ceremony', or 'micro-ceremony', with just the two of you, or
with 2-6 immediate family members or close friends standing beside you ...

What I Charge:
- If you can tell me the location, I will give you a firm quote based on travel time & mileage ...
- My fee for a private ceremony will be less than what I typically charge, because they are a joy (!),
quicker (with no waiting, no procession, etc), and I don't have any responsibilities coordinating or directing wedding attendants, musicians, readers, or guests.
