One of the main "jobs" of a professional Wedding Officiant is to make sure that the ceremony
of your dreams is orchestrated in a manner that will make the both of you very proud. As you are aware a great wedding
takes planning, and coordination. The success of the event does not happen by chance,
we have to work together to achieve the perfect end result.
Reverend by Request offers 3 different types of Wedding Service Packages with our Packages starting at $250 (for the Elopement Package, please click on the Elopement Tab). All packages include a keepsake Wedding Certificate with the names of the Bride and Groom and signed by the
Wedding Officiant (Wedding Reverend) and Witnesses. The Wedding Officiant will also mail in the Wedding License
to the County in which you were married in. Traveling fees may need to be added depending on the distance the Minister has
to travel.
Package 1: This ceremony will take
about 10 to 15 minutes and is intended for those wishing a simpler ceremony, such as a Civil Ceremony, on site Elopment, or
if this isn't your first marriage. This package includes the exchange of the wedding vows and rings. Very
often the ceremony only includes the Bride and Groom with a few relatives and/or friends. The price for this package
is $250. We will go over the basics of the ceremony on the phone or at our office, and then meet shortly before the
wedding. This package does not include a rehearsal meeting.
Package 2:
This ceremony will take about 20 to 30 minutes. We find this package most popular with couples that want a little bit
more in their ceremony. This package will include the initial phone conversation or a short personal meeting just prior
to the wedding to cover the basics of what they want included in the ceremony. This package will allow you the time
to have some added venues like the Lighting of the Unity Candle, or Exchanging of the Roses. You can also choose to have a reader at your ceremony. The fee for this package starts at $350. We will
go over the basics of the ceremony on the phone or at our office, and then meet shortly before the wedding. This package
does not include a rehearsal meeting but may be included for an additional fee.
Package 3:
This ceremony may take up to 45 minutes or longer and is chosen by about 83% of our clients. The length of time
depends on which additional traditions you may want. This would be the package for you if you wanted a full Christian
Ceremony with Communion service. This package includes everything in Package 2 plus you can add some or all of the following:
Religious service, communion for the Bride and Groom; Bridal Party; family and friends. You may also opt to
have additional readers and have some personal information about the couple announced by either the minister, friend or a family
member.
Personalized and customized vows to each other. In order to do this we will need to meet personally
at our office. We will go over a check list that we use plus anything additional you may think of.
A completely customized wedding "script" will be created for you, with all of the special choices included
that you will be able to use at your rehearsal. About 1 to 2 weeks before the wedding (time permitting) I will email
the "script" to you so you can modify it if needed. I will attend and also help assist in the conducting of
the wedding rehearsal (if there is one), and walk everyone through their parts of the ceremony. As a result, the wedding
ceremony will be as wonderful and meaningful as expected.
It usually takes about 8+ hours on my part to prepare
for a full-service wedding with this package. The price for this package starts at $500.
