Rehearsal: $50.00 (A ceremony with more than two attendants requires a rehearsal.)
Personalized Wedding Consultation and Ceremony
This ceremony will be written exclusively for YOU from the information I glean from
interviews, questionnaires, and e-mail communication. It will also reflect your personalities
and love in the vows you choose or write, the readings you choose; memorials, and rituals
that can be as unique and individual as you wish them to be! $350.00 -450.00
