If you recommend a couple to me and we get to work together, I will rebate 10% of your fee to you! No expiration date! You can even refer people BEFORE your wedding (well, as long as we're working together!) What a great way to have the officiant you want (oh, that would be me, lol!) at a price that could be, well, zero!

What's good about weekdays is that your ceremony will cost half of what it would on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. You might consider having a private ceremony with the party the next day; you might consider having you nearest and dearest friends to a beautiful little restaurant or B and B. Maybe a cute little boat around New York City? The ceremony will still be gorgeous, personal and inspiring, and you'll save enough to buy the champagne!
