No
Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?
Yes, as long as proper permits are in order.
Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?
To a great extent, yes. I will not compromise on my beliefs though. In general, I am agreeable to most any form of ceremony, but I AM a Christian and there are some forms of ceremony that I am not comfortable with nor qualified to perform (i.e. Jehovah?s Witness and Wiccan rites).
Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?
There are no obligations on earth sweeter or more tender than those you are about to assume. There are no vows more solemn than those you are about to make. Your vows are the words and promises of your hearts, NOT mine. I will gladly assist you with writing vows meaningful to both of you or leave it up to you to take care of. The choice is yours. I only ask that I am provided a copy of the vows so that I may ?prompt? you during the ceremony if needed. I will not make changes to them at all without your consent.
Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?
I have literally THOUSANDS of selections to choose from and of course you can provide your own. No readings are compulsory, however.
Do you require that premarital counseling be done?
Premarital counseling? NO! A marriage ceremony is the solemnization of a legal contract. I have been doing this for more than 10 years now and I find that most adults that seek me out have it in mind what they are capable of within the realms of their adult relationship. There is no need for ME to tell anyone how to relate to another. You're a grown up for goodness sake. I am qualified to advise on my own life and that of my children. If you need counseling, you don't need to be married.
Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?
Yes, of course and that is worked into my fee. However, there are time and travel fees involved if the site is more than 20 miles from my home. In most cases, you will NOT need me to rehearse with you if you have a wedding coordinator. I will provide you with a copy of the ceremony and order of service from which you can arrange the walk, etc.
