#1 — Choose Your Service

Planning a full Custom Wedding Ceremony? Complete the Wedding Inquiry Form.

Booking a Marriage License Signing, Elopement Ceremony, or Same-Day Certificate? Complete the Elopement Inquiry Form instead. I don't take calls before the right form is completed.

For Signing and Elopement couples, I text back promptly, most of what you need is already answered in the FAQ page you're redirected to, and a quick call is available if you'd like one.

Full payment secures your date, Zelle is my preferred payment method, and I'll send the details directly once we've confirmed your booking. Once payment is received, you'll sign a straightforward Service Agreement. Dates are not held without payment.

#4 — Get Married

I officiate your ceremony or signing, complete your marriage license correctly, and guide you through obtaining your Certified Marriage Certificate.
