No worries!  We will help you with customizing  your tailored service to include all State requirements. This can be done via phone/e-mail if you are from out of state or in person if living here in Alaska.

Only on our popular and elite packages. If you purchase either of the two packages  we provide you with a beautiful copy of the service. The elite package comes complete with a beautiful wedding book with your printed service.

Photography is fine throughout the service as long as they are not intrusive during the service itself and if in a church or chapel no flash photography during the ceremony itself, only before and after the service.

We do offer premarital coaching to anyone we marry but we do not require it. We are always more than happy to help you out with any questions you may have. If you would like a premarital counseling session just let me know. 

Once we have agreed to perform your ceremony, we consider this a very sacred trust. We work closely with many different wedding officiants so that even in the event of an emergency, we will be able to find rather than someone great use qualified to perform your ceremony. To date, we have never had an emergency situation prevent us from officiating a wedding. The bottom line is that if you book us for your wedding, you will get a beautiful, memorable wedding that you and your family will remember fondly for years to come.

We can help you plan your wedding. We would be more than happy to refer you to a planner, if you are looking for someone to put the whole thing together.

This is talked about under OUR FEES. If you have any questions or concerns about this we would be happy to quote you a price. Just e-mail us and we will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss it with you. Please use the contact page.

Yes, you must have one Witness that is at least 18 years of age. If you do not have anyone else attending your wedding (elopement) you can use your photographer. If you need us to provide one witness, please let me know as soon as possible. Visit our fees and pricing page for detailed costs. 

We generally wear clergy attire or a suit and tie.

Most ceremonies are between 15-30 minutes, depending on what the couple wants to include in the ceremony. The length of the ceremony is totally up to you. The length depends on many variables including: will someone read a poem or sing; how many people in the bridal party processing in and out etc. You are not charged based on the length of your ceremony. It should be only as long as you want it to be.

See Types of Ceremonies. We have done almost every kind of ceremony that you can think of: traditional, alternative, non-denominational, Christian, religious, same-sex, spiritual, civil, second marriages, vow renewals and more. We will customize your wedding to be exactly what you want it to be. You will not be disappointed.

We can officiate weddings wherever you are getting married, including churches, reception halls, parks, outdoors, or even at your home. Most of the time, the ceremony is held right at the reception site.

Yes. Over the years we have performed many ceremonies in parks, gardens, town gazebos, rivers and ocean fronts. We would be happy to recommend some of our favorite sites depending on the size of the wedding and the location relative to where the guests are coming from. Since it is impossible to predict the weather, we recommend that an alternate place be picked in case of inclement weather on the wedding day. The invitations should specify the outdoor location.

Couples have different feelings on this issue. Most couples find that a rehearsal is not necessary as long as the minister/officiant is experienced and knowledgeable. Other couples choose to rehearse, but do it without the minister/officiant since the minister/officiant knows their part and the couple just wants to familiarize the wedding party with the wedding site and their part in the ceremony. To add to your comfort level, consider the following: We make sure we arrive early to the wedding site, usually one hour before the wedding begins, so that we can go over anything which needs to be addressed. We have the entire wedding script in front of us during the wedding ceremony, so that there are no last-minute surprises. We do many weddings each year so we get plenty of rehearsal officiating in front of a live audience.
