11. Officiating Ceremonies

12. Officiating Services
The Ceremony is THE most important
aspect of a wedding, but it is often the
most overlooked.
Let us help you in selecting the type of
ceremony that it is right for you! We
offer traditional, modern, nontraditional
and customized wedding ceremonies for
any denomination! Valerie will work
with you personally to create the
ceremony that is right for you! Want to
write your own vows? That is perfectly
acceptable! Want a Unity Candle or
Sand Ceremony? We can make it
happen! We've even done ceremonies
with Unity Fish!
Because each Ceremony is unique and different,
prices cannot be displayed on the site. However
our starting rate for a basic ceremony is $100.00
and includes the filing of the license with the
court.
Contact Valerie today and let her know how she
can help make your ceremony beautiful,
memorable, and everything you always dreamed
of.
"With warmest wishes
for the best in life
as you both look forward
to a shared future
of love, friendship,
and the wonderful closeness
that is marriage." Author Unknown
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
