Wedding Sevices Fees
As an officer of the state it is a privilege to perform a wedding.
Usual services are as follows and are included free of charge.
- Meet bride, groom, and witnesses the night before (if possible), to do the paperwork and get it out of the way.
(I am one who believes the groom should not see the bride before the ceremony). - A keepsake certificate, 2 Certified Copies of your Marriage License (1 Laminated for framing and one to keep safe and for legal proof of your marriage),
and a laminated copy of your ceremony suitable for framing will be mailed after the ceremony. ($30 Value) - Perform Ceremony
- File the license with the City/Town of issue (In Person is best). It is the Officiant''s responsibility to file the completed license NOT the Bride or Groom.
If distance does not allow hand delivery, Certified Mail/Return Receipt will be used instead.
Names of florists [and bakers specializing in wedding cakes (coming soon)] are on our Wedding Services page.

These fees are just to cover the Notary Public's expenses due to rising costs. Some would rather do ceremonies for donations but found this is not practical. We thank you for your understanding.
