Are you ready to say, “I do!” to your happily ever after?
hello, you sweet souls
You’re getting married! Yay!
Whether you're getting married at a park, in your mom's backyard, on Hampton Beach, at the top of Mount Monadnock, or anywhere else in the Granite State, I would be honored and thrilled to officiate your elopement, commitment ceremony, micro-wedding, vow renewal, or small wedding in New Hampshire!
What does it cost?
I offer an affordable sliding scale!
The lower end of the scale is for couples getting married near Concord NH who are not picky about the ceremony or vows, can’t afford much, and qualify for one or more of the discounts mentioned below.
The higher end of the scale is for couples getting married at the furthest point of NH from Concord and have a lengthy guest list, want me to come to their rehearsal dinner, and would like to have their ceremony and vows custom written!
The Deposit - $100
First, there is the nonrefundable deposit, which will save your date on my calendar! See our Cancellation Policy for more details.
The Location
Next, you'll let me know about the location you chose for the ceremony. If your location is within an hour of Concord NH, I do not charge for travel. If it is outside the one-hour radius of Concord, there will be a $30 per hour travel fee.
The Ceremony
Then, you will choose which ceremony package would be best for your dream wedding experience. Continue scrolling to see the ceremony options!
The Guest List
I am happy to officiate your ceremony of 30 guests or less at no additional cost. If your small wedding has a guest list of more than 30 people, there will be an additional charge of $1 per guest.
The Rehearsal
I would be happy to join you at your wedding rehearsal for an additional $40.
The Discounts
Lastly, here are the discounts that I extend to you, with love (note: discounts do stack!):
• Young Parents (20 - 30 years old) - 7% discount per child
• All Parents of Children Under 10 - 5% discount
• Low-Income Couples & Seniors on Fixed Income - 20% discount
• Barefoot Wedding - 5% discount (no, I'm not joking!)
Bartering
You also have the opportunity to barter for my services. If your business sells goods and services that you would like to offer in exchange for my officiant services, please let me know! I can’t promise that I will need your goods or be able to use your services, but please try.
Your Ceremony
Here are four options for your elopement, commitment ceremony, micro-wedding, vow renewal, or small wedding ceremony and vows.
The prices for these are in addition to the deposit and do not include travel, the rehearsal, extra guests, or discounts.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me!

My "store-bought" package includes a ceremony and vows that I have written from my heart (no, I did not actually buy a script at the store). There are five to choose from:
Basic
The basic store-bought ceremony is simply about two human beings deciding to spend their lives together as a lawfully married couple. The vows are simple promises to love, care for, respect, and grow old with one another.
Traditional
The traditional store-bought ceremony speaks of the divine plan for the union to be followed through in holy matrimony. The vows are prayerful, solemn promises to eternally cherish and nurture. This package will work for any and all religions.
Alternative
The alternative store-bought ceremony is full of hints at the metaphysical aspects of life and the synchronicities required for this merging of souls to occur. The vows are deeply spiritual.
Natural
The natural store-bought ceremony is nature-based in that it references the earth, our oneness with the earth, and the path a couple will walk upon the earth together. The vows are a promise to marry as children of the earth and to love one another as you love the ground you walk upon.
Combination
The combination store-bought ceremony is a mixture of any two of the aforementioned store-bought elopement ceremonies. The vows will also be a combination.

In crafting a handmade ceremony and vows, we will meet to discuss your style, theme, tone and any quirks, metaphors, or stories you want to include. I will then create your perfect ceremony and vows. A rough draft will be submitted to you for your review and we will meet to make the final edits.
$200 + deposit, travel fees, and other add-ons

I would be happy to collaborate on writing the ceremony and/or vows. We will meet to write it together and we won't stop until it's exactly what you want. There will be an added fee of $15 for each meeting we have, whether it is in person or on the phone.
$80 + deposit, travel fees, and other add-ons

If you want to or have already written your vows, I'll just take care of the ceremony!
