Once while discussing a world peace project someone asked Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi, "Where is all the money going to come from?", and he replied without
hesitation, "From wherever it is at the moment." Creating Affluence by Deepak Chopra |
My time is valuable and I charge my fees accordingly. The more time that I
work on a wedding ceremony, the more the fees will be.
| $300 - Simple Civil Ceremony | No editing, couple picks one passage or poem to be read by a friend or family. Traveling fees will be $1/mile from my home to the ceremony site and back. No rehearsal is included. |
| $400 - Edited Civil Ceremony | Couple picks one passage or poem to be read by a friend or family. Vows or Ring exchange sections are edited during one phone or in person meeting. Traveling fees will be $1/mile roundtrip. No rehearsal is included. |
| $500 – Edited Civil Ceremony with Rehearsal | Couple picks one passage or poem to be read by a friend or family. Vows or Ring exchange sections are edited during one phone or in person meeting. Traveling fees will be $1/mile from my home to the ceremony site/rehearsal site and back. Rehearsal is included |
| $600 – Customized Ceremony | All portions of the ceremony are edited and personalized. A Celebrant’s address is added to the ceremony that honors the couple and their personal and unique message of relationship, commitment and love. One or two personal meetings are included for getting to know the couple’s story and to work on the design of the ceremony. Required materials include a questionnaire that helps me design the ceremony. Traveling fees will be $1/mile from my home to the ceremony site and back. No rehearsal is included. |
| $700 – Customized Ceremony with Rehearsal | All portions of the ceremony are edited and personalized. A Celebrant’s address is added to the ceremony that honors the couple and their personal and unique message of relationship, commitment and love.

Examples for figuring out your possible fees:
Simple Civil Ceremony: $300 + traveling to Philadelphia (approximately 100 miles
roundtrip) $100 = $400
Edited Civil Ceremony: $400 + traveling to Philadelphia (approximately 100 miles
roundtrip) $100 = $500
Edited Civil Ceremony with Rehearsal: $500 + traveling to Philadelphia
(approximately 100 miles roundtrip x 2) $200 = $700
Customized Ceremony: $600 + traveling to Philadelphia (approximately 100 miles
roundtrip) $100 = $700
Customized Ceremony with Rehearsal: $700 + traveling to Philadelphia
(approximately 100 miles roundtrip x 2) $200 = $900
Associated Parking costs will be added to any of these fees.
