I minister in the Inland Empire, San Diego, Palm Springs and Orange County areas. Outside of these general areas may incur a travelling fee. I am also available for out of state services as long as traveling expenses are paid for.

Counceling

Many couples planning to get married are concentrated mostly on the wedding rather than the marriage. Though I do not require you to get pre-marital counseling, I highly suggest it. I would like to give you the tools needed to succeed at your marriage.

My basic rate is $50 per session, with a minimum of four sessions. I want to see you and your spouse thrive as a couple.

FAQs

How do I obtain a marriage license? The easiest way is to go to the Hall of Records in the county that you live in. It is a simple process and the cost is between $69 to$72. YOUR MINISTER CAN NOT SUPPLY YOU WITH ONE.

How long does it take to get a certified copy of my license? After the minister files your license, it takes up to 6-8 weeks.

How long is the ceremony? The basic ceremony is 15 minutes. If songs, readings, or poems are added, it may be 30 minutes.

May I design my own ceremony? You may. The ceremony on this site is basic with a few special additions such as ‘sand ceremony’, ‘wine ceremony’, or the addition of a unity candle lighting, etc. Feel free to add your own flair or customize it according to what your heart desires.

What about a rehearsal? Typically rehearsals are run by the wedding coordinators and it is not necessary for the minister to be there. If you desire to rehearse the ceremony with the minister, it is an additional $75.

Is marriage counseling mandated? Due to the stress that each marriage encounters in it’s early days, marriage counseling is recommended but not mandatory. There is a fee for pre-martial counseling.
