Marriage License

It is the couple's responsibility to acquire a valid marriage license. The marriage license must be on the premises at both the rehearsal and the ceremony. Information about acquiring a marriage license in any Washington State county can be found here.

 

Timeliness

I will arrive at the wedding location at least 15 minutes prior to the rehearsal and one hour prior to the wedding ceremony, or as mutually agreed. Hours of service may be extended at no charge at my sole discretion and as my schedule permits.

 

Payment Terms

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due when the ceremony is booked and planning begins. The balance is due at the beginning of the ceremony. 

 

Refund Policy

If the date of the wedding changes, I will do everything possible to accommodate the date change and provide services as described here. In the event the new date cannot be accommodated, the 50% deposit is not refundable. I will do all I can to help you find an alternative officiant.

​

If the wedding is canceled, the 50% deposit is not refundable.

 

In the event I cannot perform the ceremony as planned due to hospitalization, auto accident, transportation breakdown/ disruption, natural disaster or other unforeseen circumstances on the day of the ceremony, every attempt will be made to provide for a substitute officiant who can provide substantially the same level of service. If a substitute cannot be identified, a 100% refund will be provided.
