A vow renewal is a ceremony in which an already-married couple reaffirms their love for one another and their commitment to their marriage by either repeating their original wedding vows or by reciting new vows. Many times, a renewal is held on a significant anniversary as part of the anniversary celebration. Or it may be brought on by the end of a hard time in the marriage, the overcoming of a personal hurdle, a change in lifestyle, etc. Still others want a formal renewal ceremony following a civil ceremony or elopement. This may be the only opportunity to have their commitment to one another blessed and/or witnessed and celebrated by their family and friends (usually when budget, pregnancy or other circumstances warranted a small wedding). Because a vow renewal is not a legal ceremony, there are fewer do's and don't's than in a wedding ceremony.

Non-traditional couples-Yes, I will perform your commitment services.  This service is a recognition of the love you have for your life partner. A commitment service is the same as a "traditional"wedding with one exception - at this time due to state laws it is not considered to be a legal union. A commitment ceremony is also available with all the packages listed below.

For the couple who is seeking a simple wedding ceremony. Choose your ceremony from three or four samples. It includes a more elaborate section for the vows and ring exchange than the Basic Package. Since this ceremony is not personalized, it does not require preliminary work or meeting with the couple, the rehearsal may also be optional. Includes emails and telephone consultations and filing of the marriage license.

$200

For the couple who is seeking a more personalized wedding ceremony. Your final approval must be received no later than two weeks prior to the ceremony or additional charges will be incurred. Includes unlimited emails and telephone consultations to decide what elements you want in your ceremony, custom ceremony script, and filing of the marriage license.

All customized ceremonies start at this level. Increases in level and cost come about only if either 1) ongoing changes require ongoing work, or 2) I am given less than three weeks to prepare a complex ceremony. All customized ceremonies also include my expertise in coordinating what occurs at the ceremony. I work with your attendants, family, friends, service providers, and/or various site coordinators to make sure that there is a smooth flow from before the ceremony starts to its conclusion. This is the time for you to relax!

Some people want and need to be in very frequent "control" of all aspects of their wedding and have frequent contact with me. Others want to create a ceremony that is so complex, so different, or so unusual that it is obvious to everyone that there can never ever be another such ceremony. You know who you are. You may want your hand held up to the last moment. If this is the case, this is the level you should be thinking of. Please call me for details.
