My Services
I am professional and will make your wedding day special. I arrive 20-30 minutes prior to your ceremony for any final preparations, meet with your witness, sign the Marriage License and collect my fee prior to the wedding. After the wedding, I will provide you with a Certificate of Marriage and a copy of your beautiful and romantic wedding ceremony as a special keepsake.

Sand Ceremony
A wedding sand ceremony is very popular in California. A sand ceremony consists of two or more vases of different colored sand slowly poured alternately into one vase and leaves you with a beautiful design. It is the uniting of two people and/or a family into one. Children are encouraged to join in the ceremony. An additional fee of $25.00 will be added to your Contract. I do not provide the vases or the sand. They can be ordered online or purchased at Michael's Craft Stores.
Filing Your Marriage License
It is my duty as your officiant to file your Marriage License with the San Diego County Recorder Clerk's Office within 10 days. It takes 2-4 weeks to be recorded. If you need a copy mailed to you or a certified copy, it requires your signatures to be notarized and an additional filing fee of $15,00 made payable to San Diego County Recorder Clerk's Office. You may also file the License yourself.
Cancellation Policy

If for some unforeseen reason the wedding cannot start within the 30-minute time frame (from the original ceremony time on the Contract), it will require an additional $50.00 cash prior to my officiating your wedding ceremony.
