    Once your date is confirmed, a deposit is required to reserve your ceremony date, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks prior to the wedding.

  • Do you officiate bilingual wedding ceremonies in English and Spanish?

    Yes. I specialize in bilingual ceremonies that are delivered seamlessly in both English and Spanish so all of your guests can fully experience the ceremony.

  • What areas do you serve?

    I am based in Plainfield, New Jersey and officiate weddings throughout Union County and across New Jersey. An additional travel fee may apply depending on your venue location.

  • Can we personalize our ceremony?

    Absolutely. Every ceremony is customized to reflect your relationship, your values, and the tone you want for your wedding day.

  • Do you perform small ceremonies or elopements?

    Yes. I officiate intimate weddings and elopements for couples who prefer a simple and meaningful ceremony with just a few guests.

  • Do you provide marriage license signing services?

    Yes. For couples who only need the legal portion completed, I offer marriage license signing services as well as brief civil ceremonies.

  • How far in advance should we book you?

    Most couples book several months in advance, especially during peak wedding season. If your wedding date is approaching soon, feel free to reach out to check availability.

  • Do you attend the rehearsal?

    Rehearsal attendance can be arranged depending on the ceremony package and location. We can discuss your needs during the consultation.

  • How does the marriage license process work in New Jersey?

    In New Jersey, couples must obtain a marriage license from a local registrar before the wedding ceremony.

    The license is typically issued after a short waiting period and must be presented on the wedding day for the ceremony to be legally performed.

    After the ceremony, I will complete and sign the license so it can be returned to the registrar for official filing.

  • How long does a typical wedding ceremony last?

    Most wedding ceremonies typically last between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the elements you choose to include.

    The length can vary if you add readings, cultural traditions, or bilingual portions of the ceremony.

    During our consultation, we will discuss the structure of your ceremony to ensure it flows naturally and fits comfortably within your wedding timeline.

  • How do we book you as our officiant?

    Start by reaching out through the contact form to check availability for your wedding date. From there we will schedule a consultation and begin planning your ceremony.
