Fees
Ceremony fee: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
regulates the fees a Justice of the Peace may charge for services.
In strict adherence with those guidelines, my fee for officiating
at a wedding ceremony, renewal of vows ceremony, or civil union
ceremony is $125.00. For any ceremony that takes place in my home
town of Gloucester, the fee is $75.00. A fifty (50%) percent non-refundable
deposit is required to secure the date, with the balance due and
payable on the day of the wedding.
On your wedding day, I will organize the members of the wedding
party for the processional and recessional, direct special guests,
including the readers, to their assigned seats, cue the musicians
to begin the processional and recessional music, and offer assistance
to the photographer and videographer, if needed.
Pre-nuptial conference: The prenuptial conference
provides an opportunity to introduce myself to you. The main objective,
however, is to get to know you in an effort to create a highly customized
ceremony that reflects your personality and style. You may select
one of my ceremonies, or choose to write your own. There is no additional
charge for assisting you with the writing of your ceremony and vows.
The conference also allows us to begin planning and discussing the
details of your ceremony, including musical selections for the processional
and recessional, readings, and, if desired, the incorporation of
special traditions such as sand ceremonies, unity candles, hand
fastening ceremonies, and breaking of the glass. There is no fee
for this conference.
Rehearsal fee: We will perform a dry run of the
ceremony including the processional, recessional and readings. My
fee for a wedding rehearsal is $125.00 or, if in Gloucester, $75.00.
Extra costs: I do not charge travel fees. However,
parking fees, if applicable at your ceremony site, are extra. In
addition, there is no limit on the number of phone calls or emails.
