Ceremony Officiant Packages

Do you have a small, intimate ceremony in mind?

Are you looking for a large traditional wedding with all of your friends and family invited?

We have options for that!!

A non-refundable $100 retainer is all you need to save the date in my calendar!

I will travel within a 25 mile radius from Hamilton, Mi

(Outside of 25 miles? Just add $1 per mile!)

*Every couple is responsible for obtaining a Marriage License from the county you live in (or the county you're getting married in if you're not a Michigan resident) and I will happily mail the completed marriage license in to your county for you!

Premium United Love Story Ceremony — $600

Your love story, beautifully told and fully brought to life.

This is my most personalized ceremony experience — perfect for couples who want their story woven into the heart of their wedding day. I’ll learn about your journey through my Love Story Questionnaire and create a custom-written narrative that becomes the highlight of your ceremony. You’ll receive a one-of-a-kind script that reflects your relationship, your personalities, and the life you’re building together.

Whether you're celebrating at a large Michigan venue or in your own backyard with your wedding party beside you, this ceremony gives your guests a moment they’ll remember forever.

You will also receive a hard copy of your ceremony as a gift from me!

Includes:
• Your custom written Love Story 
• A fully personalized ceremony script
• Script delivered to your email 3–4 weeks before your wedding
• Arrival 30 minutes early
• Custom vows, unity rituals & readings welcome
• Marriage license signing & filing
• Emergency back-up officiant

United Ceremony — $450

A heartfelt, personalized ceremony — without the full Love Story add-on.

This option is perfect for couples who want something warm and meaningful, but not as in-depth as the Premium package. I’ll write a ceremony that feels like you, based on your preferences, values, and overall wedding vision. It’s ideal for venue weddings, backyard celebrations, or any event where you want your script customized — just not story-centered.

You will also receive a hard copy of your ceremony as a gift from me!

Includes:
• A personalized ceremony (no Love Story included)
• Script delivered 3–4 weeks in advance for edits
• Arrival 30 minutes early
• Custom vows, unity rituals & readings welcome
• Marriage license signing & filing
• Emergency back-up officiant

Optional: Add your Love Story anytime for $150.

Simply United Elopement — $300

Short, sweet, and stress-free — perfect for intimate Michigan weddings.

Designed for elopements, beach weddings, parks, or small gatherings, this ceremony keeps things simple while still feeling warm and intentional. I’ll use a beautifully written pre-scripted ceremony, allowing you to focus on the moment without customization or planning overwhelm.

You will also receive a hard copy of your ceremony as a gift from me!

**Please Note- this is not an option for a venue and not available for Saturday afternoon weddings!

Includes:
• Pre-written ceremony script
• Arrival 10–15 minutes early
• Marriage license signing & filing
• Optional witnesses for $50 each

Perfect for couples who want something meaningful and effortless.

United Sign-and-Go License Signing — $150

A quick, simple, courthouse-alternative marriage license signing.

If you’re looking to make your marriage legal without having a full ceremony, this option is for you. We’ll meet in Hamilton, Mi for a short “I do,” official pronouncement, and the signing and filing of your marriage license.  We will be in the parking lot of the Hamilton Food Center- dress accordingly! 

Includes:
• Legal “I do” wording and pronouncement
• Marriage license signing & filing
• Optional witnesses available for $50 each

Ideal for couples who want something fast, easy, and official.

Rehearsal Ceremony - $200

I will run through the ceremony flow with your wedding party, and how to seat parents.  That way you and everyone else will be able to know exactly what to expect on the big day!   Helps to alleviate wedding day jitters!

Rehearsals are  available Sunday- Thursday am or pm

And Friday am only. 

*There will be a $100 up charge for Friday pm

or Saturday am or pm.
