Thank you for your interest in my services as Wedding Officiate.  As an Ordained Minister in the Unitarian Faith, and I have performed hundreds of weddings on Gulf Coast beaches, at banquet halls, in private homes, chapels, etc.  I am available on Anna Maria Island, Florida, (and surrounding areas) where my rate is $195.00.For this, you can have any kind of ceremony you would like as we work together to make it personal and unique just for you (these are some of the most important words you will say to each other in your lifetime!).

After the deposit is received, I forward sample wedding ceremonies, tips on writing your own vows (if you are so inclined) and samples of readings, scripture and verse popular for weddings, to help us get started.

We can personalize the ceremony even further by adding a lei exchange, blending of the sand, gift of roses to the mothers, etc., when you provide the supplies.  (If children are included, we have many options there as well).

Of course you can just pick a ceremony, making any changes you like.  It's totally up to you.

Booked first come, first served, I secure the date for you once a non-refundable $100.00 deposit is received.  The balance is due two weeks prior to ceremony date.  I will receive the marriage license from you anytime prior to ceremony (By U.S. law, the Bride and Groom must apply for and receive the license to marry in the State where the Wedding will take place).

In addition to my preparing and performing the ceremony, the price includes a Keepsake Wedding Booklet with the ceremony words printed on artful paper.  Also, you would receive a Certificate of Marriage suitable for framing, and I file the signed Marriage License with the county (to make it legal!). 

Please let me know if I can be of service or if you have any questions.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Reverend Jill
