Wedding People & Fees  

So You Want to Get Married ... Who do you need ? 

   

WEDDING OFFICIAL: If you would like me to Officiate at your wedding, I would be delighted and honored.  I like to work with couples to tailor the wedding ceremony to their beliefs and ideas. The ceremony can be traditional or contemporary; serious and/or with touches of humor. 

 

Skills:  I have officiated at many many weddings over the past eight years, and some pictures are shown  here - personal references are available. I was British born but am now an American Citizen.  Prior to moving to Utah, I was a school teacher for 13 years in England and a Computer Technology manager/ trainer. While both are unrelated to weddings, that experience has given me the confidence and ability to manage groups of people. I will  Officiate at your wedding in a confident and pleasant manner - getting everyone in the right place, at the last minute, if needed. My English accent, and especially my sense of humor, help people relax and enjoy the day.  

 

My fees are on a sliding scale:  

$225 for a couple who are eloping or for a couple with a few witnesses/friends. Upto 6 people. Close by (ie: Springdale / Virgin) or in Zion NP Canyon.

$325 for simple wedding of upto 30 people, simple, no rehearsal required. Close by (ie: Springdale / Virgin) or in Zion NP Canyon.

$425 for a "normal wedding" (if such a thing exists !Rehearsal included and will travel upto 40 miles (from Springdale / Virgin)

 

An hourly travel/hiking charge may be required for unusual wedding locations. 

Please note: Sorry - I do NOT perform  weddings on Angels Landing !

 

Payments: A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required before I begin working with you on the ceremony; the  balance is due before the wedding date.  (Payment by Personal Check, Cash or Money order)

 

WEDDING PLANNER: If you want to start your marriage in a relaxed and happy mood,. you need to try and avoid becoming a "bridezilla" on your special day !!!   I strongly suggest the use of a wedding coordinator - especially if you do not live very close by.  You can plan and arrange all you want but on The Day I suggest you hand the control to someone else. I recommend :

Tara Holmes from Zion Events  See: http://www.zionevents.com/

Or Laura Stagg from http://forevermoreevents.com (435-215-8801)

 

HONEYMOON SUITE:  In Springdale, I think the most romantic Honeymoon Suite can be found at Under The Eaves Inn/Bed & Breakfast, complete with a wood burning stove for chilly winter nights.  See: www.under-the-eaves.com (435-772-3457)

 

WEDDING PARTY RENTALS:  Zion Party Rentals has everything you will need, and if  "GT" hasn't got it, he will get it ! See:. http://www.zionpartyrentals.com/
