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 couple of
witnesses/friends. Upto 6 people. Close by (ie: Springdale /
Virgin) or in Zion NP Canyon.
$325
for simple wedding of upto 20 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

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
