My fee includes all travel, including the rehearsal within 20 miles of 77433. We do over 20 miles all the time. There is a small fee to cover fuel/travel to your ceremony. The travel fee is incrementally higher as the distance increases. There are no other extra fees. The price you see is all you’ll pay.
This has never happened, but fortunately I have a deep bench of several licensed and experienced colleagues who I know would knock your ceremony out of the park as well as I would. Your ceremony will already be completely written by me, of course, and I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.
I recommend and gently insist on a rehearsal – that’s why it’s included in some of my services!
If your venue is not available for a rehearsal, don’t fret! We just need a space where we can imagine a “front area” and practice walking down a mock aisle and standing in a line. I’ve done rehearsals in city parks, living rooms, condo party rooms, and restaurants.
We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is as relaxed as possible on your wedding day. A rehearsal – anywhere – goes a long way towards that.
After we meet and you decide to book me, I send you an email with a link to an online payment portal. You can pay by credit card online. There is a 50% booking deposit. The remaining 50% balance is due after we send you the draft of your ceremony script. Then we will start building your story, editing along with you, and reaching out to your friends and family.
In Texas, both bride and groom need to apply in person for your license with few exceptions. I provide advice in applying for and registering your marriage with the County Clerk’s office of your choice.
