Planning & Design
I do everything possible to provide the most professional care and service for each couple, at the fairest most competitive price in the greater Detroit area. There are absolutely no hidden costs. Your custom designed wedding package includes your ceremony choice, add-on ceremonies, counseling (if needed), and peace of mind in knowing that you have a contract. Distance wedding locations may require lodging accommodations depending upon the time and location of the rehearsal and wedding. This is at the expense of the couple.
My Wedding Packages include the following professional services:
- 1 An informative pre-marital counseling program - in office or internet correspondence
- 2 Regular follow-up and counsel through phone or email
- 3 The Wedding Day Ceremony (performed by your professional clergy in professional attire)
- 4 A beautiful "Marriage Certificate" suitable for framing
- 5 A copy of your marriage license is kept in our files in case an unofficial copy is ever needed
- 6 Post-wedding counseling is always available
- 7. Add-ons to your ceremony (at no additional charge)
- 8. Ask about ways we can involve children from extended families, other family and guests in your ceremony.
