The Signature Package is especially geared for formal, larger, or longer weddings and is ideal for couples seeking a sophisticated yet uniquely personal celebration that integrates the elements of a classic ceremony with your signature style. The core essentials will include a formal welcome and dedication, the exchange of vows and rings, your choice of accompanying thematic content and a corresponding address by your officiant, and of course your celebratory kiss and the signing of your marriage certificate. In addition, these packages creatively adapt symbolism or rituals uniquely chosen to reflect your secular viewpoint, cultural heritage, or spiritual or religious traditions, and include additional consultation with your officiant to ensure a highly collaborative process and the added personal engagement necessary to crafting a truly unforgettable “signature” ceremony.

The Signature Package includes:

  • Up to three in-person or videoconference planning consultations after you book your date, where we'll develop ceremony themes and a format that uniquely reflect you as a couple; select readings or other thematic content; focus on writing personalized vows (if desired); and round out your ceremony with the addition of carefully chosen signature elements - whether sand, wine, water, or handfasten ceremonies, a personalized blessing, or something else that expresses your personal, cultural, spiritual, or religious identity

  • Follow-up text, email, and phone contacts as we fine-tune your ceremony details; your officiant also will coordinate with a wedding planner, if you have one, to ensure your ceremony integrates with the rest of your event as it evolves

  • Formal rehearsal included (a rehearsal carries an additional $175 charge for all other ceremony packages, but is included in the price of a Signature package)

  • Preparation and filing of all necessary civil marriage paperwork

  • Typical ceremony length and format: 20-40 minutes | 10 or more bridesmaids/groomsmen (noted for guidance, not a minimum requirement)

The basic fee for the Signature Package is $800.  For weddings outside New York City, other options, small-wedding discounts, and additional specifics, consult the options and terms.
