Heartland Signature Ceremonies is booking Holiday weddings NOW!
It is not too soon to reserve your Valentine's Day 2009 Wedding!
Please feel free to contact me for your initial consultation. I am happy to converse via email, phone or where convenient, face to face. This will give us the opportunity to review some important considerations regarding ceremony style, personalization, locale and fees. The initial consultation will allow me to address any questions or concerns you may have. You will never be put under any pressure to make a decision. I understand that couples are often times interviewing more than one officiant. However, please consider that a ceremony requested on short notice will require a timely decision and that a requested date is not secure until a retainer is placed.
If you choose to retain my services for a Basic or Classic Ceremony, your booking date becomes secure once a non-refundable retainer of $75 is submitted along with a signed contract. Please note: A fully custom Signature Ceremony requires a $100 retainer.
Dates are not held without a retainer. Your retainer can be made using the Paypal button near the bottom of this page. Please remember you must reaffirm your date as available prior to placing a retainer. Your retainer is non-refundable. Why? When I secure your date, I have in most cases set aside the entire day for you. By the time I receive a cancellation I have often turned away several other requests for that same date and invested several hours in communication and preparation of your ceremony. The non-refundable retainer assures me of a portion of compensation in the event you cancel.
A word on any balance due: If your balance is over $200 I will invoice you for the remainder of fees which must be paid in full two weeks prior to your ceremony via your credit card or bank account, no e-checks. A balance of $200 or less may be made in cash the day of your ceremony or prepaid via an invoice upon request. I do not accept personal checks or credit cards on site the day of services. Please have any balance due available along with your marriage license upon my arrival.
Standard Fees are listed below. Adjusted fees may be determined on an individual basis. Generally, charges do not deviate from base fees aside from mileage.* In the case of extensive travel or overnight lodging aditional fees will be incurred. Please remember: Dates are not held open without a retainer. Please reaffirm availability prior to placing a retainer.
Your FREE Initial Consultation can generally be conducted via email or telephone. If you are within a reasonable area of travel I am more than happy to meet with you personally.
