Planning a secular ceremony can be particularly daunting task?because you don't have a religious tradition to prescribe what the ceremony should look like. Please take a look at the Sample Ceremonies on our sister site to get some ideas. You can mix and match different ceremonies and readings to create a celebration as unique as you are.

I will be happy to help if you have any questions.

I feel that being a Celebrant is a public service and not a money-making venture. However, my time, like yours, is valuable. Basic fees are listed below but may not include things like extra travel.

Typical Wedding - $100? (non-refundable $50 deposit required to secure a specific date)
Includes initial consultation, email help with customizing the ceremony, rehearsal, and ceremony

Quickie Wedding - $65? (non-refundable $50 deposit required to secure a specific date)
Simple ceremony with no rehearsal using the Civil Ceremony or Elopement Ceremony

To see the cost of a ceremony plus travel to various locations in southeast Idaho, please look at the officiant page on IdahoWeddingCelebrations.com.

I don't feel that lack of funds should prohibit a couple from having a meaningful ceremony. If the rates above are truly out of your budget, contact me and we will work something out.

If you would like a ceremony other than a wedding, please contact me for rates.
