WEDDINGS. UNIONS. VOW RENEWALS. ETC.

There are as many varieties of unions as there are couples interested in taking that step. At Loving Ceremonies, I want your ceremony to reflect YOU. I have sample ceremonies available, which I have written, or I will work with you to come up with the perfect words to fit your wishes.

Weddings

For me, marriage is about love, & love is about those committed to sharing it. I am licensed to perform weddings on behalf of two people who are legally able to join in marriage in the states of Missouri and Illinois. While I am willing & able to perform nearly any wedding ceremony, the legality is always dependent on current marriage laws & is beyond my control.

Family Unions

Family Union ceremonies include all members of the family to show committment to the unity, love, strength and encouragement of the family as a whole. Whether your family has experienced difficulty and would like to strengthen its bonds, or you want to take two separate families and become one, family union ceremonies make everyone feel a part of the family goal.

Vow Renewals

A renewal can be as personal & private or as elaborate as the couple would like.

Regardless of whether you want a backyard ceremony with just the two of you, or a venue that includes a ceremony & reception, I’m here to help you re-state your commitment to one another.

PLEASE NOTE: First price in parentheses ( ) is for weddings held in Jefferson County areas (Festus, Crystal City, Hillsboro, Pevely, Herculaneum, DeSoto, etc.). Second price in brackets [ ] is for weddings held outside that area (St. Charles, Alton, St. Peters, St. Louis City, Farmington, Fredericktown, Perryville, Ste. Genevieve, Potosi, Eureka, Pacific, any city in Illinois, etc.).

DEPOSIT ($25): A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $25 will be required to book a specific date and time, with the remaining balance due immediately following the ceremony (you may want to put cash or check in the envelope with the marriage license that I will be mailing since it will be very hectic after the actual wedding); payment arrangements are available, if needed. Tips are welcomed, but not at all necessary.

BUDGET PACKAGE ($100) [$150]: The budget package is your best option for a small and quick ceremony with a few or no guests (other than two witnesses), and when no rehearsal is required (please see “Extra’s below).

Total Time: 1-2 Hours

MILITARY PACKAGE ($50) [$75]: I discount the budget package to $50 for members of the military, and waive the extra fee for last minute weddings for members of our military who suddenly find themselves available to wed during an unexpected leave. All other packages receive $15 off, with proof of military service (please see “Extras” below). Total Time: Varies

BASIC PACKAGE ($150) [$200]: Choose one of my sample ceremonies, fill in the blanks and relax, OR write your own vows (please see “Extras” below). Price includes initial meeting to discuss, a meeting to finalize and/or rehearse, and ceremony. Total Time: 2-4 Hours

DESIGN PACKAGE ($200) [$250]: Choose a personal service, written by me. Price includes initial meeting to discuss, time for writing service, meeting to finalize and/or rehearse, and ceremony. Total Time: 4-6 Hours

EXTRAS:

Additional meetings to discuss and/or finalize changes made or requested by client, will be charged at $15 (plus mileage, if needed, at $3 for each additional 20 miles outside of a 30-mile radius from Hillsboro, Mo).
Ceremonies booked within 2 weeks of the event, or booked for holidays, will be charged an additional fee of $25.
