On the Pond Marriage Services

 

I became an ordained clergy for a variety of reasons - the most pressing was that there was a

couple who wanted to marrry and could not find a person to perform that marriage caremony. 

 

Below are a few questions that I have answered letting you know something about me.

 

What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

 

A professional officiant should gladly go over all details with you. A true professional will want you to have complete information so your final choice will be an informed one and the best one for you.

 

Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

 

My work stands out from others because I am very flexible and will assist in any way that I can to make your day special without putting undue pressure on you to get the marriage ceremony perfect.

 

What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

 

I wish that people knew that it it very important to pick an officiant that they are comfortable with to perform their marriage ceremony.  Ask questions and a true professional will have no problem answering them at all.

 

Do you pass judgments on if people should get married?

 

No. When couples are in love and truly believe they are meant for each other, I am pleased and honored if they choose me to perform their marriage ceremony. I do not impose arbitrary requirements or pass judgments.

 

How much notice do you need to perform a ceremony?

 

What I need to perform a ceremony is the license, the couple to be married, and two witnesses.  There is not any notice necessry to perform the marriage ceremony.

 

Are we required to meet with you?

 

I do not require a meeting, but I think it is an excellent idea for us to meet face-to-face as this will make you and your fiancee feel more comfortable about your officiant choice as a part of your wedding planning. Often, though, planning in-person meetings is not easy – especially in the months leading up to the Big Day, with so many other details to finalize. As a result, I’m also very willing to “meet” by email and phone.
