Ceremony is not priced by the hour.
It’s priced by responsibility.
My fees reflect the work of listening, writing, preparing, and holding a moment that cannot be repeated. I keep my calendar intentionally limited so each ceremony receives full attention.
The ranges below are accurate and current.
$700
Includes:
Initial consultation
Custom-written ceremony (light personalization)
Day-of officiation

In-depth consultation
Fully bespoke ceremony writing
Thoughtful pacing and structure

Availability is confirmed only after an initial conversation.
Fees are discussed openly, confirmed in writing, and not negotiated.
This work requires preparation, emotional attentiveness, and presence — all of which deserve to be protected.
If the pricing and approach feel aligned, the next step is a conversation.
