PreMarital Coaching — $600
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, I am thrilled to offer this wonderful add-on option for couples who wish to prioritize and nurture their relationship amidst their busy (and oftentimes stressful) wedding planning season. This includes a thorough, evidence-based relationship inventory and four 90 minute premarital coaching sessions. Fun fact: couples who invest in premarital assessment/support increase their marriage success rate by 30%. Please note that this is in add-on service to couples who have booked Vestal Ceremonies for a custom wedding or elopement. You will have the opportunity to select this service when you book your wedding/elopement.
1:1 Consulting — $100/hr
I absolutely LOVE dreaming up unique ritual elements for creative, impactful ceremonies. If you would like my undivided attention and ceremony-crafting support for an hour at a time, you can have it! I can’t wait to be your enthusiastic sounding board/editor/coach.
SimplE & Sweet Elopement — $229
For those who favor simplicity and expediency - as long as you have a valid marriage license, I’ll meet you anywhere in the W-S area and marry you. You must choose a location and provide two witnesses (FYI - a photographer counts) or be amenable to me flagging down passersby to serve as your witnesses. This is an excellent choice if you want an easy breezy elopement held somewhere more meaningful or picturesque than a government building. Please note, this option is lightly customized. If you wish to have a fully custom ceremony with additional rituals, readings, and tailored to your unique love story, the Custom Wedding package is better suited for your special day.
