This ceremony lasts approximately 30 minutes, and it can be non-traditional or traditional style.  We provide flexible non-demonimational or interfaith ceremonies for your most special day.  I welcome you to write your own vows, or you can choose a more traditional service.  If you choose to have me officiate your ceremony, you will receive a packet including sample vows, prayers, poems and scriptures that are appropriate for your desired ceremony.  This service is just to help you with ideas because, ultimately, the choice is yours.  This is your day.  I will accomodate you in any way I can, and am willing to perform anything from secular or civil ceremonies to Paganistic Handfastings (please be aware that Pagan handfastings can be either non-legal or legally binding marriages).  Please consult with me and we can plan and prepare for your ceremony, making sure it is what you both want.

I require a nonrefundable 1/2 down deposit to reserve your wedding date.  The remaining balance must be paid prior to the wedding rehearsal.  At that time, I ask that you present an original copy of your Iowa marriage license and current valid photo identification.  If for any reason you need to reschedule your wedding date, the deposit you've paid will still count.  However, be aware that rescheduled dates are subject to my availability.

Click on the calendar icon  to check availability of your desired wedding day.  You can reserve your magickal date one year in advance.  The earlier you plan your wedding and the more prepared you feel, the smoother it should go.  Nothing makes a couple more jittery than last-minute errands and planning. 

I can also assist you astrologically in planning a wedding date.  I am an astrologer and have practiced the art of astrology for over 18 years.  I have provided readings for individuals and couples for nearly two decades.  I can offer an in-depth astrological consultation based on both the bride's and the groom's birthdates to help pick a most suitable day for the both of you.  This helps a couple begin their journey in togetherness on the right foot.   I will be looking for certain astrological events to help ensure a long-lasting and fortunate marriage.  I can even calculate the most beneficial time of day to marry if necessary.      

Accepted Payment Forms:
I accept cash, Postal Money Orders, Personal Checks, Cashier's Checks and Business Checks.  I also accept debit cards and credit cards provided that you pay here through my PayPal account.  You are welcome to prepay through PayPal by simply clicking the "Donate" button below and entering either your full payment, partial payment or deposit to reserve your date.  Please include your contact information and preferred wedding date(s).
