I officiate weddings, elopements, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and handfastings in the state of Virginia.

Absolutely. I work with couples of all backgrounds and beliefs, from traditional religious ceremonies to completely secular celebrations.

For clarification purposes, I am not ordained by any church and am non-denominational in nature. I am authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia to perform legal ceremonies.

Every couple gets homework from me so I can get to know you and your relationship a bit before putting pen to paper. My unique, customized scripts stand out from the traditional copy paste script from the 90’s so many of us have heard a dozen times before.

I believe your ceremony should feel like it belongs to you, not pulled from a template. Every couple has a unique story and I take the time to create a ceremony that reflects who you are and the commitment you're making to one another.

I serve couples throughout the entirety of Virginia.

My different package offerings include a varying amount of miles from 23237.

Additional miles are currently charged at $1.60 per mile.

The sooner the better, especially during peak spring and fall wedding season.
However, I am often able to accommodate much shorter timelines depending on the ceremony demands.

You will be provided with a contract to review and sign via DocuSign. A 50% deposit is required to secure your date.
Then you get your homework. Each partner will need to fill out a survey about the relationship, ceremony details, etc, and I will begin creating your ceremony script for review.

Most ceremonies last between 10 and 30 minutes, I have also done 5 minute ceremonies and 1 hour ceremonies. It is solely up to you and what you desire for your day.

In general, quick elopements and microweddings run the 5-15 minute range, traditional ceremonies can look more like 30 minutes.

Yes. I am happy to incorporate handfastings, unity ceremonies, family vows, jumping the broom, and other meaningful elements into your ceremony.

Rehearsal attendance is included depending on the package selected. We can discuss your needs during your consultation. Attendance for rehearsal is available for an additional fee, plus milage.

No, I can use the traditional wedding vows or you can exchange personal written vows. The options are truly endless. The beauty of the modern wedding is that you and your partner do not HAVE to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Let’s make some new traditions.

Nope! Back yard weddings are just as important as weddings at The Graduate.
Let’s meet along the banks of the James and tie the knot! Anywhere we can legally be in public is fine by me. (within reason- let’s say no parking lots)

Love is love, and I am honored to celebrate it. Bonded Pair Ceremonies proudly welcomes couples of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations.

That’s okay! After you fill out your couples survey I’ll have a pretty good idea on what you are looking for in a ceremony.

Yes, my signing services are offered at my home office; subject to availability.
