A beautiful ceremony is a memory forever and sets the tone for the entire day. An experienced officiant can offer a better wedding and provide many options creating the ceremony you want. Rev. Dan can also help coordinate when he arrives to ensure all goes well.
Rev F. Daniel Latour
Offering both civil or spiritual ceremonies, "Dan" is a preferred officiant at many venues. His ceremonies average 15-25 minutes varying on the number in the wedding party and selected options. A Planning Form will be sent to design your ceremony. A few weeks before the wedding he will email a License reminder along with helpful hints and basic timeline to help coordinate. He will help with the line up and work with vendors so you can relax and enjoy a smooth, beautiful wedding ~ even if unable to rehearse. See more about "Dan"
CEREMONY AT YOUR CHOSEN VENUE – $200.00 (flat fee)
With rehearsal direction -
$350.00
The Ceremony fee includes preparation, travel, officiating the ceremony with chosen options and filing the legal documents with the
Court. He does not attend rehearsals unless booked in advance so he is free for other bookings. However, you will have a ceremony outline to help in working with vendors. If your
coordinator or the venue does not include rehearsal direction in their package, Rev. Dan can be hired to do so. The balance would be due two weeks before the event.
