Officiant Betty Fernau, LLC

I am available for last minute elopements, scheduled weddings, unity weddings, rehearsals, vow renewals and remarriage. I am also honored to be an officiant for a life celebration or memorial service. My wedding fee depends on what you want for your wedding ceremony:

License Signing Only - $50 - Perfect for the couple who does not want to have a ceremony of any type.
�
Elopement Ceremony - $150

- This ceremony lasts about 7 minutes. It has the affirmations, the vows, and the ring exchange with a blessing. Elopements typically have less than 10 guests. �

Personalized Ceremony - $300 - This ceremony is written just for you. I will send you a list of questions and will use your answers to write the perfect ceremony for you. This ceremony lasts about 15 minutes but it could be longer if you add poems and/or readings. �

Unity Ceremony with Rehearsal - $400 - This ceremony is for any unity element. (Let me know if you need a list of unity ideas.) I can also add some laughter to this ceremony by talking about the things you love about each other along with the little things that get on each others nerves. This ceremony lasts around 25 minutes but it could be longer if you add poems and/or readings. �

Travel Fee - $0.61 - Depending on the location, travel fee of 61 cents per round trip mile may apply due to distance and drive time. I require a non-refundable deposit of $100 to save the date and time. The remainder of the fee is due before the wedding begins. If you are eloping and have not selected a venue, you are welcome to get married at my home under my rustic driftwood arch on Lake Conway for no additional charge. However, it is outdoor only and has a limit of 5 vehicles due to lack of parking availablity. This is ONLY for the ceremony. There is no setup for a reception. Here is a video of a recent elopement ceremony to give you an idea of what to expect: https://youtu.be/PcU1EwT0Gqg��

Weddings can be stressful, so I strive to provide the most stress free ceremony possible. It is important to me that I make this day perfect for you and your guests. I became ordained in 2012 and have officiated well over 1000 weddings. Like love, I do not discriminate. You can find this information and more at https://www.weddingwire.com/BettyFernau

Thank you for considering me as your officiant.
