The Full Wedding Package
Your perfect dream wedding, with all the "bells & whistles." I pride myself on crafting ceremonies that are perfect for my couples. I spend the time getting to know you to ensure that everything for your ceremony is exactly as you hoped it would be and more.

This package is the bare minimum that is legally required to be married. There is no official ceremony, just a very short sitting wherever you like, where we say the legally required words only and then sign the documents.

Remembering it is still a legal requirement to have 2 witnesses present.
