This page is the hardest for an officiant to compose.
Every ceremony that we do is different and all couples have different
needs.
Location is a factor, whether we are writing personal sections
for you, if you are flexible as to your ceremony's start time,
if you need a rehearsal on a day other than the wedding, etc.
Our fees are based on the real time spent to get you married.
If twenty minutes is all you want from us, meaning we can marry
another couple a half hour before and after you, then "Just
Marry Us" is the ticket for you.
Full Custom Ceremony
$400.00
($600 with both Revs.)
Writing and public speaking are our strong points. This is where
we do our best work and you get the most value for your dollar.
Anyone can give you lists of things to pick from and call it
"custom" but if it's not your own thoughts and feelings
then it is assembled for you, not written for you. This package
includes a meeting where Isaac and/or Phaedra paraphrase your
thoughts and feelings and create a first draft of your ceremony.
Then we tailor it until it fits as perfectly as the dress does!

Do you see something on our website that is perfect for you?
Do you want to pick a few elements or give us a few guidelines
and let us handle the rest? Writing a ceremony and assembling
a ceremony are two very different things, So let's give
you a discount for the time that we're saving by not meeting
and writing from scratch!
Full Day Service
$800.00
($1200 with both Revs.)
This works well for couples who want to be the only wedding scheduled
on their day. Some like to rehearse not an hour before but 3
hours before (or the night before) and then do pictures. Some
weddings, held more than an hour or two away from Nyack, can
require the time that two or three local weddings could be performed
in. No extra fees are added for traveling.
Destination Weddings
Want a Pirate Wedding in Arrrrrruba or a Sci-Fi one at Cape Canaveral?
We'll go anywhere! The fee will be based on real time spent to
make your day amazing and perfect! Naturally you would have to
cover the transportation and any food and lodging costs involved.
Just Marry Us!
$100.00
($150 with both Revs.)
Perfect for those who don't want to marry at town hall. If you
want one of us to meet you at a local (to Nyack NY) restaurant
or hotel and have us use the "Short
and Simple" wedding script, we can be in and out in
twenty minutes. We have an arrangement with Reality
Bites Cafe in Nyack, who can also produce a wedding brunch
or buffet for up to 50 people with a day's warning. In warm weather,
a local park or our wooded back yard is also possible.
Monday to Thursday: day and evening hours (no evening hours in
the parks). Weekends: check for limited availability.
All the above services include the changes and fine
tuning that make the draft into your ceremony, and as much email
and phone support as you need to be comfortable with every aspect
of your ceremony.
Other Notes
On the day of the wedding we don't schedule closer
than 3 hours in between weddings, unless of course they are within
a couple of miles of one another. We get to the site 45 minutes
to 1 hour early to make sure that any one who has a part is comfortable,
and to coordinate with the other vendors and such. We stay for
approximately 45 minutes after the scheduled start time.
Isaac or Phae will sign and process the Marriage License,
which is always sent certified mail, with a tracking number.
We copy the Marriage License for your records and
mail it to you.
Payment
Cash on the day is our favorite method of payment.
To reserve a date more than two weeks into the future, please
make a $100 reservation (or pay the entire cost if you prefer)
via PayPal to "ibonewits@unusualceremonies.com",
or by check to the address below, any time prior to two weeks
before the ceremony date. After that it is cash on the day only.
There is a $50.00 pr half hour late fee for ceremonies
starting 30 minutes late.
(Why? Because sometimes couples accidently give us the gathering
time and not the ceremony time. So to avoid bad brides -- or
grooms! -- inadvertently making us schedule closer than we are
comfortable with, and possibly ruining someone else's wedding,
it has become necessary to ensure that we are given the correct
information.)
