Hi Austin brides! We are getting married on April 19, 2015 and we are looking for affordable officiants that will do a completely secular ceremony! I've been getting bids from a bunch of officants who are in the $250-$500 range and I just can't justify spending that much! It's a 30 minute ceremony that I want to write myself! I'm literally paying someone to stand for 30 minutes and read what I've written, maybe with some ad-libbing if they feel necessary. At this point, I'm willing to consider a friend who could do it for the open bar because these prices are ridiculous! Anyone find someone with more reasonable rates?? Thanks!
