We know his prices, we will ask what type of ceremonies there are because we dont know which kind well want.  and thats about all i have.  TIA

Ask how much control you have over the ceremony wording. Is he okay with you changing parts of what he says? Our JOP gave us a bunch of example ceremonies, and we pulled parts from each to make our own. 

Also make sure he's okay with how you want to say your vows (write your own, repeat after him, etc).

MoonlightSilver raised some good points. Remember that the ceremony can be as long or short as you want it to be so ensure that your ceremony is exactly how you want it to be.

Our judge/officiant gave us three ceremonies - we could choose one of those OR...he also gave us two books on writing your own ceremony/vows and said we could combine any of these or write our own, etc.  We chose one of the already-written ceremonies.

Ask if he'll be present for the rehearsal.
