Officiant Recommendations

Hi,

We are searching for an officiant (on a budget, of course) for our outdoor wedding (non-traditional). Does anyone have any recommendations? We are just unsure of where to start and a range of what they cost would be very helpful.

TIA!

    We're using Mark Bomchill.  He's great so far!  I think he is around $250.

    We used Tom Armstrong - his flat rate is $250 (we had to pay a little more b/c of the distance of our ceremony from his office, but that was no biggie).  His website has a lot of useful info on it, he's so nice and so professional, he personalized our vows to exactly what we wanted (he didn't care as long as we did the legal part of it! LOL)  Our wedding was 5/28 and we got our marriage license last week already -- no beating around the bush with this guy!  HIGHLY recommend him, his website is www.tgarmstrong.com Good luck!

    We are getting married by a Judge (before the wedding- long story) but he charges $150 and I'm told that is pretty standard for Judges- they also are willing to travel out of the courthouse (some really prefer it actually)

    Here are all the Washington County officiates (but they can perform a ceremony anywhere in MN).
