I want to find someone that wont cost me a LOAD bc the ceremony alone is 950$ and its only like 20minutes long....its killin me this price. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it!

    If you want to dave money, why not see if a friend or family memeber would be willing to do the wedding. That's what we are doing to save money and not have a random person officiating our wedding. Just a thought.

    We are using my FFIL. He did my FBIL's wedding and it was beautiful. I like the personal touches that he will include in our special day.

    If you're getting married  in OH and you want to have a friend get ordained to marry you, remember s/he must get an OH license.  Last I heard OH is cracking down on letting this happen for a one-time only ceremony (unlike Colorado that makes money letting people do this sort of thing).  If you're willing to pay the cost of the friend getting licensed and s/he is willing to fib to the state, go for it!

    BTW, I don't really think you're paying for an officiant's time (your 20 minute comment) as much as their license.  After all, they're representatives of Probate Court.

    Reverend Judy Burroughs is great. We met with her for two hours, before we even paid a dime, and she formatted an entire ceremony for us.
