WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COST OF A WEDDING OFFICIANT?

When it comes to your wedding officiant’s cost, it’s more than just showing up on your wedding day to perform your ceremony. A typical wedding officiant’s cost includes the following:

Prep work: There’s a lot of preparation that goes into making your ceremony a success. Your officiant will meet with you before your wedding to craft a ceremony that’s unique and meaningful to you, whether that means including religious elements, family traditions, readings you like, and more. Creating a ceremony plan takes at least three to four hours, not including edits and communication with you. If you’re writing your own wedding vows (36 percent of couples do!), your officiant can assist you with that as well.

Travel and event time: You’re paying for your officiant’s time and presence at your wedding. And if your officiant is traveling a long distance to your event, you may incur additional travel charges.

License handling: Your officiant is responsible for making sure your license is properly filled out, signed, and sent back within the required time frame.

Rehearsal time: Your officiant may or may not attend your rehearsal, but if he or she does, it’s likely an extra charge.

Equipment: Some officiants provide their own wireless microphones and speakers, which cost money to buy and maintain.

Business expenses: From phone service and Internet to education and marketing, your wedding officiant cost probably includes these and more business expenses to ensure he or she can work efficiently and be as responsive as possible.

Marriage License Information:

Certified Marriage Records- Couples will not automatically receive a copy of their certified marriage record after the wedding unless they request and pay for a certified copy from the County Clerk or County Recorder.

Pre-paying- Some counties allow couples to pre-pay for certified copies of the marriage record when they obtain their marriage license. This is the easiest and most recommended method of obtaining certified copies. Couples that pre-pay should expect to receive certified copies within 5-10 weeks after the county receives the marriage license.

Paying on the day of the wedding ceremony- Couples that do not pre-pay may have the option (depending on the county) of providing a check payable to the county clerk on the day of the wedding ceremony. Counties that allow this option provide couples an Application for Marriage Record and Sworn Statement at the time the marriage license is obtained. These documents need to be completed before the wedding ceremony. Each county has specific requirements within each state. The couples’ check will be submitted along with the signed marriage license, completed Application for Marriage Record, and notarized Sworn Statement when it is returned to the county clerk’s office. Couples who opt for this option should expect to receive certified copies within 5-10 weeks after the county receives the marriage license.

Paying after the wedding ceremony- Couples that obtain a marriage license in counties that do not allow for pre-payment or allow for providing a check on the day of the ceremony may purchase certified copies of the marriage record directly from the county clerk’s office approximately eight weeks after the county receives the signed marriage license. If it has been over 10 weeks and you still haven’t received your certified copies, please contact the county in which you obtained your license.

Changing your Name:

Many of your state and U.S. government name change forms must be filed with a certified marriage record as legal proof of your marriage. Your certified marriage record can also be used as proof of marriage for insurance purposes. It is suggested that you obtain 2-3 certified copies of your marriage license.
