Other Fees:
Travel: I try to stay local to southern Minnesota in order to keep this cost down for the couples. I am located out of Owatonna which puts me 45 minutes from beautiful venues from Mankato, Rochester, Albert Lea, and the southern metro area. Travel fees are based on one way travel and are applied on top of the ceremony package.
Within 30 minutes of Owatonna- Free (rehearsal and ceremony)
30-59 minutes $20 for each day(rehearsal and ceremony- $40)
60-90 away- $30 for each day (rehearsal and ceremony-$60)
Over 90 minutes- $30 and prorated $20 for 30 minutes of travel. (2 hours of driving one way= $50)
Lodging: If needing to spend the night because the venue is not economical for rehearsal and ceremony- the officiant requests a room to be booked by the wedding party in the same hotel recommended to guests.
Services Not Included:
Applying for Marriage License in your county. The couple will need to bring the Marriage License and the Marriage Certificate to the rehearsal.
Reserving other parts of the wedding such as: Venue Reservations, DJ/ Audio Services, Printing, and other related third-party contracts (not a coordinator).
Moving, hauling, decorating or any kind of musical talent.
Appointments are flexible and contracts will go over timeline and ceremony details.
Looking forward to telling your story on your day!
