Wedding Packages and Availability
All dates are first come, first served by signed contract and paid deposit. I am often booked up to a year in advance. Do not hesitate to ensure you get the date you want. Wedding packages and rehearsals below are listed separately. |
If you would like to make a deposit or pay the balance on your wedding ceremony, you may use Venmo, PayPal or pay by credit card here. You may also use cash or check; contact me for arrangements.
If you wish to use Venmo, I am @Paul-Pakusch. Thank you. PayPal/Credit Card: |
Personalized Wedding - $225
Fully customized to your wishes, for large weddings, small weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and elopements. We will meet or communicate by phone/e-mail as often as necessary to create the wedding ceremony that reflects you as a couple. You will have full participation in the writing of your ceremony and may edit it as you see fit.
Pre-written Ceremony $125
For the couple who are looking for a standard ceremony that focuses on the meaning of love in your marriage. Ideal for couples who want their wedding "simple and short" and for simple elopements. Runs approximately 10 minutes. There are two pre-written options available: Religious or non-religious. The religious ceremony includes a non-denominational religious reading and a prayer. The non-religious ceremony includes some meaningful readings. This package includes e-mail and phone consultation. Not available after 12:00 noon on Saturdays from May through October.
Rehearsal - $75
You don’t necessarily need a rehearsal if it is just the two of you, plus a Maid/Matron of Honor and a Best Man. A rehearsal is usually a good idea if you have a full wedding party. Depending on the venue, it's possible to have a rehearsal without me if they have a wedding coordinator; in that case, it's up to you whether I am there or not. The wedding coordinator will show everyone where they need to be, how to enter and how to exit. If I am there, I will also go over the parts that involve the three of us, such as the handover, the vows, and the ring exchange. I find that couples are usually less nervous if we go over these. If you are not at a venue with a wedding coordinator, then I will conduct the entire rehearsal. Please note that for most wedding rehearsals, due to my other job, I would be available at 6:00 PM or later on a weekday (such as Friday) in the Rochester area.
Travel Fees
My service area includes Rochester; as far east as Geneva, as far west as Medina, and as far south as Geneseo. Any locations beyond this area may incur a travel fee.
