What area do you serve?
The primary service area for Sky’s the Limit Weddings is all of southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and eastern Iowa. For weddings outside of that area, additional fees may apply.
How much do you charge?
My fee is only $375. This includes all of my time and meetings with you to create that very special ceremony that is truly yours, conducting your rehearsal, performing your wedding ceremony, filing your marriage license after the ceremony, and being available at your reception to offer any services you may wish there, such as a blessing before dinner. There are no additional charges such as mileage or hotel if I decide to stay over depending on the location. The fee may be less if we decide that a rehearsal is not necessary.
How can I book our wedding date?
Weddings dates are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your reservation form and deposit books your wedding date with the balance due by the date of your wedding. Please call or contact me via the web to verify availability.
How far in advance should you book your wedding officiant?
I have weddings booked as far in advance as a year and a half. You should begin looking for your wedding officiant as soon as you have set the date for your wedding. It is not necessary that you have booked your location before booking with me.
What about our marriage license? Can you help us with that?
Yes, I will be happy to provide any guidance you may need about how and when to get your marriage license. Also, after the ceremony, I’ll make sure everything is signed correctly and filed with the appropriate county office, ensuring that your marriage is legally recognized.
Will you be available to offer a blessing at our wedding reception?
Yes. And may I add that it will be an honor to do so.
Do we need to be of a particular religious faith or denomination for you to perform our ceremony?
No. Couples come to me to create and perform their ceremony for many different reasons. These are three of the more common ones.
- They do not hold to a particular religious faith or belong to a particular denomination, but do not want to married by a Justice of the Peace or other officer of the court
- They do hold to a particular religious faith or denomination, but are not active in a church or they wish to be married in a location other than their church
- They have or come from different religious faiths or denominations and do not want to make a choice in which church they will marry.
I have written and conducted a wide range of type of ceremonies. I have done very traditional ceremonies, ceremonies that included traditions from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Eastern Orthodox, and others including a Jewish/Lutheran ceremony.
