Includes the value of the SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before it Starts) Assessment and a meet up to discuss the results. This is NOT REQUIRED for me to officiate for you, but is an investment in your relationship. I offer a pre-marriage assessment or post-marriage assessment if you are already married.
QUICK SIGN
$75
This is perfect for couples looking to have a friend or family member perform their ceremony while I will professionally process the license.
*A $175 schedule retainer for weddings and renewals should be given before or by our first meet-up to secure your wedding time and date. The complete $175 for elopements or $75 for quick signs should be given to secure your time and date. The complete $175 for SYMBIS Assessment should be given before the assessment is sent. Once the schedule retainer or full gift is made, rest assured as your date and time will be secured on my calendar. Because your time will be blocked off, the schedule retainer for ceremonies, elopements, quick signs, and SYMBIS assessments is non-returnable.
Weddings conducted beyond Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth or Chesapeake may be subject to a time and travel charge to be determined by the distance//Elopement price is for elopements in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth or Chesapeake; outside of these areas would be valued at the Wedding Ceremony rate.

WEDDING CEREMONY SAMPLE
WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
““We knew immediately that we wanted Pastor James to marry us and it was one of the best decisions on our wedding day! He helped us understand the process of how he would marry us and even met with us to dig deeper into our story. Most people have their guests comment on how great the food or venue was, but for us - people were letting us know that they loved our Pastor and how funny and genuine he was during our ceremony.””
““I think we got more compliments about James than we did anything else on our wedding day. He met with us over Zoom and spoke with us at length about our story so he could craft the perfect ceremony. A good chunk of our extended family thought we were friends prior to the wedding with how well he spoke of our history!””
““Pastor Davis was the absolute best and our ceremony could not have been better. Every guest came to us and told us our ceremony was the best they had been to and that they loved that the Pastor included things about us and our relationship that they didn’t know. The ceremony was personal and was everything we wanted and more.””
““Pastor James officiated our wedding and my husband and I could not be happier. We have been to dozens of weddings over the years and our opinion, the ceremony is really the most important over the reception, decorations, music, venue, etc. Although we had all of that and more, we wanted our ceremony to be the focal point. In fact, most of our guests came to us with tears in their eyes thanking us for having Pastor James prepare such a well-meaning, personalized message that pulled the guests in and tugged on their hearts. One year later we are still receiving compliments and words of thanks for Pastor James’ message. Thank you, Pastor James, for being you and blessing so many people.””
