What is included in your quote?
My quote for a basic ceremony includes travel, taxes and lodging (if necessary).
I generally play prelude music for 15-20 minutes prior, most ceremonies are 20-30 minutes,
then ten minutes after the ceremony.

What are your deposit and return policies?
The deposit is one half the total and is refundable,
minus a $50 fee up to 90 days before the performance.
The balance is due the day of the event upon my arrival,
or can be paid in advance.
How do I choose my music?
Go to the Listen for samples and ideas. We can also schedule a phone call or a meeting.
Can you play our favorite song?
I charge $100 to arrange and practice up a new song for solo guitar.
How much is the Vocal/Guitar Duo for the ceremony?
That's an additional $150.
How far will you travel?
I travel throughout the Colorado Front Range and Mountains.
Do you use amplification?
I use amplification for all but the most intimate indoor ceremonies.
I have battery power where electricity is not available.
Are you comfortable with same-sex marriages?
Yes.
Can we have a consultation?
I am always happy to meet with you when possible,
though phone calls and emails are sufficient for logistics.
Do you attend rehearsals?
I rarely attend rehearsals - a short visit with the officiant prior to the ceremony is sufficient.
If you feel the need for me to attend, that time must also be reserved in advance.
