Pricing for Services

The following is an overview of my service packages and pricing. Please call me at 608-335-3627 if you wish to discuss further details.

Weddings

Deluxe Ceremony

Colleen and Bo

You can feel safe and calm with Joan as your officiant. Her custom & personalized ceremonies are very impressive and elegantly written. She listens to you and gets to know you as an individual creating a connection that adds meaning behind just being an officiant. She is very detail-oriented, empathetic, organized and understanding. I simply loved our ceremony and received many compliments from my family and friends.
