What are your fees?
My typical ceremony fees traditionally range from a flat rate of $450 for quick elopements and brief ceremonies; to $950 for simpler gatherings to $1650 for more elaborate ceremonies with story, rituals, and various moving parts; to an hourly fee for my home funeral and End of Life consultations. I use these terms most and more elaborate ceremonies loosely though.
Once we sit down and overview your unique needs in depth, I will be better able to quote you a firm, flat-rate fee. In arriving at my fee, I factor in my anticipated amount of writing, research and preparation hours, and must disclose: It’s rare for me to dedicate anything less than 30 hours in my ceremonial work.
