Large Weddings
~ We officiate at weddings that include up to 200 guests, both indoor and outdoor. 
We provide our own speaker system and its use is included in the fees below.

Small Weddings ~ Not everyone wants a grand wedding in front of 500 guests. Some like the more personal touch, in more intimate surroundings. If you want a small chapel wedding, then you came to the right place. Both Rev. Debs are officially ordained ministers of the White rose Ministry, who will officiate your wedding with care and professionalism. Our small chapel is both cozy and private.

Handfasting Ceremonies

There are many types of Handfasting ceremonies. There are also Handfastings from different countries and cultures that vary
a bit. The Handfasting can be done as a wedding ceremony or as a smaller ceremony built within the wedding ceremony. Below are two variations of the Celtic Handfasting. 
Year and a Day Handfasting
- This ceremony is similar to a commitment ceremony, such as when a couple "commits" to
each other before marriage. According to history in the Celtic region, a couple would be Handfasted for a day and a year
and live together while waiting for the minister to arrive in their town and upon his arrival, the minister would perform a
wedding ceremony for the couple and they were legally married. But, if the couple decided they couldn’t get along under the same roof, the Handfasting was cancelled and each was free to leave and start life anew.
Ribbons, cords, a handfasting cloth
or any other items that are chosen for the ceremony will be supplied by the couple, if it is to be kept, otherwise, we will use
our ceremonial handfasting cloth. You will be given a Certificate of Handfasting - This is not a legal ceremony.
The same fees apply for handfastings as for weddings
Legal Handfasting
- This ceremony requires a legal marriage license. Ribbons, cords, a handfasting cloth or any other
items that are chosen or are needed will be supplied by the couple. The same fee applies as for the weddings above, with
the exception that you will be given a Certificate of Handfasting in addition to your marriage license being signed which
will make this a legal wedding/handfasting.
The same fees apply for handfastings as for weddings


Interview Notice
If you would like an interview, the fee is $50. The fee will then be deducted after you have booked your wedding with us at the final payment before the ceremony. Unfortunately, we have to charge this fee, as many couples are now, "shopping for a wedding minister" and will take an hour or more of my time just to decide if they want me or not. And, sadly, I don't have enough hours in a day to sit for hours on end while couples shop. I am sure they can tell through a phone call whether they have interest or not. And, as I mentioned earlier, if they are truely interested, the interview fee will be deducted from the final payment for the ceremony.


Commitment Ceremony
The same fee applies as for the weddings above. You will receive a personalized Certificate of Commitment
or a Certificate of your Affirmation of Love after your commitment ceremony.
This is not a legal ceremony.
No license is required.


Vow Renewals

The same fee applies as for the weddings above. You will receive a personalized Certificate of Vow Renewal.
A copy of your marriage licence is needed in order to re-pronounce you husband and wife.



The Memories Book

This book contains a copy of the ceremony script, a Certificate of Marriage from
White Rose Ministry, (the certificate is suitable for framing) from us. Your legal Marriage Certificate, (the marriage certificate is often called a marriage license), will be placed in the Memories book. A few other items that are specific to your wedding are also added. The ceremony is printed on color coordinated paper that compliments your wedding designs and/or color. This book is available to all couples, but is only included in the higher priced package. If you would like to purchase a book, please be sure to give Reverend Deb your request in advance. Price: $20


Retainer
Your ceremony is not considered "booked" until we receive a non-refundable deposit of at least 50%. The balance is due at least one week before your wedding date if you are paying by check. We accept cash only on wedding days.


Ceremony Scripts
-
If you have chosen to have a ceremony written specifically for you, your deposit will pay for your specially written ceremony. If you cancel your booking after receiving your ceremony script for review, we will consider your deposit as payment for the ceremony script, since copyright of that ceremony script belongs to Reverend Deborah A. Ehmann. Thanks for understanding!


Rehearsals - Due to the time involved, (usually an hour or less - the bridal party must arrive early or on time), and distance for traveling, the rehearsal fee is $150 plus the mileage fee if applicable.



Mileage Note

5 miles, please ask if this applies to your location.
Or check Mapquest our zip code is 19114.
Mileage fee is $1.25 per mile, please multiply the number of miles by 2 as the trip is both to and from the venue.
