I want someone inexpensive (I only want my ceremony to be like 15-20 minutes) so I don't want to spend an astronomical amount.
I want a MALE officiant.
Nothing religious even though we are both catholic.
Someone who will work with me but give me ideas since I'm clueless.
Suggestions? Contact info please!

Re: OFFICIANT HELP
$600, but the ceremony is totally customized and he's so amazing to work with and completely worth it in my opinion. i also haven't really spoken to anyone cheaper, seems like the going rate these days...

Re: OFFICIANT HELP
hmmm 600 isn't too bad. that's like at the max I want to spend though. is he far? I'm in Suffolk and I don't want to worry about how traveling too far in case there is snow the day of the wedding (I'm crazy paranoid about snow even though I wanted a winter wedding lol)

I am paying I think $550 for Pastor April. I know you want a man, that's what I wanted to too, but read the reviews about her and think about it. I definitely wanted a man, and totally changed my tune once we met her. She is amazing.

Re: OFFICIANT HELP
Min. Keith Gugliuzza was AMAZING. I have gotten so many wonderful compliments on our ceremony and we just LOVE him. We are also both Catholic but we stressed we wanted a strict non-denominational ceremony ... even so far as taking the word 'bless' out of it ... and Keith did an amazing job. FM me if you want more info ... he is an LIW vendor as well.

I have the best guy! Judge William Corbett. He does BEAUTIFUL ceremonies that you personalize yourself with him. Nothing religious unless you want certain things. He comes in a beautiful robe - looks very nice in pics! And he is the SWEETEST GUY that reminded me of my grandpa, hehe. - he is the house officiant for the Plaza and Waldorf Astoria in NYC!
FM for details! Or - he is a LIW Vendor now, too - let him know Carly & Ben recommended him highly!
Oh right contact info - forgot to give you: (516) 775-6849

Let me know how it turns out!
Do you mind telling me how much he costs?
Also is he located in the city? I'm scared of vendors not being able to get out to suffolk if the weather is bad in winter.
