Ok, all of you have been so helpful. I know I just posted asking about an officiant and a lot of people had great suggestions. One of my co-workers gave me the number for a justice of the peace from Town Hall who would do the ceremony for $200. We really have a tight budget. My friend told me that she has never heard of anyone who is 'good' charging less than $500. I
Thanks for the info! I just called and spoke to the husband of the Town Clerk. He informed me that she only has jurisdiction in Brookhaven. He said- 'For example, she would not have jurisdiction at say, the Thatched Cottage.' That is where I am getting married! lol He said we could have her do a ceremony at the Town Hall to be legal and then have her come to TC. But, I know they charge $75 for the Town Hall ceremony and $200 to travel so I am guessing I would pay $275 total? I got an e-mail back from Pastor April today. She would only be a little more expensive than that if we choose not to meet with her in advance. We do really need to cut corners though. I should have asked if his wife would do the candle ceremony and all of that but he seemed surprised that I was calling so far in advance. Ahh!
