Really need to find an officiant (sp?)

So, I am almost 5 months to the wedding but we have no one to marry us. We are getting married at the hall and were hoping that a priest from our Parish would marry us but he won't do an outdoor ceremony. Only an indoor one. We want to have the flexibility of deciding where we want it. Does anyone know of anyone and if so, what are the prices. I don't want a judge but rather a minister or the likes. I have the name of one person who charges $275. Is that the norm?? Thanks!!!!!

stacedz- My friend was supposed to have him but he had an emergency last minute and wasn't able to make it. Does he customize the ceremony. Can you have bible readings?? Do you have to go to him for the first meeting and if so, where is he? Sorry for all the questions but I really want to get this done this week. THANKS!!!!!!!!

P.S How does he look? I hope that is not a stupid question but how does he show up. In a robe? Black and white collar? Suit? Thanks!!!!

Re: Really need to find an officiant (sp?)

Curly, he is always so busy so you need to book him in advance. He had 5 weddings the day of mine. He shows up in a black and red robe and red cap and everyone was asking what was he, a deacon? LOL. He will do the ceremony any way you like it and have any reading you want. We only had him add Love is Patient and the ceremony was beautiful without us really telling him what to exactly say. I spoke on the phone with him twice and then I met him at Villa Lombardi's one day when he was there to do a wedding, such a nice, warm, man. He will meet you when it is conveient for you and him. Hope this helps, if not, let me know if you need anything else!

Stacey

You can see him in the back right in this pic...

Karina I am not sure if a Monseigneur (sp?) would do an out of church ceremony but that is who is doing my ceremony at my church. He is a Mon/pastor (not sure what this means when you are both)
Do you want me to call and find out for you?

Re: Really need to find an officiant (sp?)

Thanks Wanda but i doubt they will do it. I think I'm going to call Fatehr Allman but if that deosn;t work out I'll ask you for that favor. Thanks again!!!
