FH and I met with Pastor April last night, she already sent the first draft for us to go over and make change and its so beautiful. She's very friendly and makes your ceremony very personal by asking you lots of questions about what you want. Her fee is $500 for a custom written ceremony, which I think is pretty standard.

One of my BMs used her and did an awesome job so it was no question for us.

We are going with Reverend Rudy Tufaro. Very down to earth and funny. We clicked with him. We also met someone else but I didn't feel she was professional. He's about $400. But I don't think it's about price.... I heard good things about Pastor April too. Good luck

This! We are so happy with Father Joe. He is honestly one of the most genuine and sincere men I have ever met (besides FH that is)... He even offers free counseling services for life and we have been going through some family and medical stuff so just wanted a 3rd party ear to hear us out... we met with him last night and he really put us at ease.. It just totally reconfirmed our choice in having him perform our wedding.
Good luck with your search!

Ditto. Pastor April is awesome! We are doing a civil type of ceremony for $400. I chose a beautiful reading to be incorporated and she sent me a draft of the ceremony and it's incredible!

Completely agree, he's absolutely amazing! FH is deployed and he calls me every few weeks to check up on how I'm doing and always offers that if I ever need to talk to someone I can go see him. He did the same thing with us with counseling. He did a run through of our ceremony when we were there and it was beautiful, he had me in tears!
