Do you need a rehearsal and should the officiant attend?:

The rehearsal can "make or break" the wedding ceremony. Often it is the first time the ushers get to see who grandma is; or the first time you have full access to the ceremony site. Many officiants do not have a written, prepared, rehearsal plan or will attend a rehearsal but not coordinate, direct or lead it. They will depend on your friends, family, planner, coordinator or hotel staff to do all of the work while they just stand there and watch.

We understand the importance of a rehearsal. It must be done right so that your wedding ceremony can go as beautifully as planned. At the same time, it is not a military drill and should be fun and memorable (after all; everyone needs to remember it for the ceremony).

The JaxNotary officiant has 7 years experience with close to  500 weddings; thus he has the knowledge, patience and expertise to ensure the rehearsal (and wedding ceremony) are perfect. We have a clear, easy plan for conducting rehearsals, it is adjustable and always available upon request.

As you search for the best officiant, please remember three things:

A. Florida law, ch 205, states: Anyone providing merchandise or services to the public, even through a one-person company or home based occupation, must pay a city and/or county Business Tax to operate. This simple law helps ensure that you are offered the best service from an officiant who is qualified, registered with the state, insured, licensed and bonded. We are one of only a few officiants that follow this law. Click on this link and type in JaxNotary to find my information.

B. We understand it is not our wedding. Click here to see what others have said about our services.

C. When asking how much an officiant charges please remember your perfect wedding should have the best quality officiant performing it. You would NEVER call a car dealer and ask "how much is a car?" without finding out the year, make, model, CarFax report, finance rate etc. You'd probably want to know if you are a buying a BMW vs. a Pinto. So why make this mistake with your wedding officiant?



Note 1: We use Google Maps from our office on Main street, Jacksonville, Florida 32218. Add $25 for wedding locations 26 to 49 miles away. Add $50 for wedding locations 50 to 74 miles away; contact me for wedding distances 75 miles or more. Click here for map and directions.

Note 2: Things not in a "basic" ceremony may include candle lighting, hand joining, sand blending and other special items. I WILL do these things and can supply the candles, sand pouring vases and more at an additional cost.

Note 3: Meetings; Find a good date-time and we will schedule a location. Click here If you want to meet and have not provided a deposit; Meeting location is at the Starbucks Coffee shop in Riverside: http://www.starbucks.com/store/16184 or at a location agreed upon by Officiant.
