DO YOU PERFORM RELIGIOUS OR NON-RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES?

Yes, I have performed lovely ceremonies for either preferences. Part of the ceremony process will involve me listening to your wants and desires for YOUR wedding day! I would be happy incorporate religious elements in the ceremony and/or comfortable to reflect your values & beliefs, whatever they may be, even if we walk different life paths. I aim to ensure that the ceremony respects both of your families and traditions, while also genuinely focusing on who you are as a couple. Striking the right balance is very important to me.

​

ARE YOU A LEGAL MINISTER?

Yes. We are in an odd time and age where folks can do a "one-click" online moment and become "ordained". Making sure your Officiant is LEGAL is important! I am a legally licensed and ordained Minister.  I decided that I love my job so much that I jumped through the hoops and have proudly obtained my ordination.  Legally, I'm Reverend J. Webb and this allows me to perform court-upheld ceremonies throughout the United States.  

DO YOU OFFICIATE SAME-SEX CEREMONIES?

Yes, I support marriage equality and would be honored to be given the opportunity to legally marry same-sex couples.

WHAT ABOUT DESTINATION WEDDINGS? ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?

Of course! I have been bitten by the wanderlust bug.  I enjoy seeing different places and experiencing different cultures.  

​

***Travel fees will be discussed per ceremony needs.

WOULD YOU HIKE UP A MOUNTIAN WITH US?

Yes! Outdoor ceremonies are some of my favorite.  I am happy to hike to whatever location you and your Beloved choose.  Just pack extra snacks. Ha!

​

If visiting from out of town, I'm happy to share some "incredible view" locations.  Another tip: Ask you photog as they will have some great ideas too! 

​

***Locales outside a 30 minute radius of downtown Asheville will have additional travel fees to your ceremony package. 

HOW DO WE OBTAIN A NORTH CAROLINA WEDDING LICENSE?

Each couple is responsible for obtaining their own legal marriage license...for ANY CEREMONY (includes elopements & larger weddings). This begins at any NC Register of Deeds office and is a pretty simple process. I will help answer questions during each couple's consultation call.

 

Click HERE for more info. Once I receive the marriage license in hand, I handle the paperwork from there.  Yay! 

DO I HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN IN CASE I HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND CAN'T MAKE YOUR CEREMONY?

Yes, always! I do have a list of lovely Officiants that I trust to help me out (& vice-versa).  You will get married! The substitute Officiant would have instant access to your personal ceremony. I would be in clear communication of what the emergency is. I take your wedding day experience very seriously, so it is important to have this plan in place for everyone’s peace of mind.

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?

Yes. I require a $150 deposit at the time of booking (Your LOVE STORY - Custom CEREMONY) or the full amount of $225 (for BETTER THAN THE COURTHOUSE- EXPRESS ELOPEMENTS). The remaining balance due within 48 hours your wedding date. I don't have a preference on the payment plan that you care to make, as long as it's paid in full before your wedding...because nobody wants a bill on their wedding day! 

​

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

After living through a pandemic, I understand that life can throw us some, crazy curve-balls.  I explain specific details in the simple contract that we all sign during a booking, but in short, I ask that IF a situation arises, to please be in clear communication with me about what your needs are.  I always strive to respect you and understand that uncontrollable circumstances sometimes arise but similarly, I desire respect for my time and efforts too...if it's at all possible, let's reschedule soon!
