Weddings

Not everyone wants a grand wedding in front of 500 guests. Some couples like the more personal touch, with less guests and in more intimate and comfortable surroundings. If you want a small chapel wedding, then you came to the right place.

Both Reverends Deborah Ehmann and Deborah Picariello are officially ordained ministers of the White Rose Ministry, who will officiate your wedding with professionalism and care.

We will perform your wedding at your venue or at our cozy chapel. Our small chapel is  private and makes your ceremony a very personal one, if you desire. Our couples are pleasantly surprised and put at ease as they enter our wedding chapel.

Our ceremonies are avaible in various formats, including, but not limited to: religious, spiritual, and civil. Romantic overtones can be applied to any ceremony at your request. We also offer a ceremony that is read in both English and Spanish, if requested. Please let us know in advance.

Interview Notice
If you would like an interview or an an appointment to "check out our chapel", the fee is $50. Unfortunately, we have to charge this fee, as many couples are now, "shopping for a wedding minister" and will take an hour or more of my time just to decide if they want me or not. Sadly, I don't have enough hours in a day to sit for hours on end doing interviews and answering questions, while couples 'shop'. I am sure they can tell through a phone call whether they have interest or not.

Pre-Marital Counseling
We offer a pre-marital counseling course. This is a six week, once a week commitment to be completed before the wedding. Topics covered include: but are not limited to: relationship issues, finance, what to expect from life after marriage, household responsibilities, children and more. Call or email for more information.

The Wedding Memories Book
This book contains a copy of the ceremony script, a Certificate of Marriage from the White Rose Ministry the (certificate is suitable for framing), your Marriage Certificate, (the marriage certificate is often called a marriage license), and a few other items that are specific to your wedding. The ceremony is printed on color coordinated paper that compliments your wedding designs. This book is available to all couples, but is only included in the higher priced packages. If you would like to purchase a book, please be sure to give Reverend Deb your request at least a week in advance. Price: $20

We accept all major credit cards


Retainer Fees
We accept cash, check or credit card for your retainer fee. Your ceremony is not considered "booked" until we receive a non-refundable deposit of at least 50%. The balance is due no later than one week before your wedding date if you are paying by check. We accept cash only on wedding days.

Ceremony Scripts
* If you have chosen to have a ceremony written specifically for your ceremony, we need all of your updated information at least two weks before the ceremony. Any changes made by the couple and not received by us in due time cannot be guaranteed added to your ceremony, since changes in script need time to write and review to be presented properly.  
* If you have chosen to have a ceremony written specifically for you, your deposit will pay for your specially written ceremony. If you cancel your booking after receiving your ceremony script for review, we will consider your deposit as payment for the ceremony script, since copyright of that ceremony script belongs to Reverend Deborah A. Ehmann. Thanks for understanding!

Rehearsals
Due to the time involved, (usually an hour - the bridal party must arrive early or on time), and distance for traveling, the rehearsal fee is $150 plus the mileage fee if applicable. Late arrivals are not our responsibility.

Mileage Note
A mileage fee applies over 5 miles, please ask if this applies to your location.
