NEXT GENERATION MINISTRYS

First, find out if Next Gen Concierge Ministry is available for your wedding date. In addition we will need to know your  wedding venue and location.

Once We have confirmed that we are available for your date and location, the next step is for us to meet. This is usually done on Monday afternoons or evenings at your home, or via zoom because of the current situations. Our meeting is usually done after all your forms are filled out and returned to our office. You may download the forms on our "Forms Page" or contact the office at 857-364-1059 with your name and address and a hard copy will be sent to you.

To Secure us for the wedding please make sure the Wedding Agreement is complete and turned in. You will find Instructions on the first page.You  will need to mail in the signed Agreement along with deposit check of $100.00. Once I receive your signed agreement and deposit, I will formally commit to your wedding date. Unfortunately I am not able to hold dates without the agreement or deposit.

A pre-cana class is recommended.  if you take the class with Next Generation it is usually 4 to 6 meetings, or  a 1 time meeting with zoom  assignments. Pre-cana with Next Generation is not necessary for your Wedding. We do recommend the book "5 Love Languages," which is the base for the Pre Cana course.

The Stipend for a complete wedding with rehearsal and ceremony is $275.00. This fee includes a pre-ceremony meeting, emails, and all phone calls necessary to ensure the development of your personalized ceremony script and all revisions. A wedding rehearsal if desired, officiating at your ceremony, and processing your marriage license. These services may vary based on the needs and desires of the couple.

I am a non denominational ordained minister. As Such  I officiate many different faith ceremonies between a man and woman.  We can incorporate into your wedding many smaller ceremonies such as  Communion, Unity Candles, Love Locks, Unity Cross, Sand Ceremony, Hand Fasting, Etc... Your wedding can be held in many different venues, such as Golf Country Clubs, Church, Beach, Your Home, A Hall, Etc... You are encouraged to make it your own. My job is to help you tell your love story and to do it in a way that is joyful and respects your values and beliefs.

All our ceremonies last an average between 20 to 30 minutes. This time starts the moment the bride is given to the groom.

1.First Treat your officiant and vendors as the highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals they are and not as  hired hands. They want to do their best for you. Listen to their recommendations and respond to their requests  in a timely manner.

2.Second hire an experienced wedding planner, take all the stress off of yourself. These folks have done hundreds of weddings and know how to manage the details even to the smallest ones that may turn up.

3.Third Hire a great DJ/Sound Tech whether indoors or outdoors, there is nothing more disappointing than for months of planning in creating the perfect ceremony to be wasted because only the front row can hear you.
