What Does My Countryside Ceremony Package Include?

Making Couples Happy Is What We Do

MY MISSION is to share my passion for love and marriage by offering couples the opportunity to celebrate their vows in the quiet, peaceful solitude of a countryside setting. True, faithful, and abiding love is a precious gift from God and a gift to be treasured. It is my greatest desire to honor that gift in each and every ceremony I write. I invite you to contact me concerning your upcoming marriage ceremony and I look forward to sharing Heaven's Grace and the gifts God has given me. .

MESSAGE FROM PASTOR PAM: Please keep in mind that my home is located in an outdoor country setting and is susceptible to all the wonderful sights and sounds of nature that make this the relaxing tranquil location that my couples have come to love and enjoy. I do everythng within my power to ensure that your visit is an enjoyable one and strive to make your wedding ABSOLUTELY perfect in every way. However, as diligent as I am, some things are beyond my control and I hope you will please understand and not be disturbed by occasional elemental weather changes and unexpected sounds of nature; i.e., wind, rain, dogs barking, traffic, etc. Weather conditions are unpredictable and as all of us know, they can change at any time. In the event of bad weather you are always welcome to use my living room as an alternative location for your ceremony providing you have 10 or less guests. I also have access to a local church if you would like to hold your ceremony there. If neitiher of these are viable alternatives, it is suggested that a safe and secure second option be arranged in order that your ceremony can proceed as scheduled. If a second option is not secured and your ceremony has to be canceled, I will be happy to transfer any monies paid to another date and time of your choosing provided that my schedule permits and I am available to perform your ceremony at that time.

Things You Need to Know Prior to Your Countryside Wedding Ceremony?

* I officiate all of my own ceremonies and take great pride in the fact that each and every one is delivered with "heart" and "passion".

* Ceremonies held at my home are considered Christian Worship Services and are officiated tenderly, reverently and respectfully.

* My only requirements are that couples truly love each other, that they understand the importance and sanctity of marriage and that they have a sincere desire to be united as Husband and Wife under God's Blessing. That's it!

* We are proud of the quiet, serene atmosphere that is so much a part of our surroundings and are happy to share that beauty with you and your guests.

* There is no more lovely scenery than that which nature provides and we make every effort to make our wedding areas beautiful. No further decorating is necessary, but you may bring your own decorations, if desired.

* If you would like to use your own decorations, they must be removed promptly following your ceremony and everything put back the way it was when you arrived.

* I allow one hour per ceremony and ask that you and your guests plan to arrive no sooner than 10 minutes prior to the start of your ceremony.

* Please come dressed and ready as changing facilities are not available.

* Seating is not provided, but you are welcome to bring chairs, hay bales or anything you would like to ensure that your guests are comfortable during the ceremony. Many times guests prefer to gather around the Bride and Groom and stand during the ceremony.

* All couples must present a valid West Virginia Marriage License prior to the start of their Ceremony (Does not apply to Vow Renewals or Commitment Ceremonies)

* Any Ceremony performed without a valid West Virginia Marriage License will be considered a Commitment Ceremony only and will not hold legal status.

* We are happy to include a Complimentary Photo Package as part of your Countryside Wedding Ceremony package. Photos will be delivered digitally, by email within one day of your ceremony. Collages will be sent to your home of record by U.S. Mail.

* No Personal or Professional Photography and/or Videography is permitted on the property. [NO EXCEPTIONS]

* Cameras and Personal Video Recording Devices are not permitted on the property [NO EXCEPTIONS]

* Telecommunication devices; cell phones, blackberries, and such must be turned off prior to the start of the ceremony. [NO EXCEPTIONS]

* Booking is first come first serve and dates will be held with a 50% NONREFUNDABLE deposit with final payment being due two weeks prior to the ceremony.

* If by chance you find it necessary to change the date of your ceremony, all monies will be fully transferrable to the new date, provided that my schedule permits and I am available to perfrom your service at that time.

* Short-Notice and Last-Minute Ceremonies are always welcome. Weddings booked within a 24 hour window may incur additional fees.

* Guest count is limited to no more than 25 people at my Countryside Gazebo, and no more than 50 at my Countryside Pasture Setting. (This count does not include the Bride, Groom, or Bridal Party)

* Seating is not provided and the couple is responsible for obtaining chairs, hay bales, etc. for their guests, as well as for their removal at the end of the ceremony.

* Your wedding is a special moment in your life and if you would like to have your father or other designated person walk you down the aisle, I encourage you to do that.

* I welcome the opportunity for you to share the enjoyment of your "first dance as husband and wife" immediately following your ceremony. I have a wide selection of songs and if you choose one that I don't have, I will be happy to download it.

* I do not host wedding receptions at my home; however, I can recommend several wonderful restaurants and facilities in the area that can accommodate your needs.

* We take great effort to ensure that your experience at my home is an enjoyable one and that your needs are met in every way.

* That being said, I ask that you please be respectful of the fact that this IS my personal residence and not a public venue.

* By appointment only. .

NOTE: My weddings are scheduled to allow one hour per ceremony and it is encouraged that couples make every effort to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the ceremony start time. When the ceremony does not begin promptly at the hour it is scheduled, it cuts into the next couple's time and does not allow them the experience they expect and deserve. That being said, there will be a $50 per 15 minute late fee for weddings that do not start on time. This fee is geared to protect my couples from being inconsiderate of one another and also to allow me to do the best job possible in providing a beautiful, memorable wedding day. If more than 15 minutes late I reserve the right to cut out part of the ceremony to compensate for the time difference. I do everything within my power to make your ceremony perfect and starting the wedding on schedule helps that to happen. Thank you for your consideration and I appreciate your understanding.
