Services
Ceremony: $150.00
The basic ceremony package is perfect for the bride and groom who want a personalized wedding ceremony without the designer price tag. It includes the creation of a custom ceremony just for them, based entirely on their selections and specifications, as well as an opportunity for them to read and revise the complete text of their ceremony prior to the wedding. And, of course, it also covers the delivery of their service, the mailing of their marriage license, and a complimentary bound copy of the ceremony for the bride and groom to keep.
Rehearsal: $50.00
Ceremony rehearsals are never required, though are sometimes strongly suggested - particularly when there is a large bridal party or several small children involved. This package add-on includes a one (1) hour rehearsal to help organize the processional, provide tips on how and where to stand and go through the order of the service to be sure that the bride and groom are ready and relaxed for their special day.
Travel: $0.50 per mile
All events occurring outside of Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties will be assessed a travel fee of $0.50 per mile one-way. All events, meetings and rehearsals, unless conducted consecutively, will be billed separately. Consecutive events such as rehearsals and weddings that cross days and that occur more than sixty (60) miles from An Essential Event’s home location will also be subject to any applicable lodging and meal expenses to be billed at cost to the customer.
