Pre-Marital Coaching

After such an investment of time, energy and money in the marriage ceremony… don’t you think it wise to invest in the marriage to come? I would love to guide you both through my Pre-Marital Coaching course.

​

We’ll typically meet at your home, or wherever you are comfortable.  Much of the time is spent in the “Nearlywed Game” style – where I am seeing how well you know each other, and what you can discover about each other.  We will discuss similarities and differences.  We will talk about significant growing-up experiences, parents, communication, love languages, future goals for your life together – and experiences from my own marriage!  I may recommend some books for you to purchase and read or some websites that will be helpful down the road.  I think your investment of time and money will be well worth it – and we’ll have some great laughs along the way.

​

After completing the coaching, I’ll give you both a form to take to the Duval or St. John's County Clerk’s Office and you will receive your marriage license on the spot, as well as a discount of $25 off the $86 license fee.  For Florida residents, there is a three-day waiting period for your license if you have not completed a class by a registered instructor (me!)

If you are coming from out-of-state, you can get your license immediately at the clerk’s office without the coaching, by both parties showing proof of out-of-state residence, driver’s license, SS# etc. You can still receive the discount by completing the course.

​

This makes a FANTASTIC WEDDING GIFT from someone who cares about your marriage!

Wedding Ceremonies

• After an initial meeting/FaceTime, if you choose FCC, I will ask you both to review and sign a contract for the services of FCC.

• You can scan the signed Contract back to me and Venmo your 50% Deposit to reserve your date!

• After talking about your dreams and visions, I will send you 2 ceremonies (A & B) that I think will be a good fit.

• You can cut and paste parts of them and by including more of your ideas/changes, we will construct your (C) ceremony.

• Your ceremony can incorporate Scripture, Prayer, Blessings, Special Readings, Recorded or Live Music.

• Your ceremony can be either a more or less religious ceremony.

• You can give me a topic for your message and I will write it just for you!

• We can personalize your ceremony with a unity candle, cross ceremony, sand ceremony, anniversary box, ethnic touches, family traditions, and/or music.

• We will develop your ceremony in person, using emails, phone calls or all three!

• A typical ceremony will last 20 min, but it can be longer or shorter - it's your ceremony!

• I want your ceremony to be just that, yours, but also meaningful, sacred, beautiful, expressive and fun!

• I may attend your Rehearsal Dinner and Reception if invited.

• I can offer some basic “first dance” steps, to make your moment even more special!

• I have a beautiful boat and would love to take you + friends to St Aug for lunch, though the Jax Bridges at night, or lunch at The Palms off Hecksher.

Renewal Ceremonies

Whether you’re celebrating one year, ten, twenty, twenty-five or fifty, I would be honored to officiate your Renewal Ceremony.

How fun would it be to assemble the previous cast of characters along with the new ones – maybe even grandkids?

Let’s talk about it and see what fun we can stir up!
