IMPORTANT LICENSE NOTE: If you do not live in NJ, you must apply for your license in the town you will be married. You may apply up to 6 months before your date , it takes 72 hours to prepare. Please contact the registrar in the town you will be holding your ceremony for an appointment. If you live in Nj , you must apply in the town where you live and bring the license with you on the wedding day . DO NOT fill in any blanks . This must be done by your officiant.

Why go to a Judge for a " Cattle call " wedding in the same room with people paying trffic tickets and more ,when you can hire a professional officiant ? As officiant we will make sure your ceremony is the beautiful , sentimental day you deserve. If you have 4 people or 400, It's your special day !!!

We have been receiving several calls from couples looking for "someone who knows what they are doing " because they have been to many bad internet minister ceremonies . Some people even buy robes and collars and call themselves Reverend ! This too is an issue with the registrars of towns not receiving your important paperwork filled out properly and in the allotted number of days. We also receive many frantic last minute calls every season , from couples who have asked the wrong people to perform their ceremony . For your wedding day you are interviewing someone to perform a very special event . There is more to a ceremony than just reading a few words in front of people . Ceremony coordination is just as important . This is why we speak to everyone who contacts us instead of just sending a price sheet.

We are based in South Jersey and travel exit 90 to exit 0 of Parkway and surrounding areas and are on registrar lists in Atlantic ,Camden ,Cape May , Gloucester,and Ocean counties etc. Towns such as , Toms River , Seaside , Long Beach Island , Deptford area , Egg harbor Township. [EHT ] Manahawkin , Margate , Ventnor , Ocean City and south to Avalon , Stone Harbor , Wildwood , and Cape May. Jim has climbed the the Light House 's in Lower Township [ Cape May ] and Barnegat.

Please see our "About " Page and "Testimonial " page for more background info about Linda and Jim .

No add on hidden fees. Often officiants will quote a price and then start adding on travel fee's and fee's for reading the unity ceremony etc.. It all becomes confusing and starts adding up.. When I quote that is the price. You may purchase extras listed on my contract if you like . Example : Arch rental , proffessional battery powered speaker and microphone sand or candle unity items.

I'm sure you will find our prices quite reasonable. There are many variables in performing a wedding ceremony. I prefer to speak with you to see all that is required before quoting a price. I'm sure you'd like to speak with your officiant as well before choosing someone to perform such an important service.

** Our congratulations to same sex couples now allowed to marry in New Jersey. **

ABOUT LINDA

** Linda has been legally licensed to perform ceremonies since 1998 and has been in the wedding business since 1989. Please click on the " About " link above left of Arch pictured at the top of this page to read about Jim and Linda's background in the wedding business.

If you prefer a man to officiate , My husband Jim Moore received his clergy license in 2007, and is also doing a wonderful job. I have been getting great reviews from brides and grooms about Jim's ceremonies. [ Of course! I have shown him everything I know ! lol, wink .] Please see testimonial page .

Some words of advice:

Officiating a ceremony is an honor and an important job ! Please be sure to hire a professional officiate/ celebrant who knows how to fill out and file your paper work properly. Many registrars will only allow a legally licensed proffessional to file your paper work. Mistakes on the legal document cause delays with the certificate of marriage.

All of our paperwork is filed promptly and with correct information.

Hire Local -We work from two locations.

I see many officiants from New York and Pennsylvania advertising they will perform beach weddings in Southern New Jersey.. In summer traffic that may not be such a great idea.

That is why we decided on our North Cape May residence which is also 10 minutes from Wildwood Nj, as well as our home near Atlantic City that is about 20 minutes from Brigantine, and Ocean City , and 25 minutes from LBI exit . It was a great move for us .

We travel to area's in a 70 mile radius of Atlantic City. I Love beach weddings, home or hall. Winter weddings are beautiful and a great idea in Cape May where all the Victorian BnB's are decorated for the Holidays!

Rental Items *Added value savings.

We also have decorated Bambo or white wedding arch, silk flower arrangements and tiki torches. My arch has been properly maintained and looks as pictured above . I have seen a few bamboo arches from florisits that are not as nice. Some are skinny bamboo that sways in the wind , others have started to decay and split. That is why I bought one of my own so I could provide good quality for my weddings.

[ There are photo's of my arches on rental page ]

Vendor referral list -

I offer this as a convenience to my couples.Many come from out of town and need reliable professionals for their wedding and have no idea who to call.

As officiant, my main concern is your ceremony . I connect you with people I have known and worked with for many years who have good reputations, talent and expertise.

Please call, text or use my contact page to reach me.

I will send several ceremonies once the deposit is received. You may use one the way it is written or make changes if you like.
