*** Deposit and contract required to secure your date. 

 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.

 Hire a Professional !  This is your wedding day . The start of  your new life . 

 Why go to a  Justice of the peace  or a mayor  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 !!!

 Some thoughts and words of advise:

 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 !  Uncle Henry may mean well , but he has never performed a ceremony or filled out a license before. 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. It is the beginning of the rest of your new lives together.  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.It's too late when you are standing at the altar and realize the person performing your ceremony has no clue what they are doing . This creates problems for the photographers and Dj and well , because they are trying to get the ceremony in order intead of doing the job you hired them for .

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.

 

   About Linda Moore :

Named " The Angel of Love" by friends and couples, I am legally licensed and have been Performing Non- Denominational Wedding Ceremonies since 1998. I have been in the wedding business as a consultant since 1988.   The service  can be as short or  long as you'd like. A lovely Civil or  religious service . How about a renewal of vows ?  Sand or candle unity? I have all the items you need  listed on my contract or you may provide your own. I'd like  your wedding to be the day of your dreams! I treat every couple the way I would like my  own son or daughter to be  attended  on their wedding day. I am always just an email, phone call or text away if you need help with planning .

I really enjoy the wedding business !
4 people to 400. Beach or hall, No event is to small ! [ or "Intimate" as we in the wedding business say. ]

As a little girl I loved to play "Bride dress up"  making  bridal tiaras from 1960's rhinestone bracelets!! Ha ha .. Little did I know I would grow up to make real bridal headpieces. 

 I was first employed as  a tour guide where I learned to speak clearly and handle large groups of people. I then became a consultant in Bridal Sales, alterations and custom designed wedding veils . [ I still  restore  antique and family heirloom headpieces ]  It's not unusual to find me [ Linda] in the bridal room lacing up bridesmaid dresses or helping the bride.

 I dress  appropriately in either a suit or, summer dress if the bride/groom  requests casual attire.

  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.

  About Jim Moore: 

     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 .

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.

  About Lori  McNally : 

Lori McNally Officiant   licensed since 2017 she  joined  our business in 2019  as an officiant .She has been working  in the wedding business with us  behind the scenes  for 6 years.  In addition to  beach and other locations , Lori is also our " Lighthouse  officiant "  as she has made several trips up the Cape May light  for small ceremonies at the top. 

 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 ]
