Marriage Application - Joining Hands Rochester

Application for Marriage Services

* indicates required field
You may call Pastor Jack at 585-324-0230 with questions, but it is recommended that you fill out an application if you have a specific date in mind. Upon receipt of your application you will be sent an agreement form by email. You may meet with Pastor Jack once before making your decision without obligation. However, the agreement form must be completed and submitted with a nonrefundable retainer in order to confirm Pastor Jack's services for your ceremony. If you wish to book Pastor Jack's services, be prepared for this at your initial meeting or before. Please note - evening meeting times fill up quickly, and Pastor Jack is usually booked at least a month in advance for these slots during busier times (May through October).
Due to the extremely high demand on his services, Pastor Jack operates on a first come, first served basis, and will not hold dates or tentatively book ceremonies or rehearsals without an agreement form and minimum $100 retainer, which is non-refundable.
Due to Pastor Jack's schedule, ceremonies and rehearsals must be completed within 45 minutes of specified start times unless other arrangements are made. Any change in ceremony or rehearsal times or dates are contingent upon Pastor Jack's availability, and may require a new agreement form.
The bride and groom are required by NY State law to obtain a Marriage License at least 24 hours but no more than 60 days before the wedding ceremony. This license must be provided to Pastor Jack before the ceremony begins. It is against NY State law for an officiant to solemnize a marriage for a couple who do not have a valid NY State Marriage License in the name of the bride and groom.
NY State law also requires the bride, groom, and witnesses signing the license to be capable of advised consent at the time of the wedding. If the bride, groom, or the witnesses signing the license are incapable of advised consent due to intoxication at the time of the wedding, Pastor Jack reserves the right to refuse his service.
