The Cherished Moment service is provided for couples who wish to get married in a private, intimate ceremony. You may have a reading provided by Pastor Jack and an optional unity ceremony.
Chose this service if you will only have a best man and maid or matron of honor in your wedding party and no formal processional. Intimate ceremonies are generally conducted in homes, backyards, parks, and restaurants.
Payment in full is required to book this ceremony. No advisement session is necessary due to the nature of this service. If you would like to meet with Pastor Jack beforehand it can be arranged.
The fee listed for this service is based on ceremonies held with the city of Rochester only. A travel fee is added for ceremonies held outside of this initial service area.
