Officiant Services Pricing Guide
Marriage Ceremonies
*Idaho does not require Witnesses, but Oregon requires two.
Elopement
scroll for COVID note
Elopements involve minimal planning and traditionally the bride and groom hurry away to be secretly married. But by modern definition, they are spur of the moment, informal, intimate ceremonies, most often with just the Officiant, the Couple, and maybe witnesses*. This is a great alternative to a courthouse wedding.
Package Includes a quick informal ceremony. Available in the following cities; Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, and now Emmett!
$75
Gratuities are never expected but always appreciated.
Wedding or Vow Renewal
When you spend months planning your wedding or big anniversary vow renewal there are many details to cover. Arbor Vine Officiants encourage you to be hands on and we work with you to build the ceremony you envision for beginning your new life together or continuing the life you already share. We infuse your traditions and often we have ideas you may not have thought of yet.
Package Includes: Couple works with the Officiant to customize the ceremony, as an option we offer Rehearsal Facilitation, and we travel to your venue of choice.*
Price includes a $25 deposit to secure your ceremony date and time.
$125
Gratuities are never expected but always appreciated.
COVID ELOPEMENT NOTE:
We understand! Your plans are rapidly being revised and more often than not, more than once. We are here to help you go forward with those plans to become a married couple, even though it's not exactly how you imagined. Although we consider Elopements to be informal, if you bought the dress, WEAR the dress. Just let us know so that we may dress appropriately for your ceremony.
PLEASE follow all the local COVID guidelines. We want you to remain healthy and will be wearing our masks and maintaining social distance too.

Additional Fees
Wedding Rehearsal $50
We know how important this ceremony is for you and your family. We are experienced and our sole focus for the day is you and your ceremony. We work with your coordinator, if you have one, or we can help instruct a friend or family member with some day of duties to keep things running smoothly. We know that there might be hiccups, but we have the experience to minimize them.
Travel $50-150
We love to travel, weather permitting! The final price for all ceremonies more than 45 minutes from the Officiant's home will factor in travel distance, time, and lodging when necessary*.
