Wedding, Speaker Request

Thank you for your interest in my services as a speaker, officiant, and/or Master of Ceremonies. After over 40 years of serving in ministry, as well as being a principal mover in the establishment of a local Toastmasters International group, and assisting many young couples in making the transition from single life to wedded bliss, I hope to be able to fulfill your expectation.

My primary interest is to meet your need for your occasion. I do not come to an event with my own agenda for how it should go, what should be done, or even considering what others think should be done.
For example, when assisting a young couple in wedding arrangements, my focus is on what the couple wants, not on the parent's expectations (which are sometimes unreasonable and more often than not, in conflict with how a bride and groom want their service to proceed). There is wisdom in negotiating those issues so peace will prevail and the bride's expectations are met.

So the questions are:

  • How can I assist you?
  • What can I do to make your planned events as special as you want it to be?

Some Information to Assist You


Ministry for Grief & Loss exists to provide a professional level of service in the spiritual and emotional management of grief and loss. I am also happy to meet with your family or group, to assist in honoring your recently-deceased loved one, give advice about your own plans, facilitate a meeting with your company or group, or give a professional and customized presentation to your group or company.

With over 40 years of ministry in the background, I can assist with professional and licensed (where necessary) wedding arrangements. I require that all requests for marriage be accompanied with a personal meeting with the engaged couple to determine whether I am the best person for your expected results. Of course, such personal meetings are at no cost, unless there is some stipulated travel expense (for which you will be responsible).
 
I am happy to meet your need according to our available time and schedule.  Although I am located in North San Bernardino (below Lake Arrowhead, near the San Manuel Casino and Resort), I am al in different areas of Southern California, most of the time. Given sufficient notice (usually minimum 6 months lead time), I can schedule your event in other areas of the country, too.  I have binding riders for Local and Non-Local presentations/appearances available to assist you in understanding what I expect of you, so that your event will be exactly what you want it to be.
 
Remuneration
  • While Ministry for Grief & Loss does not make a specific charge for services, we accept honorariums, customary in the funeral industry. If you have a question about what is an appropriate honorarium, we will be happy to give you the range of contributions provided by former clients.  
  • Remuneration for speaking events and other presentations is stipulated in advance. I will be happy to discuss the matter with you. As seen in the Local Rider and Non-Local Rider, we wil submit receipts for travel or other expense items for required reimbursement. We are always happy to discuss any anticipated charges before you make any commitment to us. 
  • Our Local and Non-Local riders outline specific costs that may be incurred by the client for any scheduled presentation/appearance(s).
  • Other than these costs, we request that you consider the time and effort expended to meet your need and that any honorarium or remunerative offering be consistent with the level of professional service we cheerfully provide. 
 
In some cases, such as for public presentations, I can work with your organization to establish reasonable registration fees that will cover any agreed honorarium and/or remunerative offering, as well as provide a reasonable offset of your client expenses. This is an excellent way for your costs to be covered, while still providing an excellent level of service to those you want to serve.
 
One More Thing
 
While Ministry for Grief and Loss provides suitable handouts and other materials at no cost, larger venues or certain types of large group presentations require reasonable charges for materials which may be distributed to participants/attendees.  I will be pleased to specify in advance what these costs will be and will work with you or your organization to insure that the lowest possible cost is incurred by your organization or its constituency. 
Thank you for the opportunity of serving your need!
