Iowa Wedding Minister, Iowa Weddings, Iowa Wedding Officiant

Being an Ordained Minister and a Professional DJ has been a blast for the past 11 years. Lately I have noticed that there has been a swarm of "New" professionals in both fields that claim to have years and years of experience. I have been hired to do the audio at ceremonies where the "minister" couldn't even pronounce the couples name correctly and forgot many parts of the ceremony altogether. I have also been the one performing the ceremony and at the reception been subject to some awfull DJ's..... Because of this we are offering all of our couples a unique and special deal. Hire us to perform the ceremony AND DJ your reception and we will only charge you 50.00 above our DJ prices to perform the ceremony. Our DJ package is very reasonably priced and we are true proffessionals. We provide state of the art digital equiptment with back up systems so there is never a problem with faulty equiptment. Our lighting effects are always included. We do not charge extra for anything other than additional time if the couple desires it. So when you check out all your options, please consider what we have to offer you. Thank You

Your wedding day is something that you've thought about your whole life. You've invested a lot of heart, time, energy, and money into seeing that it goes right and reflects you, your relationship, and your values. Weddings in Iowa range from $4000.00 - $25,000.00 Why, with so much at stake, emotionally and financially, entrusts it all to an inexperienced, untrained Officiant?

My name is Reverend Gilbert McBride and I am an Iowa Wedding Officiant performing wedding ceremonies for the public in Iowa and Southern Wisconsin

You may use my 11 plus years of experience planning, coordinating, and performing non-denominational, inter-faith, religious and non-religious wedding ceremonies to create a wedding ceremony that's right for you. As an ordained Non-Denominational minister, I work with all faiths, including those who are not religious and those who are spiritual in their own way. Together, we can create a wedding ceremony that is special, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

It's Your Wedding Day. Make certain that it's everything that you have wanted, hoped for and desired. You and your beloved may have different faiths, have different feelings about faith, or be non-religious. Your wedding can be spiritual and still reflect both your backgrounds. I'd love to plan with you to help create a personalized wedding ceremony that reflects your wishes, feelings and beliefs.

How do we start?

First of all, your first meeting is free. We will go over all the details of your ceremony, discuss additional options and smaller ceremonies, this can be done either in person, by phone, or by email.

I serve as a "full-service" wedding minister, facilitating all elements of your wedding ceremony

The wedding package includes everything, including coordinating with the musicians, working with the site manager and working with the photographer to ensure no "prime photo ops" are missed, managing the ushers, organizing the parents and wedding party, conducting the rehearsal, as well as writing and re-writing the entire scripting of the wedding ceremony.
The fee for this full-service officiating is $225 for an intimate small ceremony ( small ceremony includes the bride,groom,2-4 attendants and 25 or less guests) with a same day rehearsal if the couple needs a rehearsal. There may be an extra charge for a rehearsal the day prior, and travel more than 50 miles
$375 for a larger wedding. (More than 4 attendants and more than 25 guests) This price includes (meeting together, writing up the scripting, re-writes, facilitating the ceremony, There may be an extra charge for a rehearsal the day prior, and travel more than 50 miles.
Every wedding ceremony is special and has its own set of unique requirements, so I put just as much time, effort, and thought into a small, intimate ceremony as into any other, thus the fee is always the same. Here are all the steps involved.
By the time your wedding arrives, you will be completely comfortable and anticipating your wedding ceremony. You will have many wonderful things to think about on your wedding day, but you won't have to worry how it will go. You will be reassured and comfortable knowing that you will be thrilled with your wedding ceremony and that you will know exactly what to expect on your big day!
