Ceremony

I. Bronze Package*

The content of this ceremony is fairly simple and perfect for the couple that want an intimate, straightforward service with just the basics. Dave Di Raddo will provide all the content for the ceremony. There is NO wedding party and only two or three "guests" will stand with you to witness the ceremony. The wedding location will be at a residence located within 10 miles of our home office in Upper Allen, Mechanicsburg, PA. It may be indoors or out, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.
Fee: $275.00

II. Silver Package*

You desire a little more input into your service with a few additions to the content. A small bridal party may be incorporated. The wedding will be at a location of your choice and there is No Rehearsal. There will be a gathering of friends and family to help celebrate the day with you. There are several added elements to the ceremony which may include special music, readings, unity candle or other elements selected by the couple. Dave Di Raddo will provide a template for you to create your wedding.

IV. Platinum Package

This is going to be an event. A very large wedding with many elements added to the service there will be a rehearsal the night before and additional meetings as needed in preparation leading up to the rehearsal. Dave Di Raddo will provide a template for you to create your wedding at the first meeting but there will be on-going discussion to create the ceremony content.
Fee: $600.00 and up

* NOTE - Each package includes a one hour in-person consultation between Dave and the couple. If additional meetings are requested by the client, an additional fee of $75 per meeting will be applied. (Does not apply to the Platinum Package.)

Deposit

Once the couple has determined that they wish to use my services, a non-refundable deposit*of $175 is required to secure the date and time. Once the deposit is received, no other event can occupy or interfere with your ceremony/rehearsal time. UNTIL THE DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED HOWEVER, THE DATE AND TIME WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE AND OPEN.

A phone conversation or submitted registration form DOES NOT constitute a secured date.

*Note - When paying by check, please make payment to "Dave Di Raddo."

Wedding/Rehearsal Time Changes: IMPORTANT

Following your in-person meeting with me,if it becomes necessary for the date and/or time to change from what you provided on your original registration form, you MUST IMMEDIATELY contact me to make sure that my schedule can accomodate the new date/time. I will make every effort to work within your new schedule but this cannot be guaranteed as I often have multiple weddings on the same day and weekend.

*Note- In the event I cannot accomodate the new date or time, please see the Cancellation Policy section below.

Payment

The balance of the fee and the marriage license should be presented at the time of the rehearsal the night/day before. All checks are to be made payable to: Dave Di Raddo

NOTE: NO REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED IF A WEDDING IS CANCELLED BY THE CLIENT.

For those weddings not incorporating a rehearsal - the balance should be paid prior to the start of the wedding ceremony as well as providing the marriage license which will be filled out and the couple's copy returned to them.

Cancellation Policy

NO REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED FOR PAYMENTS MADE IF THE WEDDING IS CANCELLED BY THE CLIENT OR YOUR TIME/DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED IN TIME TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY SCHEDULE..

Travel

The above fees include travel by car to and from the first meeting and 20 total miles of travel for any additional meetings, the rehearsal and wedding ceremony. Once that distance has been reached, a mileage fee of $1.00 per mile may be applied.

I will preform your ceremony in any state or country (adjusted fees will apply). Should air travel be required to reach the site, it is the responsibility of the couple to purchase one (1) coach-class, round trip ticket departing from and returning to the Harrisburg (PA) International Airport (MDT).

Lodging

Should the ceremony be in excess of 2 ½ hours driving time from the Dave Di Raddo's home office, accommodations should be made at a moderately priced lodging facility with reasonable expenses covered such as meals, tolls, parking, etc..We reserve the right to accept or decline this feature.

Additional Fees

Time is very important. There are very few instances when your wedding will be my only wedding that day. Should your wedding be late in getting started, there is the unfortunate possibility that I may have to leave in order to honor my other obligations. I will do everything I possibly can to avoid this scenario but excessively late starting services due to inadequate planning, late arrivals or other controllable factors cannot be a reason that someone else's wedding is ruined. In the event that I am able stay and wait, for each 15 minutes that the wedding is delayed, a $25.00 surplus fee will be added to a total of $100.00. If the wedding cannot start within that time-frame, the surplus fee will be paid and a rescheduled date will be arranged. Additional fees may be applied.

Once a fee has been given and accepted, any significant changes added to the level of service originally requested will carry additional fees with it. They would include but may not be limited to: adding a rehearsal, requesting additional in-person consultations, adding more than 2 elements to the service that will increase the length of the ceremony, etc...
