We are also using All Seasons Weddings. I was very specific in what I wanted - and I actually got to do phone interviews with 4 officiates and then decide.

We are being charged $300 as the website says. Factor in if you want them to do a rehersal it's an extra $100, so that could be where some of the price difference comes in.

We're using someone from All Seasons as well, although only by coincidence. Shes a friend of the family and I had chosen her before I found out she was affiliated with them. She's charging $450 (which is a friend's and family fee and substantially lower than her normal cost) but she's also a certified wedding planner. She's going to orchastrate the entire ceremony and help us plan and write the ceremony. She seems very involved, so we're happy with the higher cost. From what she's told me mom, she usually spends at least 10 hours with the couple working out details and so forth.

[quote][b]Evan1009 (7/8/2008)[/b][hr]it says right on thw website that the fee is $300, you pay $150 with a credit card to book it, then 150 to the officiant, how could they charge you more when the price is right on their official website? Maybe more if they have to travel, but mine lives in the same city as me and is acctually a friend of a friend, I can talk to her whenever I like on MSN. The company is really good, they donate a lot to charities from the money they make.[/quote]

Good question Evan! You're going to have to ask quite a few brides in the newlywed section now as several of them were quoted over $300. You're right, I would tend to think travel time is what occurred for the fluctuation of rates.

[quote][b]Missspunk (7/8/2008)[/b][hr]I am using ALL SEASONS. I did not pick the officiant we have but I did say what I was looking for in an officiant and pretty much got matched up close to what I said we were looking for. They quoted us $300 keep in mind the officiant does more than just attend for 30 minutes. They make sure all the paperwork is in order and at times they travel quite a distance. They also have to register your marriage so there is more behind the scenes work then you might think.

So far I have been happy with the quality of service they have provided me. We already met with our officiant and like her.[/quote]

That's a given. In fact, had our meeting with our officiant Monday night and he was awesome. We went over the entire ceremony with him, chose our pledges, vows, etc. He's quite a character!!! Just love him. Yes travel time is included in our $200 as well as our meeting with him and the actual wedding day ceremony. Also all the paperwork. Thought it would be nice to give the OP another option. Doesn't hurt. LOL.

I am using All Seasons and I picked my officiant. You can speak to them directly which is what I did before I booked. In my email to AS I asked them as to the persons availability and a contact number. I decided to use them once I spoke with the officiant, as pictures and bio's don't give you a feel for the individual.

Personally I think its important to speak with the person who is marrying you unless you are using a Justice of the Peace.

I didn't go with them. I looked online and found www.todayisourday.com. He only charges $200. I found that quite a few CB brides were actually quoted higher than $300 by All Seasons Weddings (read it in an old thread) and there was no consistency in the rates that they were quoted. Several brides were quoted several different fees and I couldn't justify spending that much money for 1/2 an hour of work. Good luck with your decision.

Here is the website, in case you don't have the link.
http://www.allseasonsweddings.com/

I'm not sure if they let you choose the officiant, but you do choose whether you want a man or woman. I'm lucky and know the officiant in my area and really like her.

they charge a total of $300, you pay $150 when you book online throught that website, and then $150 to the officiant in person.

I'm using vows that they have on the website and I LOVE them!

Hey ladies... I'm starting the search for our officiant, and was wondering if anyone has used All Season's Weddings. How does it work? do they let you pick your own officiant or do they pair you up with someone they think suits your style!? How much is the average cost, and were you satisfied with the service they provided?Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!
