Minister Long Beach CA Services

By Jana Serrano


Numerous people need officiant services in California, including christenings, funerals, commitment ceremonies and weddings. Finding your Minister Long Beach CA that will complete your ceremony can be difficult to complete if you aren't sure what to look for. There are numerous things to look out for, and important to remember when searching.

Your officiant will be determined by the types of ceremonies offered and the religion that you claim. There are religions that do not use this title, but can still complete the same types of services. The Catholic religion won't use Reverends, but Southern Baptist churches do. Southern Baptists have officiants that are also called Brother, Father, Sister and Minister.

If you want to find one to do your wedding ceremony, you can check to see if they are registered in Long Beach, CA to be able to do so legally. Calling your local County Clerk office will allow you to ask about this possibility, in the county you will be having your ceremony in. Just because your ceremony will take place in one county doesn't mean that the officiant you hire will be able to complete it there legally, so it is ideal to check.

When checking on your Reverend, the easiest way is to ask them where they are registered. Many have become able to do this by means of online websites who are not affiliated with any local church. Therefore if you are not associated with a congregation and are wanting to be married in a church, it is ideal to ask if the person you will be hiring is associated with one locally.

For a local church use, ask the caretaker of the rectory about any open times or dates. If you aren't a congregation's member, you can normally pay a higher fee to use the church for your ceremony. The fees and availability for your chosen church will be different and the deals you get will be based on this.

When you get a location set, you should ask what the price for your officiant is as well. Most ask for an honorarium, or a minimum donation. The set price for specific jobs can be different based on each person, so get a price from a handful of people to get a good value.

Most officiants get a schedule to fill very quickly, so a deposit as well as their entire fee is normally required prior to the date. The deposit is normally put towards the fees for the ceremony, but not all of the for hire officiants do this. So you should ask ahead of time what will be required as far as your money is concerned so there are no surprises.

When you hire someone for the ceremony, it doesn't mean your entire ordeal is paid for. If someone is needed for your rehearsal, for planning or directing then it may cost you more than it does without these services added in. For more details on what all is going to be included in your costs, ask the officiant you hire so you are aware of anything else that may need to be paid for.
