Wedding
I added this Wedding webpage with frequently asked questions because I marry couples and get several inquiries even though officiating weddings isn't all that I do. 

Attention:

My outdoor venue at my lake house called "Simms Place" is now operational and could be rented out for your wedding. My Bed and Breakfast and AirBnb Unit should be available soon. 

Besides my other services, I now offer wedding planning, DJ and Photography services for couples.

Answer:
 For a number of reasons such as convenience, stress reduction, reliability, quality and affordability for my wedding couples not to mention that I've come across several DJ's and Photographers who weren't reliable, lacked professionalism and were too expensive for many couples I've married. On top of that, numerous DJ's and Photographers went out of business due to Covid. Thus, created a supply and demand issue for wedding couples. And some of the same things could also be said about wedding venues which is why I have a venue that I personally own and operate called Simms Place. For more information about it, please go to www.simms-place.com

21). Do you have any advice that you could give to wedding couples? 
Answer:
 Do your research and make sure your wedding ceremony is legal. Thus, you should only deal with legitimate, reputable, competent, experienced, professionals/entities who can provide you with a legal and quality wedding ceremony.
