   Get Married Without Breaking The Bank

You want to get married, but you don't have a lot of money.  You don't want to go to the Justice Of The Peace for a canned ceremony because you still want something special.  Therefore, I created  Customized Weddings just for you.

Who I Am And What I Do

My name is Tanya.  I am a passionate, ordained wedding minister serving the thumb area of Michigan.  I will travel to your location anywhere in the thumb to marry the two of you on the date and time that you choose. 


Check My Availability

The first thing you do is call me at 989-712-0754 or 989-582-0405 to check if I am available for the date and time of your wedding.

How Will It Be Special

You choose any one of the pre-written ceremonies from this site.  Add and subtract anything you want from it or just leave it like it is.  If you want to include children or other family members in your ceremony, it is okay.  It's your ceremony, have it your way.  If you want to add a unification ceremony (unity candle, sand ceremony, rose ceremony, wine ceremony, etc)  to your original ceremony, that is okay too.  You can have special readings, music, whatever you want.  However, in order for your ceremony to be legal, you must include the statement of intent.  This is the "do you take" and "I do" part of the ceremony.

Then give me a call or send me an email telling me the exact wording you want in your ceremony and that is what I will say.

You choose the location and I will come to that location.  It can be indoors or outdoors, on the beach, in a park, in your house, on a boat (please have it tied or anchored to something), in a tent or wherever you want.

What You Need To Bring To Your Ceremony

You will need to bring your marriage license.  Did you know that you can get married anywhere you want in Michigan as long as you get your license from the county where one of you resides?  You also need to have two witnesses.  If you are eloping, I can provide these witnesses for you but they will each want $10 for serving as a witness for you. 

What It Costs

Package 1:  Simple Ceremony

A sweet and simple ceremony.  You can choose your own vows, readings and other basic elements to make the ceremony reflect your own personalities.  Includes phone consultation, email correspondence and a copy of your ceremony for you to keep.  A rehearsal is not included, since most simple and fairly brief ceremonies do not usually necessitate a walk-through. (and it is simply more economical).  If you would like a rehearsal, please see package 2.

$150 ($50 deposit  to hold the date for your wedding. The other $100 can be paid before or on the day of your wedding)

Package 2:  Ceremony and Rehearsal

This will include a seperate rehearsal day at the site of your wedding and assistance with coordination of wedding ceremony procession.  I recommend this for anyone who is planning a formal processional, has a wedding party that includes more than 4 people (bride, groom, best man, maid of honor) and/or if you simply want to have all the details ironed out and not have to orchestrate and coordinate the elements of the ceremony on your own.

$300 ($50 to hold the dates of your  rehearsal and wedding.  The other $250 can be paid on or before the day of your rehearsal.

Package 3: Hometown

A  reasonable donation for gas to get to the wedding (this holds your date for your wedding)  and a donation for the wedding to be paid on or before the day of your wedding.   Your wedding can be held indoors or outdoors but must be within 10 miles of Harbor Beach.Holiday Weddings

$75 additional fee may apply on holidays and holiday weekends.  Holidays may include: New Years Eve and Day, Easter weekend, Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day Weekend, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

$50 non-refundable deposit is required for booking your date.  Cashier's check (NO personal checks) or money order payable to Tanya Michalski.  You may pay the full cost at the time of your deposit or in increments prior to your wedding date if you prefer.  The full amount is due on or before the day of your rehearsal or wedding.  Please also include any fees that would be incurred for me to get to your ceremony:  parking, entry fees, etc. if applicable.

Indoor Weddings for Winter Months

Indoor spaces can be rented starting at $20 per hour for your ceremony.  Ceremonies normally take about 20 minutes.  It gives you plenty of time to set up.
