| Q. |
Rev.
Silvett, what do your services include? |
| A. |
I
offer a wedding consultation to each couple. I am at
your non-denominational wedding ceremony one-half hour prior
to wedding time and allow two hours between each wedding ceremony
performed. My services also include your Confidential
Marriage License and your wedding rehearsal. |
|
| Q. |
Do
you charge for rehearsal? |
| A. |
Yes,
there is a flat fee for your wedding rehearsal. |
|
| Q. |
When
do we buy our wedding License? |
| A. |
You
may buy your Confidential Marriage license from me if you
are over the age of 18 and are living together. |
|
| Q. |
What
do you mean living together? |
| A. |
In
the state of California living together is defined as a man
and a woman who are living as a husband and wife and unmarried. |
|
| Q. |
Rev.
Silvett, I have sent e-mails to different ministers; they
have given me a price and then added a gratuity to the price.
Do you do this also? |
| A. |
Personally
I never ask for a gratuity. That is a decision you make
based upon the service you receive. |
|
| Q. |
If
we contact you by e-mail, what should we include in our e-mail? |
| A. |
Your
e-mail should include the following:
- the
exact date (including month, day and year).
- time
of your ceremony.
- location
of your ceremony.
- any
questions you may have.
|
|
| Q. |
Why
are the month, day, year and time so important?. |
| A. |
I
have received many e-mails with
only a question—for example, what do you charge?—with
no location date or time. This makes it very difficult
to send a proper message with the best answer to your question. |
|
| Q. |
We
cannot find a location for our wedding. Can you help
us? |
| A. |
I
receive many e-mail with that exact question. If you
e-mail me at garysilvett@yahoo.com,
I will help you find a location of your choice. |
|
| Q. |
After
the wedding is over, what is the most important duty an officiant
can perform? |
| A. |
The
officiant should fill out the proper section on your marriage
license and file your license within ten working days
of your ceremony. The filing process is established by state
law. |
|
| Q. |
How
do we get a certified copy of our marriage license? |
| A. |
Two working weeks (ten business days) after your ceremony, fill out the form (The request for a certified copy of your marriage license which I provide to you) for a certified copy of your marriage license, follow the instructions and send it to the County of San Diego. Remember, the marriage license that your officiant files is a legal document and your certified copy proves the license was filed. |
|
| Q. |
Rev.
Silvett, do you perform weddings in other counties than San
Diego? |
| A. |
No,
I only perform weddings in San Diego County. |
|
| Q. |
How
can we help you? |
| A. |
Relax
and enjoy your very special day. |
| Q. |
Rev. Silvett, do you know of a reasonably priced DJ? |
| A. |
Yes, I work with some of the best and www.musicasyoulikeit.com and DJ Keith Danon is a DJ I highly recommend. |
| Q. |
Reverend Silvett, do you go to Detention and Correctional Facilities? |
| A. |
Yes, I perform weddings and provide notary services at Detention and Correctional Facilities. Please call 858-272-8734 for further information. |
