About
The backyard chapel is no longer open, but offsite officiating services are still available. Congratulations on your engagement! Since 2014, I have officiated ceremonies both big and small all over Iowa and beyond. My aim is to provide an intimate and affordable wedding ceremony that truly focuses on the significance of marriage. Fees start at $135.00 for marriages, vow renewals, and commitment ceremonies, with additional fees for offsite services and rehearsals. Mon-Thurs ceremonies in the Des Moines area are $70.00. I offer discounts to seniors and both active and retired veterans.

Amidst the challenges of Covid-19, I am taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of my couples and guests. I practice physical distancing, regularly use hand sanitizer and washing my hands, and have adapted my greeting methods. While it may take some getting used to, our shared goal is to create a joyous and safe wedding day for all.

My ultimate goal is to create a wedding ceremony that reflects the unique wishes of the couple. This is their day, and they should feel free to personalize every aspect – from the vows to the cost of the ceremony.

Sue's exceptional performance as the officiant of our wedding ceremony and her expert guidance and support throughout the planning phase left us amazed! She was extremely accommodating to our preferences and took great care to incorporate our individuality into the ceremony. Throughout the months prior to the wedding, she kept regular contact with us to ensure we had everything we needed and collaborated with us on the ceremony setup. We strongly recommend Sue to anyone seeking a compassionate, composed, and skilled wedding officiant!

Before our wedding, I was clueless and anxious about how to go about it. Thankfully, the officiant we chose handled everything calmly and made it effortless. I'm grateful we went with her as I was afraid another officiant might have been overly judgmental and demanding, but she made the process a lot less stressful for us.
