To first begin, if you think any of my fees are too high, compare them to what others charge.
I AM ALREADY CERTIFIED AND DOCUMENTED THRU THE PRISON SYSTEM HERETO LISTED TO PERFORM WEDDINGS INSIDE BOTH THE ATWATER FEDERAL PENITENTIARY IN ATWATER CA -AND- THE VALLEY STATE MENS PRISON IN CHOWCHILLA CA. WHEN I LIVED THERE. I NOW LIVE IN ARIZONA AND CAN DO THE VERY SAME THING! . PRICES/FEES DIFFER FOR EVERY CITY AS I CHARGE PER TRAVEL DISTANCE. CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFO ON INCARCERATION WEDDINGS. To begin any other prison certification, you must contact me so I can ask a few questions and give you some rules. 209-658-0404 or email
[email protected] for any Arizona weddings and for California weddings call Krystal at 209-617-9522. She provides her own notary for the task and hand delivers all the paperwork to the clerk so you don't have to worry about a thing except show up for your wedding!
We can go thru the process step by step. For the inmate process, go to my other website (below is the link) called 'Jail or Prison love" and most of your questions will be answered here PLUS the INABILITY TO APPEAR form is available for you to print out as well! Click on this link and it will lead you to the other website for these special needs and cermonies... Any questions on a ceremony for the incarcerated MUST be directed to us alone! If you contact the jail, your wedding may be cancelled as they are not in the KNOW of how this is done legally as they are not officiates. Please let us do ouR job! All will be explained to you in what to do and when at our appt!
Here is a link to other brides who use this forum to talk and ask questions and to be helpful to one another!

Also below is another part of my website geared only to prison weddings.....

For any inmate wedding, for it to be legal, see this enclosed notice they give to each bride when the license is issued.......it states;=
"...that both shall declare in the physical presence of the person solemnizing the marriage and necessary witnesses that they take each other as spouses"....This can only be done face to face as in prison or court, or thru glass partition...not thru a telephone or in separate rooms. Keep it legal and it will always stay legal.
THIS SHOWS FROM THE COUNTY THAT A CEREMONY MUST BE PERFORMED TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LEGAL.. this form is given to each applicant with each license applied for and the clerk puts it inside the envelope. read all they give you first!...DO NOT BE TRICKED INTO NOT NEEDING THE CEREMONY! A ceremony is not necessarily the dress and flowers, etc ...it is a ceremony of words as you each must say specific things to each other face to face. It does have to be long and drawn out but as a couple, you MUST say certain things for your marriage to be legal and they must be said face to face in front of the officiant that marries you...THIS is what the State of California considers the 'ceremony'.
We are a team; so your wedding can be guaranteed to go on even if one of us is sick or have a conflicting appt. We work together to bring you a great ceremony. We are qualified to do prison and jail weddings! Just email me at [email protected] and I can answer any questions. With us, we have you covered from top to bottom to make it all legal and binding. Even the Merced County Clerks office recommends us! How about that!
JAIL OR PRISON WEDDINGS...DO NOT BE SCAMMED...MAKE IT LEGAL And it stays legal!

I have since officiated a wedding for an inmate who is an author incarcerated in VSP, CA. Gregory Barnes Watson in NOV. 2013! Everyone needs to read his book. Wives of prisoners, policemen, chaplains to prisons, parole officers, pastors, wardens, judges, anyone who is connected with the justice system! I am having him sign his book that I just purchased, once he is allowed to! The money from the book goes toward the victims family. He is a fantastic writer and gives an insight of what they go thru while locked up. I am honored that the couple chose me to do this for them!
Here is the author!
