Jeff & Kim

Frankie’s - June 13, 2025

Kim & Jeff, there’s a birthday and a going away and guests are traveling in from all over to celebrate you,
so let’s have a wedding!

I’m excited to share your love story, and honor your community present and past.

Here’s some details about my ceremony packages and offerings for premarital counseling and wedding yoga, if those may interest you.

Wedding Ceremonies

The wedding ceremony can be exciting, yet confusing. If you’re not getting married in a house of worship, there’s little that’s required. This can be freeing and overwhelming. I not only make the process crystal clear, but I work with you on something memorable. I aim to instill an atmosphere of relaxation, humor, and honesty - including only what you want in your ceremony. I bring a sense of maturity and versatility to all rituals, making it a warm and unique and experience for you and your guests. It's your special day and should reflect who you are as a couple. 

My goal is to be a fierce advocate and part of your support system during this journey. So, if there’s something you need, never hesitate to ask.

Personally Tailored Ceremony $1245

  • One complimentary consultation, plus a 1- hour interview session to visualize and discuss your thoughts, and ideas about your ceremony in detail

  • A copy of your personal ceremony e-mailed to you for your review

  • Unlimited phone and e-mail communication to finalize the ceremony to your satisfaction.

  • Communication with your vendor team and those participating in the ceremony

Ceremony Rehearsal (a day or two before) $250

There is no travel fee to Frankie’s from my home base in Central Harlem.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Hope. She worked with us to put together exactly the ceremony we wanted. She really helped us tailor it to be exactly what we wanted. We couldn't have dreamed of anyone doing a better job than she did. She greeted us with such warmth and kindness that put us immediately at ease. Hope's presence, delivery and spirit set the perfect tone for our ceremony and will leave us with many very warm and lasting memories. We would recommend Hope for any and all weddings!

Premarital Counseling

Even couples that have been together for years, feel the chance to speak openly about communication, conflict resolution and expectations of the marriage is invaluable as you commit to a life together. There are certainly DIY methods, but having an unbiased ear may be what you need.  


Sessions focus on the main causes of divorce in America, speaking your partner’s Love Language, Non-Violent Communication and jointly discovering ways to strengthen your relationship. In some states pre-marital counseling with a professional will reduce the fees for your marriage license. 

Individual sessions start at $225, with multi-session packages starting at $1025. 

These sessions can be done virtually or in person in FiDi or Central Harlem.

Wedding Yoga

Needless to say wedding preparations can be stressful. Adding a bit of yoga practice to the planning stages and day of the wedding helps grooms and brides-to-be, their family, and friends be present, centered, relaxed, and deeply enjoy the ritual. And good news, you don’t have to be able to touch your toes to find benefits!

Custom sessions are available for bachelorette parties, bridal showers, or can be added to the wedding festivities the day before or the day of the ceremony.

GROUP PRACTICE:

For 1-3 people $130
For 4-8 people $225
For 9-12 people $300
For 13-16 people $375
For 17+ people $425

PRIVATES:

1 Private class $130
6 Class package $750
12 Class package $1400

Mats can certainly be provided at a rental rate of $5/mat.

 
 
 

In terms of next steps, I encourage you both to keep discussing what your ceremony looks like and what it does not. If you decide to move forward with me, as I mentioned I do have a simple contract, and ask for a retainer to hold your date.

Because we are 28 days out, I’d love to start working on the ceremony as soon as you are able. You will also need to get your marriage license.

Let me know if you have any questions or made any decisions along the way. Feel free to shoot me an email or let’s schedule time review and discuss.

I look forward to celebrating with you both!
