Your officiant: $25 to $100, depending on how many guests you have.
Ceremony assistants (altar boys, organist): $5 to $25 each (but first ask a clergy member whether tips are covered by the church fee).

The lovely new Hilton Garden Inn, located in downtown historic Richmond, will be the venue for this amazing event held Sunday, June 28, 2009 from 1:30PM to 4:00PM. While showcasing this beautiful venue, our special guest speakers will inform you with tips on ways to make your celebration a day to remember. Keeping with the theme, the event will showcase things that are new and blue on the market today and highlight ideas that are borrowed from yesterday. We will have vendors offering specialty bridal items and services. Also joining us for this fun filled afternoon event will be DC¡¯s Finest! Veteran Planner, Kelley Gillespie. Kelley is the President of GEM Events and Past President of the Greater Washington D.C. Chapter of International Special Event Society, she currently serves as Board Member of the Special Events Magazine. DeCambreEvents and Associates will be donating a portion of the proceeds to support Children¡¯s Health Involving Parents (CHIP). CHIP of Greater Richmond brings education and support services to the homes of low-income families with young children who live in the Richmond area. ¡°At DeCambreEvents & Associates, we are both excited and thrilled to bring Richmond this wonderful event.
