The Marriage Man, Bryant Heisinger, and Another Happy Couple!

And, A Few More Reasons....Here's What Some Recent Couples Have To Say About TheMarriageMan!
We have one goal at TheMarriageMan.com---to do our best to make certain that YOUR wedding day is everything you desire!
We take great pride in working with every couple to customize YOUR ceremony to your thoughts and feelings on your
wedding day. We do not ask the couples we perform ceremonies for to write us "referrals" after a ceremony (after all, as newlyweds
they have many other challenges to conquer), but many couples somehow find the time to send us a note after their ceremony.
A few of the many recent notes we have received are available here since occasionally a couple looking for an officiant will ask
for "references."
However, we do not "rest on our laurels."
What we have done for other couples isn't really what matters. What is important, no matter what we have done in the past,
is that we want to do whatever is necessary to be certain the best ceremony we've ever conducted is the one we are doing
that day----YOURS!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I'm not getting into the politics of who or what is to blame, but the overall economy is still a concern for many people! Layoffs,

foreclosures, unemployment--it's difficult to plan for the future in such an unpredictable economy. From

talking with many wedding professionals (caterers, photographers, florists, musicians, etc.) it's obvious many

couples are "scaling back" --or postponing altogether-- their wedding plans due to tough economic times.

In response to the challenge couples face today in affording a wonderful wedding day, we at The

Marriage Man Ceremony Officiants have REDUCED our professional services fees, beginning immediately,

for couples contacting us for the first time! (Although we have not announced it, we have been providing

discounts to couples for the past few months on a trial basis--we are now making the changes permanent!)

If you have not discussed having The Marriage Man perform your upcoming ceremony, please get in

touch and ask about our reduced fees----we will reduce the fee, but we never reduce the outstanding level

of service we provide to each and every couple! There's never any cost or obligation to find out why The Marriage Man

Ceremony Officiants have earned a reputation of providing the best in outstanding quality and service!

The Marriage Man will work with you to design the vows and wedding ceremony you desire. A brief ceremony or an elaborate ceremony---your wedding day should be the way you want it! We serve ALL couples in love, and help provide the ceremony they desire to express their unique love and commitment! If you desire personalized vows, The Marriage Man will help you find the perfect words to express the love and commitment you wish to communicate on your wedding day. We will be happy to send you our latest ceremony "guide" that has been extremely well-received and appreciated by hundreds of couples. The "personalized" guide is the result of feedback from hundreds of weddings that have thrilled brides, grooms and their guests! You can also supplement the guide from numerous other ceremony ideas in our collection of marriage vows, or design and write your own vows. Your thoughts, your feelings, your words...your special day! (Click Here for an example of the some additional civil ceremony ideas, including some optional wording for the vows.) For even more ceremony ideas, please click here. Finally, outlines of two of the most popular ceremonies can be found by clicking here!

To view some of the basic officiant's attire available for you to select for your ceremony, please click here.

For a variety of reasons, many couples don't want to plan or wait months or years to be married. Unlike many marriage officiants who will conduct weddings only on Saturdays and require several weeks advance notice, The Marriage Man can sometimes be ready to perform your ceremony with just a few hours notice. Of course, if you want to plan a special ceremony weeks or months in advance, The Marriage Man will be happy to assist you in planning your ceremony to your exact wishes.

Nowadays, it seems that many wedding dates are determined by "availability." Churches are booked years in advance for many dates, and, weddings are sometimes delayed or hurried because several weddings are being conducted one after another on the same day. The Marriage Man will work with you to officiate your wedding on the date and time YOU want! While many officiants will only work on Saturdays, and only before 5 p.m., the Marriage Man is available (unless he has a prior commitment) when you want to have your wedding! Wednesday at 7 p.m.? No problem! On your birthday? Sunday the 15th at 1:38 p.m.? If the Marriage Man does not already have a ceremony scheduled, he'll be there! It's your wedding--you pick the date and time!

If you are planning an "on the beach" or other "on location" ceremony, we can usually provide a CD player and CD of wedding ceremony music, including music to play while guests are being seated; processional music; music during the ceremony; and recessional music.* We have a large library of traditional wedding selections, plus many contemporary selections popular at weddings. Just ask--if you don't have it, we probably do!

*We can usually supply a CD player/music for the ceremony only. You must provide someone to operate the CD player during the ceremony (we will demonstrate and provide directions). We do not supply any music/services for receptions, etc.

**If you are having a professional photographer take pictures, ask us about our Wedding Web Page arrangements. (Photography is not part of our official duties as your officiant, and while we are often able to capture some photos, your schedule/procedures on your wedding day may not allow us to take photos. Failure of TheMarriageMan officiant to provide a complimentary wedding web page is not to be considered a breach of the professional officiant services contract. (If a TheMarriageMan officiant is unable to acquire photos at your ceremony, we will provide pictures and a web page if your guests send us photos to use. Photos may be e-mailed to themarriageman@themarriageman.com )

The Marriage Man will work with you to plan the EXACT ceremony and celebration you want. Talk to us about some of the possibilities! Afte receiving the "guide," you may want to Click Here For Just A Few Options! Also, ask about our special package for "Bride and Groom Only" ceremonies!

There are many reasons more people are choosing not to have extremely large weddings and huge receptions---and money is one of the biggest reasons. The number one goal of The Marriage Man is to provide couples with a happy, joyous, and memorable Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Day no matter what your wedding budget. If you can't afford a big wedding, or, if you prefer to put aside some money for more important long-term goals (a car, a house, a family, etc.), The Marriage Man can provide ideas to help you plan a fantastic wedding day---within your budget--- that you'll always cherish! Contact The Marriage Man for a free, no-obligation consultation on how to make your wedding day just the way you want it! We're here to help--just ask!

The Beatles sang "All You Need Is Love," and The Marriage Man follows that credo in life. If you have love, you're on the right track to a wonderful life!

Of course, love is different for each and every one of us. The Marriage Man recognizes all love, and believes true love and commitment deserves recognition and commemoration. Although New Jersey has not yet recognized same-sex marriages, New Jersey now allows couples to celebrate legal civil union ceremonies. However, the officiants at TheMarriageMan.com believe in the old adage that "a rose, by any other name, is still a rose." As such, our civil union ceremonies may be performed using the same words and actions as marriage ceremonies. Just contact The Marriage Man for a free, no-obligation discussion of how to celebrate your special ceremony in the way you desire!.

Don't just tell your spouse "I'd do it all over again." Prove you mean it and say "I do" again in a romantic celebration of love! We have several marriage reaffirmation ceremonies/packages that will make any anniversary a very special occasion! Here are some sample "Renewal of Vows" ceremonies. For more information on how to have a wonderful "renewal celebration," Contact us for details!

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY! ASK US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!

The Marriage Man will gladly counsel prospective couples on the requirements for a marriage license in NJ, DE or PA, including the steps for acquiring a marriage license, upon request. However, most couples will find the general information below will give them a head start in answering most questions they have regarding the process. It will even direct you to a NJ marriage license application form that can be printed and completed by the couple before going to a registrar. If you plan on having The Marriage Man perform your marriage ceremony, he will provide you with the necessary information you will need to complete your license application.

Marriage licenses for weddings in New Jersey are obtained by the bride and groom visiting the Registrar of Vital Statistics in the New Jersey town where either party resides. If one of the parties is not a New Jersey resident, the license can be obtained from the Registrar in the NJ resident's hometown. In either of those cases, the wedding may then be performed in any town in New Jersey. If, however, BOTH the bride and groom reside outside of New Jersey, the license MUST be obtained from the town where the wedding will take place. Be sure to take an adult witness who knows both of you when you go to apply for the license (both residents and non-residents). You will need proper identification and other personal information. You will also need to supply the registrar with the details of your wedding--date, location, time, and contact information for the person performing your marriage. You can get detailed information on applying for a license, including a printable application you can complete and take to the registrar by clicking here.

It takes 72 hours--3 days, before a license will be issued to you in New Jersey--you will not receive the license on the day you apply--you will need to return to "pick up" the license some time after the 72-hour "waiting period" has passed. (other rules apply for other states...see below or ask us for info). As of this time the total cost of the marriage application is $28 in New Jersey. Here is a website with a directory to local Registrars of Vital Statistics in New Jersey. Please contact me if you need assistance in applying for a DE, PA, or MD marriage license. However, the following link will provide information regarding Delaware marriage licenses, http://www2.nccde.org/clerkofpeace/default.aspx Some general information on obtaining a Pennsylvania marriage license can be found at http://dsf.chesco.org/wills/cwp/view.asp?a=3&q=609227 However, don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

After applying, when you return to pick up the license, please inspect it carefully. Anyone can make a mistake, including the registrar's office. Make certain all names and addresses, as well as other identifying info on the license is accurate and spelled correctly. I have received licenses where the names are spelled incorrectly, or where the bride's name is in the "groom" box. Mistakes take much longer to correct after a wedding, so take a few minutes to save a lot of time and aggravation later if there are mistakes. Once you receive the license, it is valid for 30 days. Be sure you do not write on it or sign it. The person performing your marriage will complete the license after the ceremony per each state's requirements. You must present a valid marriage license to be married--do not lose it or forget to bring it to the ceremony. You will also need two adult witnesses to sign your marriage certificate at the wedding ceremony for NJ and DE marriages. Pennsylvania marriage licenses require that only the officiant sign the license. If you will not have two witnesses present for ceremonies in Carneys Point, Pennsville or Penns Grove, NJ, notify the Marriage Man in advance. We can usually arrange to have witnesses present for a very nominal fee.

The Marriage Man will see that your marriage license will be officially filed with the proper registrar after the ceremony. You will receive a ceremonial copy of your license following the ceremony. However, you may need a certified copy of your license for numerous legal matters following marriage. The Marriage Man will provide you with step-by-step information on how to contact the proper registrar and request a certified copy of your marriage license depending on the state where you celebrate your marriage .

The Marriage Man will be pleased to answer any questions you have about obtaining a license, or any other matters pertaining to your wedding. You must acquire a license in advance AND PRESENT IT TO YOUR OFFICIANT BEFORE YOUR CEREMONY, so PLEASE ask if you have ANY questions about how to get a license well before your wedding day!

IMPORTANT NOTE: E-mail is the quickest, most reliable way to contact the Marriage Man wedding officiants. I prefer to correspond via e-mail as much as possible. However, I have noticed that a few people who e-mail me have "spam guard" settings on their e-mail that does not allow e-mail to be received in their accounts unless the sender is pre-approved. As a result, I occasionally can not successfully return e-mail to some who request info via e-mail. I answer ALL e-mail in less than 12 hours; if you do not get a reply from me in 24 hours, there is a "glitch" somewhere. Please call (609-206-8936) if you do not hear from me by e-mail in 24 hours.

Also, it is helpful in answering many inquiries sent to me if I have important information about the bride and groom such as: 1) current residence (city and state); 2) desired wedding date and time (if determed); 3) location of wedding ceremony (city and state); 4) are you planning a large formal wedding, or an intimate ceremony?; and any other info you feel would be helpful regarding your wedding plans (phone numbers, names of bride and groom, type (religious, non-religious, interfaith or intercultural, romantic, etc.) of ceremony desired, etc. If you do not wish to include that information in your e-mail, I will still do my best to answer questions, but most of the time I need that info to adequately address the concerns of the bride and groom.
