Travel and Service Areas

Travel is handled clearly and upfront, with no surprises later.

I’m based in Irvine, California and regularly serve couples throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and surrounding Southern California areas.

Travel Policy

Travel within 100 miles round trip (50 miles each way) of my home base in Irvine, California is included with every ceremony. Distance is calculated using Google Maps driving directions.

For venues beyond the included travel area, mileage is billed at $1.00 per mile for the portion exceeding the included 100 miles round trip.

If an overnight stay is required due to distance, timing, or an early ceremony start, hotel accommodations will be discussed and approved in writing before booking.

How this works

  • Travel details are confirmed once your venue and wedding date are finalized

  • Any required travel fees are outlined clearly in your proposal and contract

Out-of-Area & Destination Weddings

Planning a wedding outside Southern California?

I'd be honored to travel. Reach out with your venue and wedding date, and I'll prepare a custom travel proposal outlining any applicable transportation, lodging, and travel costs before you book.
