FAQs
Do you perform Religious Ceremonies? (Catholic, Buddhist etc.,)
Bling Ceremonies, LLC., respects all couples’ religious beliefs, present or not. Out of respect for individuals and religions/organized groups whom dedicate their lives to become speakers of their organizations, we will not perform specific religious ceremonies.
Do you serve all couples who are interested in becoming a legally married couple?
Bling Ceremonies, LLC., does not discriminate, we recognize that love is love. We will happily officiate any legal marriage with couples whom are over the age of 18.

We are not a religious couple, can we still book you?

Do you offer Wedding Planning Services?
Not yet, Bling Ceremonies, LLC., has a vision to expand to wedding planning/venue services in the future. At the moment, we reserve the services to officiating happy couples who are searching for someone to marry them!
Do you provide a marriage license?
Unfortunately, no. New Mexico State Law indicates that intended couples are to reach out to their local County Clerk office and both parties are to be present to purchase a marriage certificate. Please see your local county website to seek further information on obtaining your marriage certificate.
Is there an official ordained minister?
Yes, our CEO is ordained through the Universal Life Church and has been since 2016, performing wedding ceremonies across New Mexico.
Can we build our own package?
Our packages come with the basic needs that every couple should require. If you are in need of additional props, or an additional rehearsal day, the only customizable package will be the Rose Gold package.
Other packages are not able to be interchanged. Bling Ceremonies, LLC., understands that flexibility is key to a successful wedding day, thus should the situation arise, couples can upgrade or downgrade their package preference up until 3 days prior to their ceremony date.
In the Rose Gold Package, if we do a Unity Ceremony, can we keep the item?
Absolutely! This is your day. We do a wide range of ceremonies, (candle lighting, sand ceremonies, etc.) We anticipate the newlywed couples will take their completed unity ceremony items after the ceremony. Any couple not interested in keeping their items are welcome to donate the item back to Bling Ceremonies, LLC., if they choose to do so.
We found a better fitting officiant service, but already put down our 50% deposit. Is this refundable?
Partially. We understand that weddings can be pricey. Bling Ceremonies, LLC., reserves the right to make 25% of the deposit made non-refundable, as there is a Free Consultation that is included in every package to allow for couples to shop around prior to signing a contract, and we highly recommend to take advantage of the opportunity before committing to our services. We thank you for understanding.
