Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Do you travel for Weddings?
A) Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Michael only travels within the state of Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina at this time. If your wedding is local (the New River Valley), then there isn't a charge for travel. If your venue is around 100 miles roundtrip of 24141, then the travel fee is $50.00. Outside of a 100 mile round-trip, there could be a overnight stay, depending on the distance. Please email Michael for more information.
