our team
At Precious Moments Interpreting & Coordination, our mission is to provide inclusive, accessible and compassionate sign language interpreting services for life's most significant milestones. We are dedicated to ensuring that Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and their families experience equal access to meaningful moments, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Through a commitment to affordability, equality and services, we strive to break down communication barriers and create a world where everyone's communication is respected and valued. In the spirit of giving back, we are committed to offering pro bono services whenever possible, ensuring that no one is excluded from life's precious moments due to financial limitations.
We provide sign language interpreting services exclusively for milestone moments (weddings, baby showers, memorials, etc.) at an affordable cost that meets the needs of the family or requestor.
1. All costs are a negotiated out-of-pocket flat rate agreement (not hourly). The expectation is that all jobs are paid unless otherwise stated.
2. Unlike traditional agencies, Deaf consumers and their family will have the ability to self-select their preferred interpreter by browsing our list of interpreters on the website.
3. We encourage the community to make donations to help provide compensation for interpreting services for families in need.
4. We ask that all requests are made 1 month in advance (with the understanding that the unexpected happens).
5. After the requesting entity submits a request, they will fill out an intake form which will help outline the details of the event (i.e.: wedding website, wedding colors, religious preferences, names of the couple, role of the Deaf participant, etc.).
6. We encourage all of our interpreters to give back when possible by providing pro bono services or discounted rates as this is an out of pocket expense for our consumers. We value giving back to the community that we serve and demonstrate that through generosity.
7. For paid assignments, our goal is to issue payment to the interpreters no later than the day of the event. We are adopting the practice of wedding vendors, wherein payment is expected before the day of the event. This will allow the interpreter as well as the participants to fully engage in the event.
