Choosing
the right wedding officiant is one of the most important decisions you’ll make
during the wedding planning process, because the way your ceremony
feels will be something you and your families will remember forever. Our
wedding officiants work closely with each couple to create a fully customized
ceremony that celebrates their unique relationship, and we never deliver a
generic “cookie cutter” ceremony.
Our team of
friendly, professional Ministers and Pastors perform hundreds of religious and
secular wedding ceremonies each year, and will create a memorable, heartfelt
experience for you and your wedding guests. Whether you are interested in
something short and sweet, or a complicated interfaith or multicultural wedding
ceremony, we are happy to collaborate with you to make your wedding ceremony
exactly what you’re looking for.
We offer a
simple, convenient booking process, and our officiants make planning your
wedding ceremony easy and fun. Each standard Wedding Ceremony Package includes
the following:
Initial
Consultation –
We want you to feel totally comfortable booking our services, which is why we
offer a free, no-obligation consultation with your officiant before you ever
sign a contract. We typically conduct these initial consultations via Skype,
FaceTime, or phone, but if you would prefer to meet the officiant in person
somewhere near your home you can certainly do so. We will hold your wedding
date for 10 days after you’ve been matched with one of our officiants, so you
will have plenty of time to speak with them and make a decision before you need
to sign a contract.
Planning
Meeting – Once
you’ve signed your contract and paid the 50% reservation fee, your officiant
will be in touch to schedule a planning meeting. This meeting normally happens
in person, but it can also be done via video or phone call as well. Your
officiant will ask you questions about what you feel is important to include in
your ceremony and get to know the two of you and learn about your relationship.
This information will help your officiant in writing your ceremony to make sure
it reflects your beliefs and personalities.
Ceremony
Editing –
Following your planning meeting, your officiant will write a full draft of your
ceremony and email it to you for your review. You can revise your draft
ceremony as much as you’d like until it is the exact wedding ceremony you want,
and then simply email your edited draft back to your officiant. We want it to
feel perfect – if you need additional suggestions or guidance, we are happy to help
at no additional charge.
The
Ceremony! – Your officiant will arrive at your wedding early to
help coordinate with your attendants and vendors and get ready for the
processional. We are more than happy to work with other wedding professionals,
and are perfectly comfortable with photographers taking pictures anywhere they
would like during the ceremony. Your officiant will deliver the exact ceremony
you’ve discussed, and create a wonderful experience for you and your guests.
The
Marriage License – Although it’s your responsibility to get the marriage
license before the wedding, your officiant will take care of signing it
afterward and filing it with the proper city or town clerk.
OPTIONAL
SERVICES – Pre-marital counseling is available with a Pastor. We
can also connect you with a Licensed Clinician that will talk to you both
separately and will then give you both exercises to strengthen your bond as a
couple and prepare you for marriage.
