Your Ceremony

Planning a Ceremony!

Did you know you will have as many ceremony decisions as you will reception decisions? Many people are surprised when I share this with them. At first, they think I’m joking, but then they realize I am quite serious.

Let’s discuss a few of the “not so obvious” things that come up. Did you know you would need a reserve seating list and assign seats at the ceremony for the first few rows? If there are any divorces in the family on either side, this can become tricky.

What about Ushers? Most people don’t understand that Usher’s are there to take stress away and help get your guests where they need to go. Why would you not want their help? Over and over I hear couples… “We have a small wedding, we really don’t need Ushers”. Give me 5 minutes and I promise you, I will convince you otherwise.

There are many music selections to be made. Will there be readings and if so, by whom. Will you sign the marriage license during the ceremony or afterwards. Who will be your Officiant? This list really does go on and on and will catch couples by surprise over and over again.

After doing over 350 ceremonies all over the state, our advice is to not sell yourself short. Hire an experienced DJ or an Officiant that will help you plan all of these details.  Your ceremony needs to bring tears to your eyes for the RIGHT reasons, those of joy and happiness. With the right planning partners, it will do just that. If you need an Officiant for your special day, we provide personalized ceremony services. You can read more about our services here.
