My Wedding Services

The focus of the wedding is on YOU, the BRIDE and GROOM.

As the wedding ministers or wedding "officiants," we act as a director or choreographer of a wonderful, happy celebration of love and commitment. Since it is YOUR wedding, it should include all the aspects of ceremony and celebration that are meaningful to you. It can be as traditional or as personal and customized as you wish.

We consult with each couple ahead of time and go over a 5-6 page wedding ceremony checklist. This consultation is usually in person, but can be done by telephone if preferred or necessary. Each couple chooses the order of service and the various personal aspects of the ceremony they want included. We cover all the questions about who, what, where, when, and how. Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, Flower Girl(s), Ring Bearer(s), ushers, parents, relatives, honored guests, music (live, recorded, solos, etc.), flowers, rings, candles, readings, sermon, vows, prayers, etc.

People who contact us today are interested in having their wedding ceremony in a location other than a church. We perform weddings in gardens, hotels, golf courses, private estates, beaches, and other places.

We are normally available for a rehearsal a day or more before the wedding. If the ceremony is relatively simple with a small wedding party, the rehearsal can be the same day just shortly before the wedding. However, it is best to have a separate rehearsal if there are a number of people involved.

We write up a completely customized and personalized "script" for each couple's wedding. In our message, with the couple's permission, we usually include some interesting facts about how they met, and what their dreams and goals are as they now move through life together. We have a very strong personal faith in God. However, it is not our place to use the marriage ceremony as a platform for my views. Instead, we concentrate on the wedding couple, and ask everyone to focus on the things that bring us together and help love to grow.

At least a week or two before the wedding we will send a copy of the entire wedding "script" to the couple for review. we send it by mail, fax, or e-mail. This gives them a chance to make sure the ceremony will include precisely all the things that are important to them. If there are any changes needed, we have plenty of time to make them.

When the time comes for the rehearsal (or if there is none, then the wedding), everything should go like "clockwork" because of the "script." This extra effort to send each couple a "script" ahead of time is intended to give them peace of mind. The result is complete confidence and everything goes smoothly and according to their plan during their ceremony. After all the time and money spent planning your wedding, we want to do everything we can to make it organized to perfection.
