Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies

Personalized Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies

Your wedding day is one to celebrate! It should be joyous, creative, and filled with a sublime beauty. Whether it’s a formal affair with deeply personalized moments or a simple and short commitment ceremony, it’s important that it includes your vision, values, and reflects your lifestyle.

 

I will help you create a lasting memory as you begin an exciting and new life together as one. Regardless of the type of ceremony, I will be available to you from our first meeting to the day of the ceremony to plan, create, and ensure that you have the wedding of your dreams. I offer a variety of nuptial packages each of which can be tailored to meet your needs.

The Package contains:
• Initial personal or teleconference meeting to consult and outline your desired ceremony.
• Your choice of ceremony location.
• Creation of your ceremony from start to finish in collaboration with you and your spouse to ensure that all aspects and elements that are important to you are included, beautifully arranged, and meaningful. This includes selecting an order of ceremony, including wording, vows, and the inclusion of other elements such as music, prayers, candle lighting, ring blessings, religious rituals or practices, etc.
• Unlimited e-mail and telephone consultations throughout the process to ensure the final ceremony is special and unique.
• Officiating at your wedding.
• Filing of Marriage License after the ceremony.
