FAQs
-
Because this is the SINGLE MOST important detail of your day - we suggest that our couples meet with the officiant before deciding on the service that best fits their visions for their wedding ceremony.
-
We suggest all couples have rehearsal with their officiant unless they are having just a simple Civil Ceremony. Presentation is everything, so having rehearsal with your officiant is imperative. Your officiant can guide through all the small details such as the presentation of the bride to how to slip on rings. Rehearsal is the time to make any last minutes changes and additions to your ceremony to ensure it is flawless. Since your officiant will be orchestrating the ceremony it only makes sense he be present to do so. Couple’s only get one shot at the ceremony, there are no do overs, so with that in mind all parties involved in the ceremony should be there to rehearse. Not only will rehearsal leave the couple and wedding party confident it also greatly helps ensure a flawless event.
-
In these situations we refer to the ceremony as a symbolic ceremony. Your officiant will do everything he would for a legal ceremony minus signing a wedding license. If you do not want your guests to know this please make sure to remind your officiant of this fact so they may keep it a secret.
-
In most cases your officiant will require that a microphone be provided by the couple. This can be acquired by your DJ. The couple is responsible for making sure that the officiant has a hands free mic since the officiant must have his hands free to hold their book, bless rings and perform rituals. A lapel or headset mic is preferred but a mic with a stand is ok (not suggested for the best pictures).
-
In most cases your officiant will stay for dinner and will bless the food during the reception, if the couple would like. They will, at their discretion, leave afterwards.
-
Payments are due 30 days prior to your ceremony and can be paid online through the invoice or by Zelle. Couple’s can also make payments towards their ceremony if they would like.
