That Valentine's Day Proposal!

You're engaged!  Congratulations!

It's incredibly exciting, and now you have a lot to think about.  The wedding dress, the reception, the venue, the guests!  There's so much to do you could almost forget about the reason everyone will be there: your ceremony.



When you're choosing an officiant, you want someone who will make your wedding ceremony memorable and personal.  Be ready with a few ideas!  Here are a few things to consider:

How big is the wedding? - the number of guests will determine everything from the budget to the size of the venue to the seating at the ceremony.  Your officiant will want to know so she can be sure she has all the right equipment, like a microphone or copies of your readings.


Speaking of readings, what do you really want to hear? - do you have poetry, song lyrics, readings, or books that you want incorporated into your ceremony?  Your officiant would love to see them.

What's the vibe? - light and funny?  Classic and chic?  Formal or casual?  Knowing how you want your wedding to feel helps the officiant write the perfect ceremony and set the tone.




Simple or fancy? - Many of my couples want a short, sweet ceremony.  Others pull out all the stops, adding in a sand ceremony, musicians, memorials, or cultural elements.  Talk it over with each other, and even with your family.

I'm looking forward to meeting my new brides and grooms for 2016 and beyond!

Love,

Holly
