WEDDINGS : LOGISTICS

The most important logistic to confirm is your wedding date. I rarely book two weddings on the same day, so our first priority will be to determine if I am available on your wedding date. Then I will want to know some of the logistical details you may have already settled, such as:

Have you chosen a location?
How many attendants will there be?
Will there be a rehearsal?
How many guests do you anticipate?
What are you planning to wear?

Your answers to these questions help me provide a more accurate estimate of my fees. I will also want to know a little about your relationship, such as:

How long have you known each other?
Do either of you have children?
Tell me the story of your relationship.
What is your religious and/or spiritual background
   and how does that fit today?

Your answers to these and other questions will help guide my selection from my library of vows, ring blessings and exchanges, readings, and special touches. My purpose is to jumpstart your creativity by offering a wide variety of ideas to get you thinking. We’ll also discuss logistics ranging from rehearsal details to potential difficult family dynamics.

A back-and-forth process (via email, mail, or phone) will help us develop a ceremony that feels just right to you and your intended. My goal is to have your ceremony finalized and approved by you several weeks before your actual wedding date. 



Your detailed thoughtfulness about the ceremony
