Tips and Advice

The officiant sets the mood for your wedding. Make sure you are comfortable with the person you select in order to make the ceremony memorable for the two of you, your family and friends.

One of the things that amazes me is that so many brides spend countless hours planning every conceivable detail of their wedding, only to get to the very end of the process and realize, almost as an afterthought, that they still haven’t found that special someone to actually perform or officiate the wedding ceremony itself.

The truth is: the one main thing that you, as a couple, your wedding party, your parents and all your extended family, friends, & guests will remember MOST about your entire wedding day, is the ceremony itself!  But far too often, securing the right officiant to perform the right ceremony is left as an afterthought!  

Unfortunately, far too many brides have found themselves standing at the altar, watching in disgust or in humiliation as an inexperienced, unprepared, notary or justice-of-the-peace-type clerk stands there in front of you, with a book in hand, more nervous than you are, reading word-for-word a few trite sentences. And, boom, after a few short minutes, your "Vegas-courthouse quickie" ceremony is over and the deed is done. 

And there you are, dreading that you have to turn around, face the audience, and see the mortified look on the faces of your family and friends as you walk down the aisle after an extremely brief, abrupt ceremony that left everyone wishing for quite a bit more. Or asking the question, “Did she know the officiant was going to say THAT?”

Honestly, what bride, especially one who has paid such close attention to so many other important details, would ever want to take a chance on what will be said at her wedding?  Clearly, the words that are spoken at your ceremony and the way they are delivered are extremely critical in determining how your overall wedding is perceived by the people you care about most. It cannot be overstated how important it is that you find the right officiant with the right experience who can perform the ceremony in just the right way.
