Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?
Absolutely! Many couples, even those affiliated with a particular church are choosing to hold their wedding ceremony at their reception venue. This makes things much easier, and less stressful, for the Bride and Groom as well as their wedding party and guests.
Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?
Always! I am there to offer guidance and support along the way as we co-create their wedding ceremony. It is THEIR day and they make all of the decisions.
Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?
Definitely! Vows written by the Bride and Groom can greatly enhance a wedding ceremony. Often times though, couples are a bit anxious about speaking such private words in a public ceremony. If the Bride and Groom wish to write and speak their own vows to each other, I support them 100% and do everything within my power to put them at ease about doing so. I'll even assist them when requested.
Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?
I have a list of Readings, both secular and sacred that can be used to enhance a wedding ceremony. It is totally up to the couple to decide if they would like to include a poetry or sacred verse.
Do you require that premarital counseling be done?
No. In my opinion, if a couple is mature enough in their decision to marry they have already done their own form of premarital counseling through the conversations of their daily life. If a couple would like Spiritual Counseling to enhance their relationship, I am happy to offer that to them.
Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?
Yes, as requested. Some Brides like the idea of a run-through before the wedding ceremony while others feel the desire to "go with the flow." I am happy to facilitate all rehearsals since it does take an extra burden off the Bride and Groom.
