Unplugged Ceremonies

Im definitely having a sign! I want to assume my family and friends wont whip out their phones but i know most of them just might. We are paying alot for our photographer and i rather not have pics of people taking pictures of us.

View Quoted Comment I agree completely

If you think that your family might ruin important moments then a sign, and maybe even an announcement, is necessary.

I would like an unplugged ceremony so that people aren’t distracted

I think that is a great idea.

I would like to do an unplugged ceremony. I've been to several weddings where everyone has their phones out for that shot. I mean, that's the point of the couple hiring the super expensive photographer for! My plan is to start letting people know several days before and have my friends remind those that forget during the ceremony. I want to look back at pictures and see my friends and family; not them holding up their phones. To me it just takes away from the beauty of the ceremony. During the reception, I am all for those candid, crazy shots while we party the night away!

We will be having an unplugged ceremony. There will be a sign and our officiant will make a statement in regards to it before the processional. I have seen way too many wedding pictures ruined by phones being in the way.

View Quoted Comment Great idea. Unplugged ceremonies also prevent people from posting your ceremony pictures online before you can check them, lol.

View Quoted Comment Smart idea.

We will be 100% having an unplugged ceremony. I’m not paying $2000 to have phones in my pictures. Pictures are the thing I value the most so I will be strict about it. It’s on my wedding website, I will have a sign, the officiant will make an announcement, and I told my photographers they have full privilege to tell anyone to get off their phone. I have already warned my mother that I’ll take her phone for the entire ceremony if I have to.

We are thinking of having one.. I have to admit, it was something I didn't even think of until I started planning. I went to a friends wedding last year and didn't even think about it and took a few photos of her coming down the aisle.. I was HORRIFIED to see the professional photos and of course, my phone is in it. I will never be that guest again.

That's a great idea. I might have him do the same. I have time to think about it and talk it over with my FH. I feel like I have enough signs as it is. LOL I want the signs to be about me and my FH and hope the guests would have common sense to turn off their cell phones. LOL

Worst case scenario guests can ruin all of your shots. Best case scenario guests can take some really good shots.

My FH hasn't asked for much with the wedding but did request an unplugged ceremony. Our officiant will make an announcement before the ceremony starts.

Did he explain why he's requesting an unplugged ceremony?

I just recently went to a wedding where the officiant welcomed everyone and reminded them to please turn off their phones. I think we will probably incorporate that into our ceremony.

Sounds like a great idea.

Definitely unplugged! I'm not the type of person that likes a bunch of phones in my face, even for my proposal, I told my fiance I didn't want a big group of people screaming at me, just my preference. For my ceremony, I definitely do not want phones in my face as I walk down the asile. I went to an unplugged ceremony and 2 people's phone went off during the ceremony. I was mad for the couple. So rude. Make sure your phone is on silent or OFF

View Quoted Comment He is not big into technology. He feels like it has ruined so much. He says you can't go anywhere without seeing people's faces buried in their phones. He says he wants people to be present in the moment. Phones are allowed after the ceremony
