"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance... a church filled with flowers, the air filled with music, surrounded by family and friends... When I asked what kind of wedding he dreamed of, he answered... 
The kind that would make me his wife.”




"... From our first phone call to the day of the wedding you were informative, kind, funny and absolutely essential to our perfect day. We absolutely loved it; both of us will never forget the hand ceremony. It was our favorite piece. The entire ceremony was uniquely made for us and fit my husband and I to a tee. Thank you for that. We have received numerous compliments about what an exceptional job you did for us. Thank you for everything!" 
- Levi & Tera Hillsman - November 10, 2007

 

"While I honor tradition in weddings, no two people are the same, just as no ceremony should be the same. Whether it is your first wedding, renewal of vows, or a second marriage, I take the time to get to know who you are as individuals to create a ceremony that is as unique as your relationship."

          Tips on Selecting A Wedding Officiant

All too often couples put off finding their wedding Officiant until the end of the planning process.   It is important to take into consideration the importance of this role in your wedding day.  Your Pastor, Minister or Officiant is the person who will stand before you to unite the two of you together in matrimony.  It is this person who helps with your vows, signs your marriage license to make your marriage legal, and can help to include children in a blended family ceremony.   Although a Justice of the Peace can provide you with a simple ceremony, they are more than likely less personal than working with an individual who will take the time to meet with you and get to know who you are to customize your ceremony prior to your wedding. That being said, your wedding Officiant can be, and SHOULD be an integral part of planning from the early stages.

When you choose an Officiant, you’re choosing someone to perform your dream ceremony on your dream day.  Some questions you may want to ask include:


A) Are they personable?  Do you feel comfortable with their personality, can he/she make you feel at ease?  Do they sound rehearsed or scripted?  Is he/she willing to improvise... and add a sense of humor and ease your nerves during  your ceremony?  Will they evoke emotions in you and your guests such as laughter, reflection of their own relationships, or even tears of joy?

B) Will they talk with you and provide what you want in a ceremony?  Other than adding your names into their standard script, will they customize your ceremony to reflect who you are as a couple?

C) Do they take the time to get to know you?  Are THEY asking questions?  How you met?  How you became engaged? About your families?  They should want to know more about you and your wedding than just the location and time.

D) Do they encourage an open line of communication?  Do you feel comfortable enough that you can call him/her during the course of your planning to ask questions, even if they are not directly related to your ceremony?

E) Is this their FULL TIME business?  Are they easily accessible and do they respond to requests and your questions in a timely manner?    

F)  Do they have back-up Officiants?  In the case of an emergency, do they have back up ministers or pastors on their staff prepared to step in at a moment's notice?  Or, if they are booked, do they have alternative staff available to perform your wedding ceremony?

Remember, it’s your day, it should be your ceremony.

Kevin,

Thank you so very much for sharing your own wedding anniversary with us, this too was a very special day to us and our family.  This special day was a long time coming.  The ceremony was filled with heartfelt words that expressed our love for one another and the love for our family.  The words  you wrote for us was an expression to the world of the love we have and will share for the rest of our lives.  From the moment we met on the phone you took great interest in providing us with help and service.  Although only a few hours in time, it time will last forever in our hearts and minds.  The flowers, cake, champagne, and the great photographer wrapped this day in the best Christmas present I could ever receive.  Having our children all together to share in family vows and be involved with our day was the icing on the cake.  I look forward in keeping in touch with such a great couple that continue to reach out to others with the talents that they have been blessed with. 

THANK YOU!!  - THE FLADELAND FAMILY

"Kevin, thanks from the bottom of my heart for rescuing us with your emergency CD.  I couldn't imagine walking down the isle without music! 

The ceremony was beautiful, just how we wanted it. My daughter's tears of joy were so special. When Pete choked up during his vows, I knew that we made the right decision having you perform our ceremony!  At that moment, it was only Pete and I in the world and I'll cherish that forever.

We had raves about the family sand ceremony, and I loved the significance.

I will, without a doubt,  recommend you to the next bride-to-be I meet."

- Shellie & Pedro
