Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your wedding day. From “Dearly Beloved” to “You may now kiss the bride,” the words that are spoken on your behalf, and the vows and promises you make to each other, help set the stage for your married life.
How do you want your ceremony to be remembered — by your guests and by you? Will it be a fun and playful expression of your love? A solemn and thought-provoking declaration of your commitment? A combination of both?
What kind of ceremony do you prefer? A traditional ceremony, or one that is more contemporary? Will you be writing your own vows? Would you like to include rituals that celebrate your heritage? These are just some of the questions you might consider as you contemplate your wedding ceremony.
Each ceremony I create is unique, blending traditional and contemporary elements to exactly
represent your individuality and tastes. The ceremony includes your personal love story: How you met and fell in love, why you decided to get married, what you hope for as a couple. Your love story is a highlight of the ceremony, often bringing smiles and tears to those who are there to celebrate your love!
Wedding ceremonies may also include:
Rose Exchange – Symbolizing the commitment and foundation of your marriage.
Candle lighting – Celebrating your individuality and your unity as a couple.
Wine Ceremony – Acknowledging the blending of the bitter and the sweet in life.
Blended Family Vow – When there are children involved.
Other Special Ceremonies – to honor your heritage, traditions or special interests
I can work with you at the rehearsal, helping assure that the ceremony will flow smoothly. In addition, I make sure that the marriage license is appropriately signed by the witnesses and filed with the county recorder.
What is included:
Fees include initial consultation with the couple, preparation of the ceremony (including reasonable revisions to make it “perfect!”), attendance at the rehearsal (if desired) and, of course, conducting the ceremony, and filing the marriage license.
Ceremonies performed within the greater Los Angeles area are included in the fee. Locations requiring further travel will incur an additional travel fee.
