Your Customized Ceremony

I have been trained and certified specifically in wedding ministry that has prepared me to provide a strong capability to maximize the experience you have during your ceremony.  This is a moment you have always dreamed of and will always remember.  Customizing your ceremony will help provide that experience.  There are a number of considerations in putting together a customized ceremony for you. There can be numerous combinations of these attributes, but in the end the ceremony will be one that makes this wedding uniquely yours. I will be working with you taking into consideration the following attributes to design your ceremony and combine with your uniqueness into a ceremony that reflects you as a couple:

1. The Character of your ceremony – Do you want a traditional ceremony, or something that is slightly modified? Maybe you would like to include some of the traditional elements, but have your ceremony primarily non-traditional. Then again, you may want a totally non-traditional wedding.

2. Your Beliefs – Do you want a religious ceremony? That means that it includes religious traditions specific to your traditional beliefs. Or, you may want a more spiritual ceremony. That means it isn’t as tied to religious traditions as it is acknowledging a spiritual relationship. Do you want a balance of the two? Maybe what you want is a Semi-Religious ceremony that doesn’t sound “churchy” but you want it to be spiritual with a bit of tradition included.

3. Your Wedding Style – Do you want your ceremony to be formal? Or maybe you want it to be Semi-Formal, which is the most common. Maybe you are having a small wedding (under 75 guests) in your backyard or at a more affordable location. In that case maybe you want a Semi-Not-Formal wedding. Another option is that you want a very casual wedding that is not formal at all.

4. The Format of the Ceremony – A final consideration is whether or not you want a standard wedding ceremony that is not modified in any way. This might be the case if you are having a formal wedding. If that isn’t the case, maybe you would like the standard ceremony with a few modifications, which is more common. Sometimes, you are really interested in having the content of the ceremony modified to reflect the uniqueness of you as a couple. And at a more extreme version, you want a totally unique ceremony from start to finish.
