I’m tying the knot. We want a lovely ceremony that reflects us as a couple, but I have no idea where to begin.
First of all, congrats on being engaged! It should be enjoyable to organize your wedding at this great time. You’re getting ready to throw a party to kick off the rest of your lives together. Soak a break from planning, if you haven’t already, and simply take in the thrill of being engaged.
We frequently get inquiries from engaged couples who are overwhelmed by the thought of planning their wedding, let alone their ceremony (the portion where they actually get married). Fortunately, you don’t have to do everything by yourself even if there may be a lot to think about when organising a wedding and wedding ceremony.
Wedding venues, wedding planners, florists, stylists, stationery designers, party rental companies, caterers, bakers, DJs, musicians, photographers, videographers, jewellers, tailors, retailers, hotels, and, of course, officiants are all available and eager to help you with every aspect of your special day. Each expert can direct you to another.
Our primary responsibility as your wedding officiant is to assist you in designing a ceremony that matches your personalities and vision for your ideal elopement or small wedding, to provide professional, empathetic officiating for you on the big day, and to ensure that you are legally wed. That is a thing, yes.
When choosing the details of your wedding ceremony, keep the following in mind:
How do you want both you and your guests to feel during the ceremony? Your Officiant can assist you with the rest if you begin here.
Do you desire a religious ceremony? Non-religious? an amalgamation? Multi-cultural? Themed?
Do you prefer an inside or an outdoor ceremony?
Do you prefer a big gathering with all of your family and friends or a small gathering with a select group?
How many guests, if any, you would want to have at your wedding;
Would you prefer any music or readings before or during the ceremony? These enhance the mood without lengthening your ceremony.
Would you want to write your own vows, use some classic ones, or combine the two? and
What kind of unity ritual, if any, would you prefer? This is a wonderful approach to respect your kinship and cultural heritage.
