The Custom Ceremony Package

This is the most popular package. I recommend an initial call or video chat before any booking to make sure I am the right fit for your big day. After we have agreed it's a good fit,  confirmed my availability and I've received your deposit. I will send you a questionnaire via Google Docs. This will ask for information about what you would like for some of the finer details of the ceremony, how I'll be dressed, as well as ask about your specific love story. This is not meant to be homework, some people prefer to write things out, others prefer to discuss over a call. After you have reviewed the questionnaire we will set up a call or video chat to go over everything. Once I have all of that information I can write up a draft, this takes a couple weeks. I will share that with you via Google Docs and you can provide me feedback so I can further edit it and you're welcome to edit yourself. There is no limit on the amount of edits. I understand things can be fluid and we can adjust things all the way up until you are walking down the aisle. My aim is to be upbeat, lighthearted and romantic. I hope to tell the story of how you met, how your relationship grew and how the proposal happened. If you choose to keep your vows private, I will provide vow options to use during the ceremony, I understand that for some it's important to share those promises in private. If you would like assistance in writing your vows I can certainly help.

One or two weeks before your wedding I'll set up a final meeting. This will be to review everything we've already discussed. Any final questions can be answered and we can make any changes needed to the plan. I also confirm where your wedding venue is zoned so that the licenses are filled out and filed properly.

On the day of your wedding I will arrive approximately 45 minutes before the start of the ceremony. I will be wearing a suit with a tie to match your color scheme. If your wedding is themed and you require me to wear something besides a traditional suit I am more then happy to work with you on that. My first order of business will be to make sure that the rings and the marriage licenses are there. I will use this time to sign the licenses along with your two witnesses. I am then available for line up or anything else that may be needed prior to the ceremony. I go out before the processional and let your guests know we will be getting started and any house keeping notes. During the ceremony I will read from a leather binder unless you prefer something else. 

If the municipality the wedding took place has a drop box, I will drop the licenses off following the ceremony. If the do not, on the next available business day, I will mail your marriage licenses to the appropriate town clerk via certified mail. I will provide you with this tracking information. Once I see the license has arrived at the town clerk I will contact them and ensure everything is in order. I will notify you once I have confirmed everything is complete.
