Let’s be honest – planning the wedding of your dreams can be overwhelming. Yet with the right officiant, creating a dream wedding ceremony can be a joy. I can make that dream come true and in a way that is easy and exciting!

As your wedding officiant, I am at your service throughout the process of planning your wedding ceremony, from the initial discussions to the ceremony itself. You can feel completely confident knowing that I will always respect your wishes. Together we will design a unique ceremony that honors your values and traditions.

Here are my seven steps to your perfect wedding ceremony:

1. An Easy Planning Process

   After you select me, I’ll provide you with my unique Wedding Ceremony Planning Booklet containing many terrific choices for Readings, Exchange of Vows, Exchange of Rings, and Wedding Ceremony Traditions (optional). And to help you indicate your selections, I’ve created an easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blanks Wedding Ceremony Planning Questionnaire.

2. Our Initial Meeting

   When we meet, we will review all the elements of the wedding ceremony you envision and discuss anything else to create the wedding of your dreams.

3. A Highly-Personalized Ceremony

   Based on your completed questionnaire and our meeting, you will receive a customized draft wedding ceremony script for your review. This script will be a clear, well-organized document, fully detailed and complete. The development of your personalized ceremony script is unique to my services. With your script in hand, you will feel confident knowing that your wedding ceremony will reflect your beliefs, values, and your distinctive personality.  Ready to get started?   Contact me or call 703-951-7090 to begin.

4. Easy Revisions

   Once you receive your script, you can review at your leisure. We will work together over the coming months to make it absolutely perfect. Changes? Of course, there will be changes – don’t worry I am flexible and easy to work with. This is your day, not mine!

5. Marriage License

   Each state has individual marriage license requirements. During our first meeting, we will discuss what you need to do to get a marriage license.  You will need to have your marriage license by the marriage rehearsal.

6. Wedding Rehearsal

   By this point, you’ll have the complete and final script. We will rehearse the service at the location of your choice. You will have the security of knowing that you, your wedding party, family, and guests are comfortable and confident.

7. The Perfect Wedding Day Ceremony

   After the rehearsal, you will be fully prepared and ready for the ceremony. You won’t need to be in charge of anything. You can be completely in the moment, enjoying your big day.  Ready to begin a discussion?  Contact me or call 703-951-7090.

“We had a light hearted ceremony with relatable language and true feelings of how we wanted to express ourselves to the friends and family in attendance. We laughed and cried, it was truly awesome! I couldn’t have imagined it without Bill, wish we could do that every week it was such a good time.
