When a man and woman share a special bond of love, affection
and understanding so that there is a unity between their souls and spirits,
they bring to themselves and the world a special gift and aura of happiness.
We wish to congratulate you on your engagement and offer our best wishes
for you on your wedding day.
The months ahead will be busy ones for you and we are here to make the
ceremony portion of your wedding one you don't have to worry about.
Our officiates are here for you and will do what is within their ability
to make your day go your way.
We do not restrict or associate our ceremonies with any specific religious
denomination. We can perform a non-religious (civil) ceremony if that is
what best meets the needs of the Bride and Groom.
An individuals religious or spiritual belief and path to their God or Spirit
is a personal choice that needs to be right for them.
Marriage is about love and commitment to one another, not a religious figure.
We do however believe a lasting marriage requires like religious beliefs
whatever they may be.
We do not require our couples to attend pre-marital coaching. We do not
judge our couples regarding past or present societal conventions. We do
recommend that all couples be in a long term committed relationships and
share the same appreciation and respect for a lifelong commitment.
Marriage requires a commitment to take responsibility for another person.
Marriage requires a commitment to respect another person. Marriage requires
a commitment to understand another person. All of these commitments require
that we give ourselves to another person. By giving, we experience our
strength, our vitality, and our power. We experience ourselves as overflowing
and alive. The miracle of love has brought you to this point in your lives.
And as we often think of marriage as a union of two people, in reality
it is much broader, it is the coming together of families.
A loving way to honor the joining of the your families is by inviting them
to join in the ceremony by with selected readings.
We also have special union ceremonies that include candle lighting and
sand pouring.
Our fees do not include a rehearsal. The purpose of the rehearsal is to
familiarize the wedding party of the protocols of the ceremony. These include
but are not limited to when to enter, where to stand, when to leave. There
are three ways of doing the above items, the traditional way, the modern
way and then there is your way which is the right way. Our officiates can
be there to act as a wedding coordinator and direct the wedding party as
needed. There is a fee associated with this service and is based on availability.
We strive to make your day go your way. We provide the couple with a ceremony
that our officiates prefer to use as they are familiar with the wording,
however we are pleased to offer the couple the opportunity to customize
our ceremony. We are also open to performing a ceremony that you provide
but we ask that we receive a copy in advance to allow the officiate ample
time to review and practice the delivery to insure the best performance
for you.
We do work with contracts, an inquiry is not a confirmation. To guarantee
your date and time we must receive your signed contract and required deposit
by the return date stated on the contract.
We are more than happy to speak to you and discuss any questions or concerns
you may have regarding our services. We would be honored to be included
in your special day,if you think that we would add that special touch.
May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should
bring.
