You're planning your wedding, what a wonderful and exciting time as you prepare to begin a new life together. Today, more couples are seeking an alternative to one of the most important days of their lives, "the wedding day".
Along with the planning-comes questions(?). I have listed some questions and answers. Please feel free to contact me with any questions pertaining to my services, or if you would like to arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your ceremony in detail.
As a Celebrant, I am a ceremony specialist trained to create and perform custom designed personalized ceremonies which reflect individual needs, beliefs and cultural backgrounds in order to create a ceremony that will reflect the uniqueness of your relationship as a couple.
A custom personalized wedding ceremony reflects who you are as individuals and as a couple. It is very different from the type of ceremony everyone is familiar with. The best part is that we can be as creative as we want while expressing your love for each other. There are no limits! We can incorporate any family traditions, customs, rituals and readings.
Absolutely, you have final approval over the ceremony script. I will collaborate with you throughout the entire process, tailoring rituals and narrative to their specific story. I will share my resources, research traditions, email samples of vows, poems and readings.
It depends on the content of the ceremony. A custom ceremony is approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Each ceremony varies in length and time depending on the number of elements (rituals,readings). In any case, they do not exceed the maximum 25 minutes.
I am a non-denominational Ordained Minister legal to perform marriage ceremonies in the state of New Jersey and New York. I received my training in marriage Celebrancy through the Celebrant USA Foundation and earned my degree as a Ordained Minister. I have been writing and Officiating ceremonies for five years.
Three years ago my fiancee and I were where you are now. We knew that we did not want a traditional ceremony but were not sure of any alternatives. After seeking the assistance of a Celebrant and learning what a personalized ceremony was, we engaged in her service. She guided us through the process which resulted in a beautiful and still today a memorable ceremony. Having had that experience working with a Celebrant gives me the insight to bring to life your love story, values and beliefs, and to capture your true expressions within your ceremony.
The process begins shortly after booking my services. I will email you "wedding homework" i.e. Couples Questionnaire, for each of you to complete independent of one another and return to me. Your answers will guide me in writing your love story. Also attached will be a Wedding Information sheet, this will help me to coordinate your ceremony with your Bridal party, venue, and your wedding professionals. I will email you samples of ring vows, secret thoughts and readings. Once I receive your information, I begin your first draft and then we begin unlimited consultations until you are absolutely in love with the ceremony script.
Outdoor weddings, surrounded by family and friends are more intimate than other kinds of weddings and offer a certain charm, elegance and magical quality that is incomparable with anything else. I have officiated many ceremonies from beach to lakeside weddings, to a wedding in a beautiful garden or a park, a venue with breathtaking grounds, a mountain top wedding or just a simple backyard wedding.
Each ceremony is unique. My fees vary depending on individual basis. There are no hidden costs or additional fee's. My fee is all- inclusive and includes: a custom personalized ceremony, your final approval, unlimited email or phone consultations, research and resource materials, the coordinating of your wedding ceremony with venue staff, wedding consultant, bridal party, wedding professionals, audio system if needed, rehearsal at the venue, travel time to and from the rehearsal and wedding, the officiating of your ceremony.
We begin with an email or a phone call to discuss the preliminary details of your wedding i.e. date, my availability, venue, type of ceremony, bridal party, number of guest and information about the bride and groom. I then suggest that we meet for an informal no-obligation consultation to discuss your ceremony in detail. I have two locations in New Jersey that I call "my office" convenient to North, South and Central New Jersey couples, including one location in Manhattan. I will give you a packet of informative information that we will go over in detail and talk about ideas and suggestions for your ceremony, legal requirements and elements of your ceremony.
