1. Preliminary meeting with couple to
determine what style of ceremony is envisioned and what is to be included.
This session is scheduled in a location that is mutually convenient, and is
typically conducted at least a month before the wedding. However, this time
frame is flexible, because "life happens."
2. Professionally-written customized wedding ceremony
created by
Jody Serey, whose background includes
extensive work in rituals and ceremonies. She also brings with her decades
of work as a lyrics writer, playwright, librettist, and poet. She is also
a professional editor, so whatever work of your own you wish to include in
your ceremony will be handled with great skill and respect.
Special observances can
make your wedding even more memorable and meaningful, and will be performed at no
extra charge if you want to include one or even more.
3. Rehearsal to ensure that everything
is exactly the way you want it to be. We are pleased to work with your wedding
planner, or
we will be happy to facilitate the
rehearsal.
4. Professionally-designed keepsake ceremony booklet
printed on beautiful paper, bound in an attractive cover, and embellished
with gold cord. You will be given the actual booklet used during your ceremony.
When it's time to renew your vows, you will be able to refer to every word
of your actual wedding. All booklets are custom-designed and hand-assembled.

or Bedside

tender and meaningful as we can. Choose from several prepared ceremonies,
and we will make sure your wedding is memorable. Call us when you have your
marriage license, and we will come to you.
Custom-created Ceremony,
Without Officiant Services
Maybe you love your current minister, but hate the "canned" ceremony
you're being offered. Or perhaps you love everything about us, but hate
the fact that we're thousands of miles away.
We can still help you have a perfect day. Thanks to email and the telephone,
we can still create the ceremony that says exactly what you feel.
If it's an emergency, say so. Most ceremonies can be completed in 24 hours.
Assistance With Vows
Love your minister, love the ceremony, but need help writing your vows? Few
things could be worse on your wedding day than facing your beloved, looking
into the eyes that love you, and having absolutely nothing memorable to say.
Spare yourself (and your relatives) this agony.
Assistance With Vows $75
Tributes and Toasts
