Personalized Wedding Ceremonies
Each wedding ceremony is a completely unique creation. Your ceremony may contain traditional
and contempory elements of your choosing, as well as unique, inspired elements that we
create together. The ceremony is fashioned for you alone. No two couples are the same:
your unique story, your families, your cultural and religious heritages as well as those elements
that have become meaningful to you as adults can be honored in your wedding ceremony.
Part of this process is my asking you lots of questions so that I can get to know
you, your history and your relationship well. This allows me to create a ceremony that is
all about you and your distinctive relationship.
We are happy to work with you to create your wedding ceremony on short notice.
