Many officiants will say they can “personalize” your ceremony. However, it is important to know what exactly that means to them and to you. Here are five questions to help you choose the perfect wedding officiant for your special day.
First, How much input can we have in the content of the ceremony? If you want to write you own personal wedding vows, this question is very important.
Second, Can we read the entire ceremony text in advance? We recommend doing this a few days to weeks prior to the wedding day so you have time to make changes. That brings us to the third question.
Third, Can we make changes to the ceremony script? If personalization is special to you, be sure to request the changes well in advance of the wedding. Then request a re-read. To sum up, this will ensure your sentiment has been properly represented.
Fourth, How will you include my wedding guests so they feel a part of the ceremony?
