OR…. Having a friend officiate, but need some help to create a beautiful ceremony?
Hiring a professional officiant ensures your ceremony will be in good hands - with someone calm, capable, and experienced at the helm.
But sometimes couples turn to a trusted friend or family member to fulfill this role as a way to honor a special person in their lives.
If you’ve asked a friend to officiate, you may be wondering - how do we write a beautiful ceremony?
For these situations I am pleased to offer a ceremony consultation package.
The ceremony consultation package includes a 50 minute zoom call where I’ll provide expert guidance to help you bring your ceremony vision to life.
You take that information and write your ceremony draft. When you’re ready you’ll share your draft with me. I’ll review your draft and then we’ll schedule another zoom call where I’ll provide feedback and answer questions.
You are welcome to invite your friend-officiant to this call and I can offer some tips for ceremony presentation.
The investment for the ceremony consult package is $325.
