Do you provide pre-marrital counseling?
No, we do not, but we do recommend that the couple purchase Saving Your Marriage Before it Begins. Along with the workbooks (His & Hers) they provide the best counseling we have come upon to date.
Should I have a rehersal and will an Officiant attend?
It depends on how many attendants you will have in the ceremony. As a rule, if you are planning a small wedding, no rehearsal is needed. However, when the wedding party is large then rehearsal is recommended. Rehearsals should take place 3-12 days before the big event. If we are not able to attend your rehearsal, a detailed personalized guide will be sent to you and your wedding planner to follow.
Do you perform LGBT ceremonies?
Of course. We believe in marriage equality. In addition, we perform multi-cultural, interfaith, non-denominational, spiritual, religious and non-religious unions. It's is your day, your way. Click the link to check the laws of your state.
