The Purpose of the Wedding Rehearsal is:

• the opportunity to figure out all the tiny logistical details
• make your wedding ceremony run smoothly
• entering, exiting, of bridal party, groom, bride
• which way to face,
• handling the rings,
• handling the bouquet & when to pass it to maid of honor
• Candle lighters, Readers, special rituals in your ceremony
• Seating of parents/grandparents
• Cues and who’s role it is
• Flower girl & ring bearer roles, where to stand or sit
• Ushers & roles
• Maid of Honor & Best Man Roles
• The Bride and her escort need to know where to stop
• What happens at the altar standing, facing
• Table set up for Unity Candle & Sand Ceremony, Roses for mothers and who is responsible for setting up the items
• Crying children & how to handle it professionally
• Prepares you for your special day.

These steps need to be practiced so that each phase of the ceremony flows smoothly, seamlessly, beautifully so that on your wedding day everyone will be confident and poised. All of which you gained from your rehearsal!

I am a professional wedding officiant! I love weddings! Weddings are a happy and joyous event in our lives.

My belief is every couple is unique and different and each couple’s wedding ceremony should be a reflection of who they are. There are as many types of ceremonies as their are couples.  Your ceremony is a one time event! No second chances the next day, no starting over once it begins. We understand that and our goal is always to create the most beautiful memorable ceremony for you.
