"Your Wedding Officiant" team offers a variety of services to couples and can adapt any ceremony to meet the desires and beliefs of each couple. As ordained ministers, we have officiated hundreds of weddings over the years and bring our expertise along with formal training in public speaking, ceremony construction, and ceremony execution in creating and performing wedding ceremonies. As non-denominational, interfaith ministers, and a married catholic priest, we are open to ALL couples regardless of their beliefs or religious affiliations. Personal convictions, desires, and wants will be the guiding factor in helping to create ceremony choices. We will do our best to provide an enjoyable experience with the least amount of stress possible.
To begin, Rev. Dennis will work with the couple by having them decide on the type of Ceremony Framework they desire which will determine the fee.
Wedding Ceremony Frameworks
Ceremonies are held at the place of your choosing and will be reflective of your love and life.
We have a "No Surprise" policy. This means that Rev. Dennis will provide you with a complete copy of your ceremony several weeks prior to your wedding day. Therefore, you will not be surprised by what is said - you will know!
Ceremony fees are based on the Framework you choose, not the number of people attending your wedding or the number of people in your wedding party. As such, a Simple Classic ceremony will cost less than a Breathtaking Grandeur ceremony. In addition, we use a "menu" selection of additional services and ceremonies so that you can choose the services and/or ceremonies you want for your Wedding Ceremony. We also can tailor the vast majority of ceremonies and services to say exactly what you want.
We have produced several excellent Wedding Planning Guides provided to couples who choose above the Just the Two of Us Ceremony, as we work to plan YOUR wedding celebration! This is provided after we have received your signed Letter of Agreement and placed your down payment The guides provide a myriad of options and choices for the wording and construction of your ceremony. Topics include "Designing Your Wedding Ceremony", "Wedding Scriptural Readings", "Wedding Secular Readings", "Writing Your Personal Vows", and "Unity Ceremonies and additional ceremonies". You make the initial selections and then we will work together to craft the unique, One-Of-A-Kind ceremony for your Wedding.
Long Distance Planning:
Planning a wedding long distance can be a very trying experience! If you are choosing to marry in the areas we serve but currently live elsewhere across the globe, Rev. Dennis can help you design your unique wedding ceremony with step-by-step materials, guidelines, and samples. He will also schedule meetings and discussions via Zoom, telephone, or email communications in planning and constructing your ceremony. We have local area weddings that have started in Japan, German, England, and the Philippines. Stateside, we have covered the length and width of the country along with Hawaii and Alaska.
Family Blending
This ceremony is directed towards those individuals who are getting engaged or are already engaged and who have children. Often times, children feel left out of their parent(s) wedding ceremonies. Therefore, Rev. Dennis will work with the newly engaged couple to include their children as part of the ceremony from the beginning. This will help them to know that they are still a very special part of their parent(s) life and part of their parent(s) new life together as well.
Vow Renewal
Already made your commitment to each other? Why not hold a special anniversary and renewal of your vows? A ceremony of re-commitment and dedication to each other is a beautiful way to express your ongoing love. Children can be included to be a part of the ceremony to reinforce their parents love and commitment to them and to each other, along with showing their support for their parents.
