Wedding Officiant
Choosing the right wedding officiant is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during the wedding planning process because the way your ceremony feels will be something you and your families will remember forever. Rev. Ralph works closely with each couple to create a fully customized ceremony that celebrates their unique relationship. Whether you are interested in something short and sweet, or a complicated interfaith or multicultural wedding ceremony, we are happy to collaborate with you to make your wedding ceremony exactly what you’re looking for.
We offer a simple, convenient online booking process, and make planning your wedding ceremony easy and fun. Each standard wedding ceremony package includes the following:
Initial Consultation – We want you to feel totally comfortable booking our services, which is why we offer a free, no-obligation consultation before you ever sign a contract. We typically conduct these initial consultations via Zoom, FaceTime, or phone call, but if you would prefer to meet in person somewhere near their home you can certainly do so. We will hold your wedding date for 10 days after you’ve met with Rev. Ralph, so you will have plenty of time to speak and make a decision before you need to sign a contract.
Planning Meeting – Once you’ve signed your contract and paid the 50% reservation fee, Rev. Ralph will be in touch to schedule a planning meeting. This meeting normally happens in person, but it can also be done via Face Time or phone call as well. During this time Rev. Ralph will ask you questions about what you feel is important to include in your ceremony and get to know the two of you and learn about your relationship. This information will help him to write your ceremony and making sure it reflects your beliefs and personalities.
Ceremony Editing – Following your planning meeting, your officiant will write a full draft of your ceremony and email it to you for your review. You can revise your draft ceremony as much as you’d like until it is the exact wedding ceremony you want, and then simply email your edited draft back to your officiant. We want it to feel perfect – if you need additional suggestions or guidance, we are happy to help at no additional charge.
The Ceremony! – Rev.Ralph will arrive at your wedding early to help coordinate with your attendants and vendors and get ready for the processional. Rev. Ralph will deliver the exact ceremony you’ve discussed, and create a wonderful experience for you and your guests. We would love to find out more about you and your wedding plans – to find out more about our services or to check our availability for your wedding date, please contact us.
The Marriage License – Although it’s your responsibility to get the marriage license before the wedding, Rev Ralph will take care of signing it afterward and filling it with the proper office. You’ll also get a copy of the license for you to keep, in case you need it for your records or on your honeymoon.
OPTIONAL SERVICES – Pre-marital counseling is available.
