Your options
I would like you to have as much input into the ceremony as you choose.
Option 1: Many people enjoy choosing readings and much of the wording in their ceremony, in which case we meet twice, usually at my home. I can give you a wealth of ideas and copies of other ceremonies to stimulate your ideas. At our second meeting we discuss extra details, such as where we will stand, mentioning people who have made a significant effort to attend or those who are unable to do so, as well as any announcements.
Sometimes where one or both of the parties have children, the marriage begins a new family and the children are acknowledged in a celebration that includes them.
You receive a copy of your ceremony to keep as a precious reminder of your marriage commitments and sentiments expressed on the day.
Option 2: Other people prefer to choose only their vows or other significant parts and leave the rest of the wording to me, in which case we meet only once before the ceremony.
In General
At all times I am available to consult with you should you need further help or suggestions. A rehearsal on site is an option if that is your preference, otherwise we discuss where we will all stand and all the other dynamics when we fine tune your ceremony. My charges reflect my time spent working on your ceremony, the number of times we meet and the location of your ceremony.
