Wedding Ceremonies by Heather

Once you choose me to be your officiant I require three things. One is a contract in which I will email to you at the email address you prefer. Two I will also include a questionnaire through a Google Doc that allows for me to get to you know you a little better and helps me in personalizing your ceremony. Last, is the deposit. I do require a deposit of $50 to hold the date and time of your ceremony. You can then pay the remainder of the balance however you would like up to the day BEFORE your wedding ceremony. I accept cash, check, PayPal, and Venmo.

The one other thing that I recommend is that if you are having a wedding rehearsal that you PLEASE bring your marriage license there so it is one last thing that you have to worry about on the day of the ceremony. If you are not having a rehearsal, or you do not need me to be present, please make sure that I receive this PRIOR to the ceremony. Again, this is for your convenience as you don't want me waiting around after photos for someone to go find it. The wedding is YOUR day and you don't want to take any time away from that. I promise.

I have been doing weddings for about four years now. I was asked by two of my closest friends to officiate their wedding several years ago for two reasons. One, because I was a close friends of theirs and two because I had years of public speaking experience in front of large crowds. From there, I had other friends ask me to officiate, and friends of friends, and I genuinely loved what I was doing so I started marketing myself to others. I have performed almost a hundred weddings now. It is something that I love to be a part of, and I hope that you choose me to be a part of your special day.

I try to work my ceremonies around your wants or needs. Every couple is different as is everyone's idea for their perfect wedding. Some couples want easy, breezy simple ceremonies and other's want more lavish ceremonies with specific readings, or smaller ceremonies incorporated into the larger one. Also, many weddings today are non-traditional. For many, this might not be their first marriage, and they may have children that they want to incorporate into their ceremony. I can make that a reality. That is my primary goal. If you are looking for a specifically themed wedding, I can certainly accommodate that too. I LOVE love. As cheesy as it may sound.

I require no specific lighting, sound or stage. I stand where you want me to stand. I can be loud if no microphone is available, and I am perfectly fine with the happy couple being the center of attention.
