Are you planning your wedding or committment and wondering what to do about your ceremony? Here are some useful guidelines when picking your ceremony officant:
1. Meet the officiant IN PERSON. You can learn so much more about what kind of ceremony they will perform for you through a personal face to face conversation. You don't want to meet your officiant for the first time on your wedding day. Make sure that you connect with your officiant on a personal basis. Don't be afraid to communicate clearly what you want and ask them directly if this is what they offer. This must be a good match.
2. Discuss with your officiant your specific wants, needs and goals, for example, a poem or reading, or personally written vows.
3. Decide if you want a formal or informal ceremony, and if your officiant is a good match for this.
4. Keep an open mind. We have all seen male wedding officiants on television growing up. Females also officiate wedding ceremonies and are also able to communicate your sensitive needs on your special day.
The most important thing to remember is your comfort zone is the most important. Take your time and choose your officiant with as much care and thought as your wedding gown. It has to be a good fit, suit your style and look good in the pictures!
All the best! Be sure to call or email if you would like more information about Ideal I Do's - The Celebration starts at the Ceremony!
