Officiant Coaching
Whether you are wanting a way to include loved ones into a ceremony or lessen the costs of your wedding day, being asked to marry two people is an honor and responsibility to be taken seriously. There is an art to cultivating and holding a space as sacred and I am here to guide you through the process! Read on below.
I remember the first time I was asked to officiate a ceremony. I was honored and excited, but when the time came to actually sit down and write the ceremony, I hardly knew where to begin! Luckily, I have had a dear friend and mentor who was already in the industry, so she offered the guidance I needed to create and perform my first ceremony. She helped me write the ceremony, gave me pointers on how to perform the ceremony, and after she walked me through the process of filling out and submitting the marriage license. Since then, I have officiated over 200 ceremonies and fine-tuned my approach to creating and performing custom ceremonies.
There is an art to writing and performing a marriage ceremony. I have spent over 5 years cultivating an approach to crafting unique and personalized ceremonies and holding space during the ceremony. There are so many little details that can enhance a ceremony as well as things that should be avoided.
The ceremony may appear to be a small part of the wedding day, but I believe it is the most important. It is a sacred moment between two people who are acknowledging their love and consenting to join their lives together. The ceremony itself should be a reflection of a couple’s unique love.
