![]() You've invested your heart and soul into this event, and as the time approaches you begin to reflect on the decisions leading up to this point. Today the decor and food choice seems to pale in significance to the officiant who will spearhead the event. Many couples wrestle with the question of who should officiate their wedding, especially if they don't have a church or a Pastor who knows their names. Dana SalsburyM.Th offers 15 years of both non-denominational ministry and professional event-planning experience. His public speaking experience spans 16 years, 16 states and two foreign countries. He has officiated weddings since 1998. "As an ordained minister, I believe in the power of love, regardless of the level of spirituality. I feel that spiritualizing a wedding for a not-so-spiritual couple is a disservice to them. Everything about a wedding personifies the couple, so I match the ceremony with the couple's spirituality and represent them by my words." Reverend Giovanni has been performing ceremonies for all faiths since 1987, and serves a ministry of feeding and caring for children in Juarez Mexico and beyond. He just received the honor of 2010's Best Non-religious Officiant in the Wedding Chronicle's Reader's Poll. He has also won Weddingwire's Bride's Choice awards for both 2009 and 2010.
We will help you with navigating the wedding license procedures, and will assume the responsibility of verifying and submitting your license after the wedding -- that's no time to concern yourself with paperwork! All fifty states. Can we read your ceremony before our wedding day? Yes. You will be able to read and approve your script, so you know what will transpire. We do speak off-script at the beginning in order to assure that your guests feel like they are a part of your wedding and not merely spectators. We want to draw them in. Will you allow us to write our own vows? Absolutely. This is often the most powerful part of the ceremony, and we highly recommend it. Do you have a back up officiant on call, in case of an emergency? Yes, we have many connections. How long does the ceremony usually last? It entirely depends on the preferences of the couple and number of events within the ceremony. Most fall between 12-20 minutes. Will you marry couples of different faiths or previous divorce? Yes. Our conviction is that all couples have the right to marry, and that society benefits from the institution of marriage. It is the responsibility of the couple to determine their own compatibility and preparedness. What documents do we need to bring to our first meeting? Just ideas. At the ceremony you will need your license. How long after the ceremony do you file for the official marriage license? After the signing we submit the license the next business day. What kind of pre-wedding counseling is required, if any? None, though we do offer it. How far are you willing to travel? Is there a travel fee? I will travel wherever love blossoms. Travel fees cover fuel and accommodations. What are your standard payment terms? 50% to secure the date. The remainder is due after the ceremony. |
