"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."

Hiring an experienced professional to perform your marriage ceremony is one of the best decisions you can make when planning a wedding. Most engaged couples haven't seen many wedding ceremonies, and often don't understand the important role that the officiant plays in setting the tone for the entire wedding day.

A professional officiant has experience and knowledge that enables them to craft a wedding ceremony script and also create the perfect atmosphere for your ceremony. When you see an experienced officiant deliver an amazing ceremony with "all the feels," that's no accident - it's the result of their specialized knowledge, preparation, and talent.

PROCESS

Initial Consultation

We want you to feel totally comfortable booking our services, which is why we offer a free, no-obligation meet and greet with your officiant before you ever sign up. We typically conduct these initial consultations via Zoom or phone.

Planning Meeting

Once you’ve signed the invoice and paid the 50% reservation fee, your officiant will be in touch to schedule a planning/consultation meeting. This meeting normally happens in person, but it can also be done via video or phone call as well. Your officiant will ask you questions about what you feel is important to include in your ceremony and get to know the two of you and learn about your relationship. This information will help your officiant in writing your ceremony to make sure it reflects your beliefs and personalities. A rehearsal practice will be conducted to review what will be said and done.

The Ceremony

Your officiant will arrive at your wedding early to help coordinate with your attendants and get ready for the processional. We are more than happy to work with other wedding professionals and are perfectly comfortable with photographers taking pictures anywhere they would like during the ceremony. Your officiant will deliver the exact ceremony you’ve discussed and create a wonderful experience for you and your guests.

The Marriage License

Although it’s your responsibility to get the marriage license before the wedding, your officiant will take care of signing it afterward and filing it with the proper office. You’ll also get a copy of the license for you to keep, in case you need it for your records or on your honeymoon.

Our Legal Stance on Marriage

We stand on our Judeo-Christian beliefs and only accept clients who align with our faith and have the right to deny service.
- We believe that God created all things to display His immeasurable glory (Colossians 1:16). The pinnacle of God's creation was a man and woman (male and female) created in his image (Genesis 1-2). From the beginning, God established the institution of marriage between a man and a woman as a permanent and unchanging part of the manifestation of God's glory in the world (Genesis 2:18-25; Ephesians 5:22-33).
- Therefore, we believe that God is the only one who can define, explain, and set limits on marriage and sexuality. We, then, must follow God's purposes and design rather than any culture, organization, or government.
- We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and this gift of gender is part of the goodness of God's creation. These two distinct and complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). So, we believe that rejection of one's biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person and is contrary to God's creation and design.
- We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the union of a man and a woman in a unique and exclusive union, as defined in the Scriptures (Genesis 2:18-25).
- We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4), and any sexual activity outside of the protection of a Biblical marriage is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18-20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
- However, we believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking mercy and forgiveness from him through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). As a church, we believe that every person should be given compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). We believe that compassion and kindness are most important not in condoning sin or ignoring God's commands in Scripture, but in calling sinners to repent of their sin and believe in Jesus. Therefore, it is our desire to help those who struggle with sexual sin, seeking to love people in the name of Jesus and pointing all people to the power of Jesus to forgive and heal.
