How they work

The second consultation includes a talk-through rehearsal where the details and flow of the ceremony are confirmed. The process also includes the following:

• Conducting a customized wedding ceremony
• Helpful, professional, hands on support with the entire ceremony experience
• Access to the officiant to help guide the client throughout the entire wedding planning process
• Filing of Marriage Registry after the ceremony, which will then be mailed to the Office of the Registrar General with the completed marriage license
• A “Wedding Kit" is also provided that includes helpful resources as the couple continue their relationship journey Deborah arrives 15-20 minutes early on the day of the wedding.

She then connects with the groom and groomsmen and makes sure that the license and rings are in place. She provides day-of Ceremony co-ordination with other wedding professionals which can take up the responsibility of a coordinator if there is none.
