Classic Custom. We'll get together over the phone or in person and get a feel for the type of ceremony that you prefer. We'll then e-mail you suggested wordings (up to 25 for each part) for the traditional ceremony parts (what we call the core--or basics--of your ceremony: Opening Greeting, Preliminary Vows, Repeated Vows, Exchange of Rings, and Final Blessing) as well as some unique touches you might want to add (we have lots of ideas!). You may include up to three optional components in addition to the core components listed above for the Classic Custom.. We offer selections from a wide variety of options (including but not limited to a Bowl of Blessings, Unity Candle, Sand Ceremony, readings, Vows to your Children, Words of Thanks to your Parents/Families, Rose Ceremony) and you can still be as religious, spiritual or secular as you want to be. The Classic Custom ceremony offers you opportunity to put together a piece that is beautifully written and performed, and has a warm and personalized feel.
Your officiant will meet with you to write your ceremony. You will be given a written script of your ceremony after all the edits are made. While this economical price does not include our attendance at your rehearsal, the script will be so detailed that you can take it and walk through the rehearsal on your own. If you do want us present at your rehearsal, you'll need to upgrade to a Premium Custom ceremony.
