Screening Officiant Availability
Provide your wedding date, time, location and number of quest
attending.
Provide your rehearsal date, time, location and number in your
wedding party.
Type Of Ceremony
You may be interested in: religious, non-religious,
non-denominational/spiritual, traditional or non-traditional.
Consider what cultural traditions you may want to include.
Within The Ceremony
Would you like; dual ring ceremony, unity candle ceremony, wine
ceremony, roses to mothers, a reader or two, group
pronouncement, hope for children or you may like to involve
current children?
Extra Touches
Would you like to include a dove release or butterfly release? A
Singer or Musician?
Sound Effects
If the ceremony is over fifty people or if wind may be an issue;
make sure a sound system is set up for the Officiant. Usually the
D.J. can provide this service. It is always a lovely touch to have
the air softly filled with sound rather then someone projecting
sound through the two of you to make sure your guests can hear.
Time of Day
If your wedding is going to take place out doors. Make every
effort not to sit your guests in the noon day sun. Begin
ceremonies before 11:00 am or begin ceremonies after 4:00 pm.
Watch out for the glare of the setting sun, shinning in your
guests eyes. They will only see your outline.
Ceremonial Items
Matching rings for the Bride and Groom
Ceremonial Wine Goblet & Wine (If you decide to have a wine
ceremony.)
Ceremonial Candles & Holder (If you decide to have a unity candle
ceremony.)
Ceremonial Bowls for the Flower ceremony

Gown & Tuxedo/Suit
Champagne Flutes for a Wedding Toast
Perhaps a Wedding Cake
Cutting Cost
Have a luncheon rather then a dinner.
Have a champagne toast and cake cutting ceremony instead of a
reception.
Later you could have a newlywed potluck, play your wedding
ceremony video for your guest and celebrate your new
beginning. Makes a nice first anniversary celebration.
Omit the dove or butterfly release, singer or musician.
Plan the rehearsal with printed sheets instructing the wedding
party how they will enter and exit during the ceremony and what
is expected of them regarding holding the rings, brides flowers,
lighting of the candles, etc...rather then a walk through rehearsal
with dinner. |

| I started to look at all of that, then my eyes started to roll. I think I'll let the bride and her mother take care of all that stuff and just do as I'm told. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
