Custom Wedding Ceremony

Your ceremony. Your story. Your way.

No two couples are exactly alike, and their wedding ceremonies don't have to be either.

Tell us about the wedding you're planning and we'll use your ceremony details to provide a customized officiant quote.

Come for the love. Stay for the cake.

A custom ceremony is written for the two of you — your words, your traditions, your people. It can be reverent or funny, ten minutes or thirty, deeply religious or entirely secular. What it should never be is generic.

The intake form below is how we learn what your wedding actually looks like. It takes about ten minutes, saves as you go, and only asks the questions that apply to you.

What the intake form covers

Twelve short sections

01

The couple

Names, pronouns, how you want to be announced, and how to reach you.

02

The wedding

Date, time, venue, indoors or outdoors, and roughly how many guests.

03

Type of ceremony

Religious, spiritual, secular, traditional, modern, interfaith or cultural.

04

Ceremony style

How you want it to feel, and how long you want it to run.

05

Your story

How you met, what makes this work, and what you'd like said out loud.

06

Vows & rings

Traditional, written by you, written with you, or repeat-after-me.

07

Special elements

Unity candle, sand, handfasting, jumping the broom, readings and more.

08

Wedding party

Who's standing up, who's reading, who's playing, who's walking in.

09

Rehearsal

Whether you'd like the officiant there — and whether that includes the dinner.

10

Travel & location

Venue type, parking, access requirements and anything unusual.

11

Special requirements

Venue, family or faith requirements we should know about.

12

Review & submit

See everything you entered, then send it over for a quote.

About religious ceremonies

If you select a religious or interfaith ceremony, the form asks about your faith tradition and any readings, prayers, blessings or requirements you'd like included. We collect this so we can determine whether the ceremony you're asking for is one we can appropriately perform. We do not promise to perform every religious rite or to satisfy every denomination's requirements, and we will tell you honestly if your ceremony would be better served by clergy of your tradition.

About rehearsals

Rehearsal attendance and rehearsal dinner attendance are not automatically included in a ceremony price. They are asked about separately on the intake form so they can be factored into your custom quote.
