CEREMONY TIMELINE

This is a typical wedding ceremony timeline if you book to work with me.

  1. Initial Consultation    6+ months before
    This is our first meeting and we can meet in person, via a video call or over the phone. We will discuss your plans, the venue, my price and ask each other questions.
     

  2. Booking   6+ months before
    If we are a good fit and you'd like to book me, you'll fill out the order form and pay a 50% deposit.
     

  3. Discovery   4+ months before
    I'll send over a questionnaire for you both to answer separately (it's a big help to get two different perspectives and makes for a more interesting ceremony!). Once you've completed them we will have another meeting to go through everything. Don't worry – if you'd rather not fill out a questionnaire, we can just meet and talk instead.
     

  4. Script Writing   3+ months before
    I'll spend time creating something unique and incredibly special for you. I will let you know when to expect it and I'll either send it over or we can meet to go through it. It's at this point that your final balance will be due.
     

  5. Final sign off   1+ months before
    You're happy with the script and you will have sent over any readings you'd like to be included. We can discuss your vows and if you need any help from me.
     

  6. Rehearsal (optional)   the day before
    Some couples like a rehearsal of the day. This could be in the venue or somewhere closer to home.
     

  7. The Big Day
    I will arrive at the venue an hour before the ceremony so that I can check everything is in order and ready for your special day!
