Day of Dreams

About

Of all your wedding day events none will be as important as the 30 minutes you entrust to the wedding minister performing your ceremony. Your hopes and dreams for this day, thousands of dollars, and your reputations as well as those of your families are all riding on this

With proper guidance, your ceremony will say the right things about you, through the words and events of your choosing, and create indelible memories in the hearts and minds of your guests. This tailor-made approach in wedding ceremony design will produce opportunities for exceptional photography and video footage, and will place everyone in a jubilant mood for the reception that follows.

As a wedding minister, I approach your ceremony as an opportunity- to show everyone present what this day means to you. I bring to my couples dozens of unique options they can use in making their ceremony photogenic, entertaining, and most importantly- evocative.

As you read my website, you'll discover that everything I do in a wedding ceremony is calculated for effect. Every word, every event, and every participant are collectively used in my ceremonies to deliver the praise and compliments of the audience. I don't have a casual interest in how your ceremony turns out.

Neither will I assume that you are "naturally" ready to give such a beautiful performance. This is why every aspect of your ceremony is explained first in detail and only then rehearsed (and only I perform my rehearsals, I do not send stand-ins). And this is also why my couples excel in their performances- for they know fundamentally what their ceremony requires of them, and they are exceedingly comfortable and confident in delivering it.

You’ve waited a lifetime for this, I’ll give you a Day of Dreams.

No

Are you willing to perform a ceremony at a non-religious site?

Yes, but that location must be appropriate for a wedding ceremony.

What is your attire for the ceremony?

I wear professional business attire.

Are you flexible in the wording used throughout the ceremony, including the vows?

Your ceremony wording should be respectfull to all who are attending and should not in any way be controversial. You may even provide your own ceremony wording if you like.

Do you allow the couple to write their own vows, if desired?

I strongly encourage couples to write their own vows if they wish.

Do you have a list of readings pre-selected, from which the couple must choose?

Suggested reading are on my website, or couples (or their readers) can provide their own.

How long are your ceremonies?

22 to 35 minutes is the ideal window. Less than this and guests will ask why they bothered to attend. More than this will take the applause out of your audience (they've had too much wedding).

Do you require that premarital counseling be done?

No I don't. You're adults and deserve to be treated that way. It's no ones business but yours as to why you are marrying.

Are you willing to perform pre-ceremony rehearsals?

Smaller ceremonies may not require a rehearsal. For larger ones it's required. It's no fun to be in front of 200 people and discover you don't know what to do.

Do you supply a sound system?

No, but your DJ probably does and I will be happy to work with him or her on this.
