Sample Wedding Ceremony Program

To get an idea of the types of elements that can be included in a wedding ceremony, review the sample program below. Remember, this is your wedding; your ceremony can be as simple or as creative as you desire. To get you started I will develop a custom ceremony outline just for you, based on the information you provide. We will then work on your wedding ceremony together.
Don't worry about the length of the outline below. Not every wedding ceremony requires them all. It's all up to you. Most wedding ceremonies are between 20-30 minutes in length. Yours can be as long or as short as your prefer. I will explain each formality below when we meet.
