The Importance of a Professional Wedding Officiant

The wedding officiant that you pick to perform your ceremony, is the person you are counting on to share your vision, personalize your vows, and finalize your special day.

Before you book your wedding officiant, know what to ask and what to expect for your money. Wedding Officiant fees can vary between $150.00 to $450.00.  The bridfe and groom have to make certain they know what they are getting. A higher price does not always mean a better officiant so be prepared when you interview them.

Once you have established a date, time and venue for your wedding, it's time to look for a wedding officiant. Start looking early as the best officiants, like the best vendors, tend to get booked quickly. See how much "control" your officiant allows you over your ceremony. Is your wedding officiant interfaith? Are you getting a  "word for word" style ceremony that is read for every couple? How much choice and input are you given in putting together your ceremony? Will your officiant help with advice in writing your own vows? Is the officiant helpful in giving you suggestions for readings and ceremony ideas?

An officiant should have no problem giving you references. If they have objections and negativity against your ideas, don't walk, run! An officiant should always return your calls, answer your e-mails, and be available to you for all your questions and needs.  They should also be at your ceremony early to go over things and make sure there are no problems. Your payment is probably non-refundable so make certain you get your questions answered and feel comfortable that your officiant shares your dream of the perfect ceremony.

Finally, did you know you can get married at the airport, in a park, your favorite restaurant, in a skating rink, the top floor of a building that overlooks the city, or anywhere else you desire? Well you can. So consider what your day means to you and follow your dream!
