THE NEXT STEPS
Creating your Wedding Ceremony

THE FIRST DRAFT
Creating your Personal Ceremony

When we are finished, you will have a ceremony that is fully approved by you and reflects the heart of who you are as a couple, your personalities, where you have come from and your hopes and dreams for the future.

REHEARSAL & CEREMONY
The Big Day Has Come
The rehearsal is important if you are having a larger wedding with several attendants and you want everything to go smoothly. It helps everyone to relax, including you, so they can enjoy the ceremony. On the day of your wedding, I will arrive at least a half hour before your ceremony to meet with the venue manager, musicians, DJ, photographers and key family members so that your ceremony will flow smoothly.

THE PAPERWORK
Taking Care of the Legal Details
Trust Essence Ceremonies to take care of all the paperwork and legalities. I’ll submit all the necessary legal documents to Alberta Vital Statistics or Victoria Vital Statistics Agency and provide you with a copy of your Wedding Ceremony as a keepsake. You are in good hands.
