Your Ceremony

This is your day and your ceremony is one of the most important components of your wedding! I believe that a meaningful and memorable service that speaks to you and your hearts is a very special way to start your married life together. The vows you make on your wedding day support the commitment that you have made to one another to begin your journey together for a lifetime.

To get an idea of what your ceremony might be like, please take a look at this Pink Jeep Tour wedding at Merry Go Round Rock that I had the honor of officiating. It captures the couple and their experience so wonderfully with the glorious Red Rocks of Sedona as their backdrop. A lifetime memento of their special day, all captured by professional photographers, Katrina and Andrew of Sedona Bride.

I work with you to create a ceremony that is significant to you both. My specialty is to incorporate stories and special sayings or quotes that resonate with you and weave them into your ceremony. My objective is to give you a memory of your special day that will capture and express the love in your hearts and the journey of your lives together in a ceremony that is meaningful to you and your guests. It does not necessarily have to be intimate to “ALL”, just intimate to “the two of you”! You will have final approval of ceremony drafts as I work in steps to create the finished product.

I believe that every couple is different and has their own specialness about themselves and their relationship. My service to you is to provide you with words that truly express your uniqueness as a couple. It is an art form to create your ceremony and it is truly my pleasure to do so.

You will also receive an Intimate Sedona Wedding Ceremony “Remembrance Booklet”, a special parchment paper copy of your ceremony as a keepsake.

Some of the components within a ceremony are:

Introduction
Prayer / Blessing
Welcoming
A Reading
The Address
Vow Exchange
Ring Exchange
