Your wedding officiant is a key player who sets the tone for your entire wedding ceremony, so be sure to find the perfect person to lead your special day. Here are questions you should ask the wedding officiant during the interview stage with our answers!
During the busy season it is common for officiants to book 1-2 weddings on the same day. We leave several hours between weddings if we book more than 1 a day per officiant. For example, we may have a wedding at 10am and 6pm. You don't want YOUR wedding impacted because the wedding before yours ran late, or the officiant was stuck in traffic!!
We have been performing weddings for several years. We perform 12 or more ceremonies per year.
I have several other officiants I can call upon if needed, if one is sick, another can step in. No, I have never been late or missed a wedding!
Of course! We work hand in hand with the other vendors to make your ceremony the best it can be.
No. However, if you choose to do that, we do offer these classes.
We are always available via email, and you can schedule a call with us at your convenience. See our packages for specific number of consultations either local, or by video.
After the ceremony, and before the photos is when we sign the license usually in the same area as the ceremony. Yes, we can return the properly filled out marriage license on your behalf should you request it.
Yes, we have a brochure that outlines the ceremony package. Once we have had our initial consultation and package selected, an invoice for the deposit which is 25% of the fee will be sent to hold the day. Anything over 50 miles will have a travel fee added (gov’t mileage rate).
include: unlimited phone and email support, personalized wedding ceremony that captures your love, professional delivery of your ceremony, file the marriage license with the proper court (if applicable) and travel to your ceremony location.
While not required it is always appreciated.
Life happens, and something could prevent your wedding from occurring as planned. Your agreement will lock in Melody’s Marriage Memories to your date and time of ceremony; henceforth blocking MMM from booking another Couple on same date and time. For this purpose; if for any reason a decision is made not to use the services of MMM after retaining by deposit, the Couple must inform MMM in writing at least 30 days prior to the ceremony date to release the Couple from the agreement. The Couple will be able to reschedule using the monies paid for 6 months after the cancellation date. No refunds will be issued.
Each ceremony is unique, so the time is dependent on the length of the ceremony. We will let you know the time needed when we have a completed ceremony outlined. Average is 15-30 minutes.
Of course!
Absolutely!
We want your ceremony to reflect your love! What is better than your own words? We will assist you in doing this!!
I hope these questions (and answers) help you on your journey to find the right officiant for you! It is vital that you are relaxed and comfortable with who you choose! Take a moment to check out our reviews, and contact us if you have any questions!!
