rehearsal. For instance: Everyone knowing where to stand, when to walk, when to answer, who walks with whom, who does what
during the ceremony, what to do with sand vessel, who will take charge of vessel, optimal photo's and many more details you couples
don't often realize. We will gladly discuss your situation with you.
CEREMONY INFORMATION

the day of your wedding 10 - 15 minutes early to coordinate any last minute details (with florist, person video taping wedding,
photography, etc.)
WHEN YOU GIVE US YOUR CEREMONY TIME, WE NEED THE ACTUAL TIME YOUR CEREMONY
WILL BEGIN.
For example: Bride said her ceremony start time was 2pm. The Minister arrived at 1:45 pm to check on Bride & Groom then start the
wedding at 2pm. Upon arrival, the Minister is told that Bride is not there and will not be there until just before 3pm when the ceremony
will begin. Bride was worried and wanted to make sure everyone was there in plenty of time. We will not tolerate this!
We schedule our Minister's, and allow for travel time allowances. If our minister arrives and has to wait for the ceremony to
begin, We will charge an additional $25.00 fee per every 15 minute increment beyond 15 minutes after your agreed upon
start time. Example: Your ceremony is scheduled to start 2 pm. Your Ceremony doesn't start till 2:35 you owe the minister an extra
$25.
IF WE HAVE ANOTHER WEDDING TO PERFORM AFTER YOURS, AND YOUR CEREMONY BEGINS LATE, Due to your
circumstances (above example or someone isn't there, etc.) and the Minister has another couple's wedding ceremony to perform.
