8 Tips to help you hire the right wedding officiant by Reverend Arlene Ponack
1.Your
Ceremony, your way.
Make
sure your ceremony is exactly the way you want it! Some Officiants
have generic “cookie-cutter” ceremonies. Ideally, your
ceremony, like every other aspect of your wedding is the outward
expression of your personalities, values, beliefs and traditions,
blended into a ritual that is the celebration of your love. Take
the stress out of your wedding and give yourself the peace of mind
knowing your ceremony will be exactly the way you want it!
2.
Create a Beautiful Ceremony
In
order to create a ceremony that is beautiful in your eyes, the
Officiant must listen to your wants, needs, and desires. The
Officiant should be interested in all your wedding details from how
you met to the proposal. A wedding Officiant should have the
willingness and enthusiasm to make your day special. The Officiant
should be sensitive and caring and should make you feel relaxed
enough to smile, laugh and enjoy your wedding. You want an Officiant
who will create a lasting memory of your special day!
3.Hiring
a Professional Award Winning Public Speaker
Having
an Officiant that is comfortable speaking in front of small or large
groups of people and has excellent public speaking and communication
skills will make your wedding more memorable. An Officiant who has
the knowledge of voice projection will be able to convey the
beautiful message of your ceremony to your invited family and
friends.4. Experience is vital.
If you need an Officiant to blend different religions or diverse backgrounds, it is important to have a professional Officiant that will go above and beyond to make your ceremony uniquely special. Wedding ceremonies, Vow renewals, and Commitment ceremonies should be written and performed with great care and professionalism!
5.
Excellent communication skills!
An
Officiant should have the ability to reduce stress and bring joy for
your special day. When an Officiant truly loves and cares about about
you and your ceremony, his or her passion should show when creating
and delivering your wedding ceremony. A ceremony that you will
remember as one of the most joyous moments of your life!
6.
Trust: A key ingredient
One
of the most important elements in your relationship with your
Officiant is trust; trust in their professional competency! Trust
that your ceremony will be conducted according to mutual agreed plans
and according to your wishes is also important when choosing the
right Officiant. Trust that you can leave it in his or her hands
knowing that your day will begin with a beautiful personalized
ceremony that will reflect the love between the two of you.
7.Free
Consultation.
It
is important to speak with your Officiant
to see if he or she is a good fit for your ceremony. By having a
conversation by phone or in person, you’ll find out if your
Officiant is a true professional who knows how to help you plan a
successful event. Choosing the right Wedding
Officiant is
one of the most important decisions you’ll make during the wedding
planning process, because the way your ceremony feels will be
something you and your families will remember forever.
8.
Flexibility and understanding
The
day should be all about you! The Officiant should create a ceremony
that reflects your values, beliefs, traditions, families,
personalities, and ideas. Your Officiant will set the tone for your
entire day. Don't leave your Wedding ceremony, Vow Renewal ceremony,
or Commitment ceremony to chance. Your Officiant should provide you
with beautiful memories for years to come as you enter into your new
life.
