Hills & Valley Ceremonies
FAQ
​
Do you include rehearsals?
I have a classic package that does not include the rehearsal. In the classic all you need to rehearse is the entry and exit. You wont need me for that and it saves you money if your on a budget.
If you take the Rituals package where we have a lot of movement and actions happening, I Include the rehearsal in the price!
How long is a ceremony?
I try to keep ceremonies under 30 mins so that we don't lose our audience! Also to keep kids, grandparents and dogs comfortable since it can be harder for them. That doesn't mean we can't do something longer or shorter! We will figure it out together!
We want to write our own vows - but also not sure how?
Yes! This is the only thing I cant do for you! The vows have to really come from your heart and your own words. I will send you a short guide all about vows and how to go about writing them! I am more than happy to edit them with you both separately (keep it a surprise til your big day!) so it makes sense and is easy to read (you dont have to memorize them!).
​
We are curious about your unique approach? Can you tell us more?
Absolutely! After our free call to be sure we are all meant to be, I will provide you both a questionnaire. I will ask that you both take your copy and answer it separately from one another. This way, I can really get a feel for both of you as individuals and see your relationship from your points of view; and my central view. From there, I will draw out the love story and take key moments, wordings and humor right from your answers to create the most YOU a ceremony can ever be!
I bring the guests on an ride from the moments you met, to falling in love, through fun you've had (maybe even triumph) and just how we got to the altar. Together we watch the next part of this epic love story unfold into you stepping into your marriage! Its really the best way to wed!
We would like to see a sample of your writing.
Great! I want you to also because it will really help you decide if this is right for you! Give me a call or an email and lets talk! I have lots to share and want to make sure you get a sample that will come close to your style. chosen rituals and vision!
We are on a really tight budget.
Budgeting is good! But its key to know what your prioritise are. If the ceremony is not a high priority but the party and fashion are, there are plenty of low cost officiants out there with pre-written scripts they can rattle off in minutes. I am not a budget officiant and offer something truly unique, custom and memorable. Choosing my work means that your ceremony is the moment you've been waiting for and I vow to you to freeze a moment in time, and in your love that will last forever. (not to mention, cakes are triple my cost and you flush it away the next day! Priorities are key!)
