Wedding Invitations

Choose an officiant who will set the tone you are looking for in your ceremony. See if the officiant has a video of weddings at which he or she has presided, or ask if you can attend an event to see your officiant’s style prior to your wedding.

You may want to ask for a copy of the officiant’s script before the ceremony to be sure you are comfortable with any references it may contain to your commitment and God or other religious ideas.

Look into your officiant’s background, references, or credentials before making a hiring decision. Make sure the officiant is authorized to perform marriages in your state.

Find out if the officiant will attend your wedding rehearsal.

A justice of the peace, judge, or close friend can also do the honors of marrying you if you so choose.

Most of all, be sure you click with your officiant. He or she will be the unifier of you and your fiancé, joining you together in a sacred bond.
