Wedding Officiants

Choosing the person who will perform your wedding ceremony may be as easy as asking your long-time pastor in the Church you're to married in, or it may involve interviewing officiants whom you've never had contact with before.

The most important thing is that you and your fiancé feel comfortable with this person -- and with any luck you'll know right away whether you both "click" with him or her. Recommendations from recently-married friends or colleagues in the area can be very helpful here.

As with all of your wedding vendors, be sure to have a signed contract in place with your wedding officiant, and set up a meeting with your officiant approximately two weeks before your wedding day to discuss your chosen wedding vows and wording. Also discuss any other ceremony elements you wish to incorporate, including any wedding music or wedding readings.
