Why Do You Need A Professional Officiant?

There has been a growing trend in couples using their friends and family members as their wedding officiants. I am always a strong proponent in couples making their wedding ceremonies as personal as possible, but in this case you may want to think twice!

Hiring an officiant to serve you may be in your best interest. There is an advantage to using a professional minister to do your wedding, who knows the lay of the land. Working previously at all of our area's venues and staff can be a plus! Working with the other vendors here also will provide a comfort for you, as we all have workign relationships with one another. Maybe most importantly, your officiant needs to know the specifics on how to correctly complete and submit your marriage license!

Allowing me, or another officiant here, to serve you is a huge honor and blessing! I always encouage my couples to include a Scripture reading or a few lines from a relative or friend, or even a song from a loved one. But on a most special, important day - your wedding - it would benefit you to consider a professional officiant.
