What actually happens in a ceremony consultation
When couples book a discovery call with me, they often arrive not quite knowing what to expect. Which is completely fine. Here's what actually happens, and why the process works the way it does.
The discovery call
This is a short, informal conversation, usually around 20 minutes. No agenda, no prepared questions, just a chance to meet each other.
I want to know who you are and what you're imagining for your day. You want to know whether you'd feel comfortable with me standing at the front of your ceremony. Neither of those things take very long to figure out.
If we both feel like it's a good fit, we talk about your date, your venue, and what the next steps look like.
The couple interview
This is the heart of it. It usually happens a few months out from your wedding, and it runs for an hour or two.
I ask a lot of questions. How you met. What your relationship was like in the early days. The things that make your partner specifically them. What you love about each other that doesn't get said enough. What you're most looking forward to on the day.
I'm not looking for polished answers. I'm looking for the real stuff: the funny stories, the small details, the moments that only the two of you would think to mention. That's what makes a ceremony feel like it belongs to you.
The writing process
After the interview, I go away and write. Everything comes from what you've shared. No templates, nothing borrowed.
When the ceremony is ready, I share a draft with you. We go through it together, adjust anything that doesn't feel right, and refine it until it does. Most couples are surprised by how much it sounds like them.
The day itself
By the time your wedding arrives, you've heard the ceremony. You know what's coming, which means you can actually be present for it rather than wondering what happens next.
My job on the day is to deliver it with warmth and care, and to make sure the whole thing feels as easy and unhurried as it should.
