The Ceremony

Traditional Church Weddings

The choice of a church is usually based on a religious belief of either the bride or groom,

or both.  Many couples usually choose to me married in the church they are currently attending or in  the
church either family may have attended for years.

Couples desiring a religious ceremony without a particular church in mind, must try to
find a church that will marry non-members or begin a relationship with a particular church or clergy member.

Home Weddings

Having a home wedding offers the couple and their guest intimacy, comfort, and a familiar
setting for family and friends.  Using your imagination you can create a casual setting to a backyard gala
or even an elegant formal affair with the help of a caterer, decorator, rental company and other wedding professionals.

Outdoor Weddings
A beautiful wedding can be held almost anywhere (by obtaining permission first).
If you are considering a site that does not have a shelter, you can always contact a rental company
to rent tents and other shelters.


Officiants
Ceremony officiants range from those dedicated to a particular religion or church, to civil servants that will perform a ceremony
strictly based on law without any religious content. For those wanting to include religion in a non-sectarian sense, ceremony
officiants exist who can fulfill those needs. These reverends and other clergypersons will help couples by performing
ceremonies that will include a general religious message without referencing any specific religion. Often these officiants
will go to unique sites to perform a ceremony or may have connections with a particular church where they can also perform
 the ceremony if the couple desires.
