WHAT? WHY YOU?

Apples to Oranges...

When comparing Wedding Officiants and pricing, consider the following:

Not all wedding officiants are full-time, professional wedding officiants.
Not all wedding officiants know that your ceremony is the reason for the day and that many couples regret choosing the wrong officiant the minute they walk down the aisle.
Not all wedding officiants take the time to meet with you to create a personal, customized ceremony. There are a lot of multiple choice "wedding books" out there!
Not all wedding officiants went to ministerial school. There are a lot of "universal" ministers with a speedy ordination.
Not all wedding officiants plan all of the details for your ceremony, including Processional Order, standing diagrams, and more.
Not all officiants take the time to know you--really know you--and ask about spiritual/religious backgrounds, family, family dynamics, your wedding party and...well you get the picture.
Not all officiants have a comfortable and friendly office space for personal face-to-face meetings.
Not all officiants plan with detail, checking and double-checking the details of your wedding, and pleasantly surprise planners, venue reps, and other wedding professionals with a comprehensive and thorough understanding of who you are and how your ceremony will (beautifully) unfold.
Not all wedding officiants are great public speakers, well-versed in many spiritual and secular traditions, and are aware of the latest ceremony trends and "outside the box" components.
Not all officiants include a full rehearsal, ceremony revisions, personal vow guidance, fun pre-marital discovery sessions, or fast and easy accessibility.
Not all officiants will bring the right mix of tradition, contemporary elements, and levity to your ceremony.
Not all officiants book at the same price point and not all officiants offer the same quality and professionalism.

I am not like most officiants, but I am all of these and more! Only ONE officiant has won Best of the Knot every year he has been a professional wedding officiant in Greater Cincinnati.
