I find that most brides want to start with a statement that sounds something like this: "Please send me your packages and fees. Email contact is preferred..."
And it's a perfectly good question to ask. And most officiants are happy to give to you their instant answer. Everybody is busy, and we think: "Let's get this checked off my list!" Right?
Unfortunately, when you receive whatever information you get from that other officiant, understand that you are being given the exact same sales pitch that they are giving to every other bride and groom.
I don't work like that. I tried. It's just not me...
You have probably contacted A Joyful Celebration! Weddings Because We are not the same as everybody else - or because You feel that YOU are not the same as everybody else...
So, we do not start with "packages." We are creating your wedding celebration for you, and only you. This makes it impossible for me to give you "a quote" or even "a package" without getting to know you a bit, and hearing about your own ideas for your wedding.
Don't know what your ideas are yet? It will be my pleasure to help you discover them. But I will have to ask you a few questions first.
Then I will be happy to recommend the services that we feel will help you create the wedding you are imagining for yourselves. And you will also know what your investment will be for this custom piece.
Don't be fooled into thinking
that an INSTANT answer from an officiant is the BEST answer when it comes to planning your Wedding!
Take your time.
You and your Wedding are Worth
careful planning and consideration.
I look forward to getting to know you, and seeing how we might help. And remember, you can always follow me by clicking on the Facebook and RSS feeds on the right.
Sincerely,
Rev. Sherry
