Here are the top 10 questions you should ask your wedding officiant:
- What makes you different from other wedding officiants?
- Will you just be reading from your notes or will you connect to us as a couple?
- How will you make us feel that you are talking TO US and not just performing a ceremony?
- How do you handle possible mishaps if they should arise?
- Do you have the relational skills to make everyone in the wedding party feel appreciated and special?
- Can we meet with you beforehand for a pre-wedding consult to make sure we feel comfortable with what will be happening?
- How can I make sure my vision for the ceremony will actually happen?
- I would like to work closely with you, are you accessible or hard to get a hold of?
- Can you work with our preferences when it comes to our choices on religious expression, vows and other components of the ceremony?
- This is the biggest day of my life so far, how can I make sure you are reliable?
