Decisions best made before the rehearsal are:

  • Will grandparents and/or parents enter ceremonially? Will there be ushers?
  • Who is in the wedding party?  Who will carry the rings?
  • How many seats need to be set aside for family?  Are thet clearly marked? 
  • Where will the musicians be located and how will they be cued?
  • How will the wedding party enter and in what order?
  • What ‘props’ (like wine or candles) are needed during the ceremony?  Who will bring them?
  • Does the officiant need a microphone to be heard over ambient noise?
  • For outside weddings, where will the sun be during the time of the wedding?
  • If there is a videographer, where will the camera be placed?
  • Will there be a receiving line after the ceremony?
  • When will photographs be taken?
  • In a legalized marriage ceremony, who will the legal witnesses be?

And -  we can accommodate last minute changes!
I recommend rehearsals for ceremonies with children, many participants, lots of logistical elements, outdoor settings, or simply if you want the peace of mind!

In the rehearsal, I guide the process, and
  defer in all decisions to you! 

 
  The ceremony is a ritual, not a performance. 
                 It is real, vital and alive.   
  We rehearse to leave performance fears behind.
