If you're planning on having a friend or family member be your officiant, it's very likely they don't have the skills and/or time to write an 8-10 minute narrative of your love story that flows beautifully and gets into all of the details. What commonly occurs is that they will go online, cobble together a ceremony from generic scripts found on the internet or on Chat GPT, and it will be what everyone has heard before.
In contrast, we write highly personalized wedding ceremonies that keep things fun, light, and full of love. By talking to the couple getting married, and interviewing them both together and separately, we make sure the little details that matter are part of the story – and make sure the the audience is both moved and entertained.
We also help your officiant rehearse it, so that they can nail the performance.

Here's the reality: Your friend or family member may not truly know how to do this. They may not know what questions to ask to write a funny and sweet 8-10 minute narrative of your love story. Or they may be super busy - and/or may not like public speaking, nd this could be causing a lot of anxiety for them.
Our role is to make it easy for them AND make sure that the ceremony is everything you're hoping it will be.
To do this - we interview both of the couple individually as well as the friend or family member officiating.
A la carte - for the full package - we charge $1,950 - which includes the interview, unlimited revisions, and three delivery coaching sessions. However, if you're already pretty far along into the process , it may be less. Reach out, and let us have a look at it, and we're happy to give you a custom quote.
NO! In fact, it's the opposite. Through the interview we do, we wind up getting thoughts, feelings, and stories that many don't remember to think about on their own. These are specific to your relationship, and make it feel more personalized, more intimate, and more connected.
We don't use AI in our writing - ever - and here's why:
Chat GPT & other programs try to guess what works based on what it's consumed, but the reality is that AI doesn't actually have feelings. It doesn't know what's funny, or what's sweet,or romantic. It can't tell you what not to say - what might be slightly offensive or could be misconstrued. Most importantly, it doesn't sound original: Astute listeners/readers will see those little things that scream AI.... and then know you're the person who used it.
These are human moments that should be written by humans.
We'll respect your request for confidentiality (though there's no shame in getting help to make sure the ceremony is truly perfect).
If you've already interviewed them, we'll review what you have to see if you need to ask more questions. If you haven't, we'll give you some guidance to help you get what's essential out of the couple so we can write something that is great.
Yes, absolutely. We do many of them — interfaith, multicultural, spiritual-but-not-religious, fully secular, and everything in between. We honor the traditions that matter to each of you and weave them together so the ceremony feels like one story, not two halves stitched together.
NO! In fact, it's the opposite. Through the interview we do, we wind up getting thoughts, feelings, and stories that many don't remember to think about on their own. These are specific to your relationship, and make it feel more personalized, more intimate, and more connected.
We'll incorporate anything you'd like - and we've even come up with some fun, unorthodox ways to approach it. We've created the "Ancient Fireball Unity Shot" ritual, quoted the great philosopher "Huey Lewis", and found other new and unique ways to bring little details from the couple's lives into the mix. Let's have fun with it!

We received multiple compliments after the wedding,
praising the ceremony as the most personal and touching service our guests had ever attended.”
