Heartland Signature Ceremonies

Nowadays I find many couples seeking an alternative to the traditional religious ceremony. Maybe they don't adhere to any specific religion but are spiritually minded couples who want more than just a civil ceremony. When a couple decides to create their own ceremony outside the standard civil or religious norm, they have the opportunity of giving it their very own signature, making it a true reflection of their personal beliefs and values. This definitly has it's benefits.Creating your own ceremony can be a journey that helps you to clarify your feelings and prepare for the mergance of two lives in friendship and love, compassion and forgiveness. In essence, it gives you as a couple a chance to create more than a wedding ceremony, it lays a beautiful foundation for the actual union of marriage.

Personalizing a wedding ceremony affords you the opportunity to plan and work together. Both the bride and groom are equally important in the equation even though many grooms in general relinquish the details to the bride, thinking it's all up to her. Instead, planning your ceremony together can be a sacred and meaningful journey in itself. It will give you both the experience of expressing your preferences and representing yourselves in order to make the ceremony a true reflection of who you are individually and as a couple.

You may not know how to actually get started and that is where I come in. Remember, this is your wedding and you are ultimately the one in charge. You need to be able to work with an officiant that cares about what you want and will provide guidance and help in the design and development of the ceremony. This begins by contacting me to set up an initial consultation, which can be held in person, via email, in a chat conference or by telephone. This allows us to get comfortable with one another and provides opportunity for discovering and discussing your personal style and approach to life, and therefore identifying your needs, desires and circumstances. This is where I gather details and provide you with a basic outline of ceremony protocol and meaningful options to take into consideration. And although I am hoping at this point you will retain my services, this initial consultation is always free and without obligation. You will simply be asked to email or phone me with your decision.

Your wedding is a celebration of your marriage and your beliefs. It is a reflection of who you are and what you value. It is your opportunity to build a foundation for your marriage through a public declaration of the power of love in your lives.  It is my wish that it becomes not only a process of discovery but a journey towards a wonderful, lifelong union.
