The Other Elements

We all know that the wedding ceremony is only one part of your big day. You've hired tons of help, from DJ's to live musicians, photographers, and the event staff. Each of these people play a critical role in making your celebration happen and I am there to support them. Here's how!

Musicians/DJ's

It doesn't matter if you have a live musician playing as you walk down the aisle or if you plan to have a DJ that will play your processional and recessional music, Whoever will be performing needs to know what songs to play and when to play them! You might even have music somewhere else in the ceremony and the person in control of that should know exactly when they need to come in. In order to make that as smooth as possible for your musician or DJ, I provide a song list and information about when to play each song. If there are words that I say leading up to the song, the musician will know what I plan to say and EXACTLY when to play. This helps to make certain that there are no goof ups! Imagine your ceremony with your music played at the wrong time. I work hard to make sure this doesn't happen and that you get the ceremony you have been dreaming of!

Photographers

You've probably also hired someone to capture your big day on film (or digitally!) and they should know when great photo opportunities will arise in the ceremony. If you've given me a way to contact your photographer before the ceremony, I will create and send a sheet of times in the ceremony that would be ideal for pictures. Otherwise, the photographer will always get this sheet on the day of your wedding. Of course they will always take pictures of the processional, recessional, and the kiss, but what if you have many different rituals infused in the ceremony that they don't know about? I keep your photographer on the same page as you and I. They will know all of the great rituals that are coming up and where to stand to get the perfect shot for your wedding album!

Other Support STaff

If you're getting married at a wedding venue, there are sure to be people there to support you, especially when it comes to the processional. Too often brides and grooms have a picture in their minds of the order they want people walking down the aisle, only for the support staff at the venue to change it all around for the sake of "tradition." You might have been looking forward to having both your father and step-father walk you down the aisle together to be told that this doesn't happen and have to change it at the last minute. Maybe you've always dreamed of walking down the aisle together as a couple instead of having one person await the other at the front. Whatever your dream is for this, I make certain that it becomes a reality. I will always stand up for my couples to help them get the day of their dreams. We will set up the processional BEFORE I ever walk to the front of the crowd. This ensures that you will have the processional you want, no matter how nontraditional that might be!
