Each ceremony is written and performed to suit your individual tastes as a couple. You make the rest of the wedding uniquely yours, why not the ceremony?

Traditional Religious Ceremony
A traditional religious ceremony is taken from a specific faith. We use a lot
of the religious elements, traditions and rituals that are practiced by that
religion.

Spiritual Non-Denominational Ceremony
This is a modern and very personal ceremony that is created by it's
participants. It can have many different elements incorporated into it,
inspirational music, poetry, readings and it is a very intimate ceremony. This
ceremony really celebrates the couple's love for each other and incorporates
into each individual element in the ceremony.

Interfaith Ceremony
The Interfaith Ceremony is similar to the Traditional Religious ceremony
except it is two different faiths incorporated into one ceremony. This
ceremony uniquely blends the rituals and elements of each religion so they
make a beautiful union like the bride and groom.

Civil/Secular Non-Religious
This ceremony has no religious texts or scriptures. The couple can request the
standard vows or create their own unique vows.

Culturally Specific Ceremony
The culturally specific ceremony is a blend of a traditional or civil ceremony
but incorporates elements, traditions and rituals that are usually performed
within that culture. You can mix more then one culture. These ceremonies
are great ways to celebrate your love and your culture together as man and
wife. If you are not sure about some culture traditions, just ask! I would be
happy to help you with it.
