4. Are there additional fees for travel or attending rehearsals?
Travel fees may apply for ceremonies outside of the Louisville, Kentucky, area. Complimentary travel is included up to 45 minutes (20 miles) from Jeffersonville, IN. For travel beyond 30 minutes, a fee of $50 applies for up to 45 minutes of travel. Attendance at rehearsals is included in the All-Inclusive Wedding Package (Wedding Day + Rehearsal). For other packages, rehearsal attendance can be arranged for an additional fee.
5. Can we customize our wedding ceremony?
Absolutely! Your wedding ceremony should reflect your unique relationship. We will collaborate to incorporate your personal stories, preferred rituals, and any cultural or religious elements that hold significance for you. Unlimited edits are included to perfect every word of your ceremony.
6. Why should we hire a professional officiant instead of having a friend or family member officiate?
Hiring a professional officiant ensures that your ceremony is conducted smoothly, legally, and with the utmost professionalism. A professional brings experience in public speaking, ceremony planning, and legal expertise, which can reduce stress and allow you and your guests to fully enjoy the moment. While having a loved one officiate may feel personal, it can sometimes lead to unexpected challenges.
7. How far in advance should we book your services?
It’s advisable to book officiant services as early as possible, ideally six to twelve months in advance, particularly for popular wedding dates during peak seasons. This ensures availability and allows sufficient time for personalized ceremony planning.
8. Will you help us with our vows?
Yes. We provide guidance, outlines, and inspiration to help you write vows that are heartfelt and authentic to your relationship. Whether you're looking for traditional or completely custom vows, we are here to assist you in finding the right words.
9. How do you handle the legal aspects of our marriage?
We make sure all legal steps are completed correctly and submit your marriage license to the appropriate office promptly after the ceremony. In Kentucky, two witnesses are required, while in Indiana, no witnesses are necessary, which simplifies the process.
10. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Our service agreement details all policies regarding cancellations and rescheduling, including any applicable fees. We understand that plans can change and are happy to discuss your options at any time.
11. Can we meet in person before the ceremony?
We offer virtual consultations currently. Many couples find our virtual planning process convenient and flexible.
12. Can we include cultural or religious elements in the ceremony?
Yes. We are happy to incorporate meaningful traditions, scriptures, or symbolic rituals that reflect your heritage or beliefs.
13. Do you offer bilingual or dual-language ceremonies?
Currently, we offer ceremonies in English only. However, we are happy to work with interpreters or translators to make your ceremony inclusive for all guests.
