We compose ceremony guide notes, vows, speeches or dedications, in prose or in verse; we select poems, songs or other readings that are appropriate for any moment; and if talking in public is not your thing, we also preside civil ceremonies.

Ceremony Officiants

As officiants we offer the coordination of one of the most special moments of the celebration. We combine the personalized script with the music, include the participants and harmonize everything to make it fit within the general atmosphere of the venue. The sweet tone of our voices and our dedication, together with the personal content of the script, will move everybody in the room.

Civil Wedding Ceremony Notes

As opposed to religious ceremonies, the civil ones are less formal and the guide notes to follow can be perfectly customized, especially, if the officiant is a professional master of ceremonies, a friend or a family member. In the last cases, it is possible that the person who is responsible for leading the ceremony feels lost during the writing process. So, that is why we offer the complete composition of unique and customized guide notes for all couples.

We can also help you including different rituals, such as the light ceremony –also known as the one with the candles-, or the rose, tie or sand ceremony; and search for customs of other cultures or even invent new practices. Whatever you want! And do not forget that the selection of music, readings and poems or the intervention of family and friends make your ceremony more personal!

Religious Wedding Ceremony Notes
