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. To write them, we base the lines on your own history and we take into account the wedding style. In form of a letter, story, movie or TV show, it is up to you! 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
Religious ceremonies, in this case the catholic ones, are characterized by the rigidity of its form and contents, especially if, besides the sacrament, it comprises a mass. However, it is possible to select your own readings and the parish priest will certainly be delighted if you participate in the ceremony with your personal choice of Bible passages. In the same way, in some churches, they allow the intervention of friends and family with emotional speeches Would you like us to help you to make your wedding a bit more different than others?
Wedding vows
The marriage vows are an essential element of a wedding, civil or religious.
