What do you typically wear for the ceremony?
Hersey: I have several suits that I wear and can coordinate with you on the color or if you have a theme, I am happy to wear whatever we agree will be most appropriate.
Lisa: I will usually wear a dress or possibly dress pants and a blouse and of course and coordinate if you have particular look or pallet in mind
How long does the ceremony typically last?
Each ceremony is as diverse as each couple. However, a good rule of thumb is to plan for approximately 20-30 minutes, depending upon the number of readings, rituals and vows that we have created together.
What material do you make available to help you create your ceremony?
Using information gathered from your questionnaire as well as our meetings, I will help you craft your ceremony by offering examples of other ceremonies, readings, quotes and walk you through the process, from start to finish. Our library also includes the most popular songs!
I would like to write my own vows but don’t know where to start. Can you help me?
We will work with you and your partner to create the perfect ceremony for your big day. We can help you with formats, readings, where to include music and special rituals or ideas you would like. It is our honor to be a part of your special day and look forward to sharing your vows with your family and friends.
Are you comfortable with adding religious elements or readings?
We are both ordained through the Universal Life Church and our desire is to help you create and write the ceremony you have dreamt of – no matter the content or religious background.
Do you perform Gay, Non-Traditional or LGBTQ Ceremonies?
ABSOLUTELY! We are all inclusive. Period! We proudly celebrate with the LGBTQ family and welcome you with open arms.
Do you perform special rituals like ‘hand fasting’ or ‘lighting a unity candle’?
Of course! We will work with you to create a ceremony that celebrates you and your partner. Whether whimsical, romantic, humorous or religious, all rituals will be planned with you and carried out exactly according to your wishes.
How many weddings have you celebrated?
To date, we have performed 17 official weddings, mainly in the United States but we are looking forward to starting to help couples realize their wedding dreams here in Italy.
