Let’s Get Started!
Here is how we will work together:
To begin, please call me: (607) 279-1157, or email: Beecken.of.Light@gmail.com
to confirm my availability for your date and to set a time for your free consultation.
• Your initial consultation will be offered via the Zoom platform. Following that, our planning session(s) may be in person at my home in Elmira Heights, at a nearby café, or via Zoom at your choosing.
First, I will send an initial questionnaire to you and your partner so I can become familiar with your needs, your ideas for your wedding, and your thoughts on marriage.
During your free consultation via Zoom, we will get to know each other and discuss ideas for creating a meaningful, unique ceremony that reflects your relationship. After this, you and your partner can decide if my services mesh with your vision. If so, we will go over our contract and I will send it out to you. Once your signed contract is received, either in person or via email, we will schedule our ceremony planning date(s).
At our first meeting, we will discuss what elements you definitely want to include in your wedding ceremony (unity rituals, vows, music, and more), and maybe add something you hadn’t thought of! After this meeting, I’ll write a draft of your ceremony and will send it to you, via email, for your review. After reviewing your ceremony, you may schedule one additional planning session if you feel you’d like to refine it further. What’s most important is that you have a ceremony you cherish and that reflects your special relationship.
I will attend a rehearsal, should one be required.
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive 45 minutes – 1 hour ahead of time to meet the other wedding professionals, touch base with you, and make sure that everyone and everything is ready for your ceremony.
You will have the wedding ceremony that honors your special relationship and brings you joy as you reflect upon it all through your marriage!
