Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! To ensure your wedding ceremony is personalized, memorable, and stress-free, I have outlined the easy steps I take to serve as your wedding officiant. I am based in Atlanta, Georgia and perform weddings throughout Georgia and will happily travel for destination weddings.
Work with Reverend Ross, Wedding Officiant
- Check Availability
Reach out to me to check if I am available on your wedding date. This is the first step in ensuring that I am available to officiate your wedding day.
- Complimentary Consultation
If I’m available, we’ll schedule a complimentary call. I prefer to do this via Zoom so we can all see each other and get a vibe for working together. This is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss your vision for the ceremony, and review any initial questions you may have.
- Discuss Your Vision
During our call, we’ll discuss your vision and preferences for your ceremony. Whether you envision a traditional ceremony, something modern, or a blend of both, this conversation helps set the foundation for a ceremony that truly reflects your unique love story.
- Agree to Work Together
If we decide to move forward, I will send you a small partner agreement to secure the date and a Quickbooks invoice to secure the deposit. This agreement ensures that your date is reserved and confirms the terms of our collaboration.
- Ceremony Planning
Now, the fun part! It’s time to begin crafting your custom ceremony. This process includes:
- Kick-off Meeting: We can meet in person (if you are in Atlanta) or via Zoom to kick off the planning.
- You will receive a fun questionnaire after the call.
- I research any wedding requirements (states vary with paperwork required, I handle all that un-fun stuff for you)
- Questions are returned to me (I loooove reading them!)
- Ceremony Writing: The BEST part! I get to work to start creating your custom ceremony, incorporating your ideas, love story and preferences.
- I send you the draft to review
- Revisions: We can connect again and make any necessary revisions to ensure it’s perfect. Some couples don’t have time and make teeny edits to the ceremony and we go from there.
- Wedding Day!
On your wedding day, I'll officiate your ceremony, bringing all our planning to life. I will ensure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
- Paperwork
After the ceremony, I’ll handle all the necessary paperwork, making sure everything is correctly filed and official.
- Costs
The cost of my services varies depending on the complexity of the ceremony, whether there are rehearsals, travel requirements, and other factors. We will discuss all details during our initial call, ensuring there are no surprises.
Let's Get Started!
