Booking Your Ceremony

At this point, you probably have a good idea, or have already confirmed where your ceremony is going to be. Here are some good questions to consider when you are looking to book your ceremony location. • Does the church / synagogue have any special rules or traditions that you should know about? Can you write your vows / personalize your ceremony? • What will be the time limitations on your wedding day?

Is there a rest area where other members of your party can relax should there be some unforeseen delay? • Who will be your musician?
