Your ceremony, unlike any your friends have ever seen, will make maximum use of choreography, imagery, dramatics and stage presence to render a ceremony that you, and they, have dreamed of. Using the best elements of traditional wedding ceremonies, it will avoid their shortcomings by maintaining a much more lively tempo of events and use of participants such as candle lighting, giving roses to VIP females, wine sharing, and readings from guests.

The ceremony will at all times be visually impressive and engaging as the audience will be treated to seeing you rather than staring at your backs and wondering.  And guests will applaud the novelty of your wedding, scoring you much higher for uniqueness and artistic expression rather than rigidly duplicating for them every wedding they've already seen.

Confident in your well designed and thoroughly rehearsed ceremony, my directorship during its performance will easily allow you to be calm, up-beat and at your best. That's why I take the lead in developing all aspects of the ceremony - helping musicians, photographers and videographers understand their opportunities as well. 

Put your heart into your wedding planning and swing for the fence.  Use the options, events and accessories I have described on this web site and genuinely impress your guests.  Elegance, style and class- together with a ceremony that tugged on their hearts- will make your wedding day unforgettable.
