Ughhhhh. What a fun time it is to plan a wedding right now, hey?
Firstly: well done to you, troopers. The resilience and grace shown by all of my Covid-impacted couples has been astounding. You are magnificent.
Secondly: what now? Let's talk through a couple of options.
As you might've seen when you booked me, I usually offer either a 'Vegas Style' package or a 'Full Works' package, with the former being a quick, legals only ceremony (takes 5 minutes or less) and the latter being the whole wedding she-bang. But with all the messy plans right now, I realised I needed more options, offered only to my pre-existing couples.
The Backyard Ceremony
(Note: it does not have to be in a backyard!! It's a vibe, not a location.)
This ceremony is for the couples who still want to get married on a particular date, and downsize their wedding to just a few family members and friends. It'll be about ten minutes, it'll have a bit of your story in it, and it will be fun, intimate, flexible, and most importantly: a legal commitment! You can include music, a reading or two, personal vows, I Do's, champagne... I'll have a streamlined, mini-version of what you wanted for your full ceremony. And of course, you can livestream it to anyone you want, but I'll leave it to you to organise it. We'll organise the whole ceremony in a video meeting (or face-to-face if we haven't signed your Notice of Intended Marriage yet), and we won't need a rehearsal.
Cost: $950 + travel (if applicable).
And then, if you want it...
The Wedding 2.0
(Only for those who have first had a Backyard Ceremony with me. If you only want the Wedding 2.0 option, then it's just our original Full Works package, as I'd be creating the script from scratch.)
If you want to do the full ceremony down the track with all your guests (paaaaarty!), then I can work the backyard script into a longer, grander script, and we'll call it your Wedding 2.0. It'll cost the same amount again, and I'll chat to you about what we can add to make it appropriate for a full-size ceremony. Obviously, for this 'second' wedding, you will already be legally married, and I won't be able to lie about that - but we can still do vows, I Do's, exchange rings, and all the best wedding jazz, without the legal words. Your guests will get to see you re-live the best moments (and some new ones) from your backyard ceremony in the style that you had originally planned. We can do a wedding rehearsal if you need one, either at the venue (which may incur a travel fee), or anywhere convenient.
Cost: $950 + travel (if applicable).
(In addition to the Backyard Ceremony fee)
Meetings:
For both of these options, we'll meet up for a wine/coffee/chat when we need to, but most of my work is done behind the scenes: at the computer, inventing a great script for your needs. If we already sat down and planned your ceremony before Covid changed your plans, I'll probably have most of the info that I need already. We'll have the occasional video chat when I've just got a couple of questions, and I'm always available for a chat when you've got queries or concerns - but I promise you won't be bombarded with extra meetings. Ain't nobody got time for that!
