Introduction: No longer doing business on Thumbtack. If interested, I am on Facebook, WeddingWire and The Knot websites. Thank you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Recipient of TheKnot.com "Best of Weddings" award 2018 as well as the WeddingWire "Couples Choice Award" 2016 & 2017. Rated #1 Wedding Officiant in Orlando since 2015 on Thumbtack.com I enjoy spending time getting to know couples, and their familes, then being a part of one of the most special days of their lives. I love that there are no two weddings alike. Each unique and special no matter how grand or intimate. From a 'just the 2 of us' elopement to a formal ceremony with bridal party and processional/recessional, if you would like a nice, relaxed, memorable wedding ceremony, then I am the perfect Officiant for you. Let Ceremonies by Catherine make your wedding day special, memorable and unique! THE OFFICIATING PROCESS: CONSULTATION: Before your big day we will work together to create the perfect personalized, custom script for your ceremony. Consultations are always free and can be done in-person, over the phone or through email. UNLIMITED SCRIPT EDITS AND ADDITIONS: With unlimited script edits and unity ceremony additions the possibilities are endless! My past ceremonies average 15-20 minutes but you choose the script length and have final approval of the ceremony script. WEDDING DAY: I will arrive early to the ceremony venue to meet with your coordinator, DJ, videographer and photographer and answer any questions as well as set up any items needed for the ceremony. MICROPHONE AND MUSIC: If you do not have a sound set up at the ceremony site I have a wireless bluetooth P.A. speaker with microphone we can use. It is always travel with this with me in case of emergency. FILING THE MARRIAGE LICENSE: After the ceremony is performed and the license is signed and notarized, I will file your marriage license with the County Clerks office and you will receive your paperwork from the state up to 10 days later. Elopement services begin at $110.00 and Officiating services begin at $160.00 plus an additional $75.00 to attend and/or manage your rehearsal. Please contact me for a proper custom quote. WEDDING COORDINATION: Month-of a.k.a. Day-of Coordination is for the couple who have chosen their venue and vendors and have planned the details of the wedding ceremony and reception and need a professional to come in and manage every aspect of the wedding day. From the guest book to catering to cleaning up at the end of your event, all the major and minor details. Hiring a coordinator is an investment to help make your wedding day relaxing and stress-free; the best day of your life. I offer different types of coordination packages based on the level of service needed for your wedding: Day-of coordination only (no vendor management and no setup) Day-of coordination with setup (no vendor management) Day-of coordination with vendor management (no setup) Day-of coordination with vendor management and setup All coordination options come with the following services: Initial in-person consultation meeting Follow up meeting 3-4 weeks before your wedding day Unlimited phone and email discussions Venue tour to discuss event layout details Vendor referrals Creation of ceremony and reception timeline Managing timeline on your wedding Coordinating the rehearsal Lining up bridal party for walk down the aisle Assistance in finding last minute vendors and 'small things' items (guest book, favors, ring pillow, flower basket, grand exit options, etc) Packing up at the end of the reception; decor, gifts, cards, guest book, left over food and drink, etc. Use of my bluetooth P.A. speaker with microphone Coordination packages starting at $500.00 - please contact me for a proper custom quote dependent on the level of service your wedding day requires.

I am located nearby in Sanford and would absolutely love to come over and make your day special and memorable by officiating your ceremony. Because ceremonies can be so pricey, and I do truly enjoy officiating, I keep my service cost low and never charge extra for 'travel fees'. (The price I quote always takes travel time into consideration.) Hiring an officiant should not cost you hundreds of dollars. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day!
