- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always include your names. The time your wedding starts, date, and the venue. Include the town and state you are to be married in, and it helps to know what town and state you live in. You should ask to see the ministers credentials and include your phone number in case there is a problem with email addresses or power outages due an unexpected storm. To avoid problems with your license it is always best to ask at the county clerks office how you should sign your final name. Some counties want you to sign your maiden name and some counties want you to sign your married name.
