- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initial consultation where I can learn more about your vision of the ceremony and hear about your love story so I can include it in the wedding script. After you decide to hire me, I will write a personalized script for your ceremony and send it to you for approval and/or edit. I also ask you to fill out the information page of the contract, so that I know where and when I have to be for the ceremony. You would need to send the contract and the deposit back to me via PayPal or a check in the mail. I will be available for any question or concern that you might have by phone, email or text prior to the ceremony and after.
