Getting to Know You- Lead up to the Ceremony

After you've chosen to work with me, we will meet a minimum of three times. Our first meeting is for you to share the story of your love: who you are and how you found one another. I will learn about your families, your commitments as individuals and as a couple, and about your faith. And I will learn about your vision for the ceremony of your dreams. Our second meeting focuses on the details of the ceremony itself. We review the basic structure of a Jewish ceremony, further explore your vision, and work together to construct a format that satisfies your needs and desires. If it is an interfaith wedding, we fashion a plan that celebrates you or your partner's religious faith and/or family-specific traditions. Our final meeting takes place at the wedding site itself and will most likely coincide with your dress rehearsal. We review the details of the ceremony, of course, and I will support you in relaxing. Throughout the process, we communicate by phone or e-mail to review details and for you to express any concerns. My pleasure!
