For many couples, a traditional wedding ceremony is a way to honor family tradition. A traditional ceremony can provide an opportunity to pay homage to cultural or religious heritage and to carry on traditions from previous generations Or even to start new ones. 

VOW RENEWAL CEREMONY: Is a ceremony of celebration and recommitment where a married couple reaffirms their marriage vows to each other. Because this isn't a legally binding ceremony, the way that a wedding ceremony is, there really aren't any hard-and-fast rules about how to renew your vows—the sky is the limit!

Micro Ceremony or Civil Ceremony

MICRO CEREMONY is small with up to 10 guests.  They are performed similarly to a larger wedding, just smaller. The biggest benefit of a micro ceremony is the reduced wedding costs. The smaller scope of the event, particularly in terms of guest count.  It also lends itself to greater intimacy and a more meaningful experience with guests. Most often, the ceremony is quick and more casual and the reception is relaxed, should the couple choose to host one at all.

CIVIL CEREMONY: Sometimes you just want to say "I do." Skip the fuss with a "Sign and GO" marriage ceremony.  This type of ceremony can sometimes be referred to as a "civil ceremony" or a "simple signing" ceremony. Civil Wedding Ceremonies are non-religious, legal marriage ceremony presided over by an authorized official instead of a religious one.

Coordination & Day of Management Assistant

COORDINATION MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT: We support couples and their families with the organization, hiring, purchasing and management involved with planning a successful wedding. Our Wedding Coordination Management service is perfect for the couple who enjoys and are excited to plan their special day but need professional help along the way.   Our wedding Coordination Management Assistant ensures peace of mind that your wedding is on track throughout the entire planning process (rather than just the month before). 

DAY OF COORDINATION MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT: Your main focus is elsewhere. While this is an exciting time, the details are important and you have an idea of what you want, you need an expert planning partner so this can be an enjoyable process, not a second job.  You don’t have time to second guess either so you need someone you can trust who has the relationships and expertise to get it right. We will customize your proposal so we can ensure you get just what you need for your wedding.

Reviews

We absolutely loved working with Joanna. She was very responsive, kind and made sure to incorporate important aspects of our interfaith family in our son's baptism. 💙

Xiomara M., Hampton, Georgia

I am so very happy to have met Miss Joanna there was a slight mix up with our location… due to Facebook sponsored information. Communication was truly amazing. I would highly recommend her anybody getting married.

Jennifer M., Aynor, SC

We were absolutely delighted with Minister Sherrod as our christening officiant. From the very beginning, she were warm, professional, and accommodating. She took the time to understand our wishes and created a beautiful, personalized ceremony that perfectly captured the significance of the day. Her calm and reassuring presence made everyone feel at ease, and her eloquent words left a lasting impression on all our guests. We couldn't have asked for a more meaningful and heartfelt christening service. Highly recommended!
