I was recently asked ‘why’ as a wedding officiant - I insist upon rehearsals and collaborating with any ceremony musicians or DJs, as well as photographers before a wedding ceremony.
When a wedding officiant works in tandem with the DJ and photographer, the day unfolds like a perfectly timed dance. Of course, there is rarely dancing during a ceremony, yet we rehearse, and I work diligently to choreograph the entrances and exit with the selected music.

DJs should be cued when to stop and start music for critical points in a ceremony; and Photographers rely on the officiant to pace the ceremony so they can capture key moments like the ring exchange, unity rituals, vows, and that first kiss as a married couple.

We share a timeline – and when these vendors are on the same page, these three at the least, delays are prevented, music is timed appropriately and picture-perfect moments are not missed.
A well-orchestrated ceremony means less stress for the couple so they can bask in every moment of a seamless and magical experience, as these memories will last a lifetime.

Well, I almost forgot to share, as it was our own anniversary a week ago. 32 years! Yeah Us, in Tucson.
