| Rehearsals are an important part of a ceremony, but not always needed. I will explain the differences. If you are going to have less than 6 bridal party members and are deciding not to do alot of extras (Cultural traditions, sands, candle, multiple readings, etc), by experience a rehearsal is not needed. We feel a staging is all that is needed. For a staging, bridal party members, the groom and whomever is walking the bride down the aisle (Bride need not be present if she is in hiding. She will be following the lead of everyone else) are required to be there an hour before to go over where everyone will stand when they come in, and where everyone will be walking in from. It will take no longer than 15 minutes. We will coordinate with your DJ or musicians on the music as well. We prefer to do rehearsals with the following situations. We understand some extenuating circumstances can exist and we can accommodate and discuss accordingly. Bridal party exceeds 6 people especially with children AND/OR You are incorporating the extras that the Customized package offers No matter what, we will work with you so that you are the most comfortable on your wedding day. Ask any questions if you are confused, but trust us to know what is best for your day. We will make sure you are happy with the whole process from start to finish. We will determine when booking your wedding what is recommended for your particular situation. Rehearsal Scheduling We all know this can be a chore. More and more couples are having out of town friends stand up in their wedding and they are not making it in town until the night of the rehearsal (the day before the wedding) or the day of the wedding. Here are some suggestions when deciding about the rehearsal. |
| Rehearsals vs. Stagings |
 | Schedule it for 7pm or later. Remember that your bridal party may have to work and may not be | |
| able to get out early. 6pm may also work, but it depends on location. |
| If at all possible, if having a Saturday wedding, schedule your rehearsal for Thursday. If Friday, | |
| schedule for Wednesday. You know you will be out late with a rehearsal dinner and just having fun and doing it the night before the wedding may provide for a bad nights sleep. |
| Try not to let the banquet hall or facility dictate to you when the rehearsal will be. Be up front | |
| from the beginning about it and tell them, I need to have this date for the rehearsal. If you run into problems, I can make an attempt to talk to them as well. |
| We understand that at times you will be at the facilities mercy and that's not a problem. 90% of | |
| the time YOU officiant will be the one conducting the rehearsal, however if another wedding is in conflict, one of the other officiants will conduct it and give a full report back to your officiant. |
| Know that if 1 or 2 people are going to be missing the day of the rehearsal, it's ok If you're | |
| having an exceptionally large bridal party, everyone can fill them in. We are there an hour early to go over what we talked about and to catch up anyone who was unable to make it to your rehearsal. |
