It's Your Wedding!

And you deserve a perfect day.  You deserve to have the wedding day you've always dreamed of having.  Unfortunately, the words used for the nuptials - the wedding ceremony service itself, are  sometimes left to the bottom of the planning list when there are so many other details to attend to.  And yet, those words will resonate in your  minds forever after.  Your ceremony will be the highlight of your day, the memory that stays with you over the years. The words spoken at your wedding service will become the contract of the heart that reminds you why you chose to commit to one another.

Rev. Radloff writes and performs all types of non-judgmental wedding ceremonies; civil/secular, religious (of any faith, non-denominational, inter-faith), ethnic, humanist, pagan or themed (such as Renaissance/Medieval, country-western, etc.) at the location of your choice.

The Wedding Ceremony

The overall presentation of the ceremony experience can determine whether or not those special words will translate to what you want them to mean.  The "staging" of who moves where, when, and how the words are delivered are as important as the words themselves.  Elaine can plan, stage and direct, as well as, officiate your ceremony.  She will use her theatrical background and expertise to help you orchestrate the perfect ceremony to match the nuptial wording in style and grace.

Careful Wedding Planning

By doing exclusive and careful research in her preparations, Elaine can provide you with an exquisitely crafted ceremony script.  She can add special marriage rites such as hand-fasting or a gift-of-roses ritual. Also prayers and customs related to specific religions can be incorporated, as you desire. Elaine will also produce personalized printed wedding service programs, and she can advise you about other celebratory items, such as a unity candle or family medallion, that you might like to use to enhance your wedding service.
