Hiring the right Nashville wedding officiant is important.

Why are we bringing this up?

In addition to wedding planning, we also offer officiating and we feel it is important to focus specifically on the couples who truly value their wedding ceremony when we are officiating…the entire reason for us gathering together on your special day is your actual wedding ceremony, after all, so be sure you hire the right Nashville wedding officiant for your special day.

Does guest count matter?

We often hear things like, “we are having a smaller wedding with only 30 guests.” Doesn’t matter one single iota. It will still require the same amount of work regardless of whether you have 30 guests or 300 guests. Our Nashville wedding officiant will still spend countless hours working with you to create the perfect, unique ceremony written to specifically reflect your personal love story.

What about my budget?

Or we will hear “Oh, but our budget is only XX” after receiving the pricing for our officiating packages. We understand that not everyone will want to pay what our Nashville wedding officiant is charging and we are happy to recommend other wedding officiants, but keep in mind that quality vendors aren’t going to sacrifice their hard earned fee to accommodate you…especially when they will still be putting in the same amount of effort and hours to produce the level of quality they have become known for.

“Do you ever do deals for exposure?”

No. We have found that exposure does not pay the bills. We also find that people who suggest this type of collaboration aren’t the type of people our Nashville wedding officiant prefers to collaborate with.

“My friend’s was an officiant was only $XX”

Hmmmm….what can we (politely) say? Perhaps get their name and lock them down then?! If you are aware of an extraordinary talent who charges peanuts then why contact us?

Keeping in mind the costs.

Keep in mind that vendors who provide a service instead of a product still have to put in the same about of work regardless of the number of attendees. The vendors and the service or product that they offer and the impact they have, not only on the wedding day, but during the lengthly lead up is vitally important to how much stress you will have to endure before you actually walk down the aisle.

Choose wisely.

Couples who choose wisely and value their vendors will have the best experience. Your vendor team, (especially your wedding planner and officiant) have an enormous influence over your entire experience. We have heard so many stories…many were not positive ones. It is disappointing, but you do get what you pay for.

Share your experiences!

All that said, if your experience was epic because of a legendary vendor team, please be sure to give them a shout out on your social media and definitely leave them an amazing five star review.
