As the end of the year draws near, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to some of the people who made 2016 a wonderful year. First, thank you to all the couples I worked with this year. I truly appreciate you selecting me as your wedding celebrant, and opening your hearts and lives so we could create a wedding ceremony that reflected you and your story.
Next, thank you to all the other wonderful vendors I work with regularly. The the venue managers who so kindly refer me to couples seeking ceremony services and who work with the couple and me to ensure we have what we need at the facility. The DJs and musicians who set the tone before the ceremony even begins, and weave music through each ceremony. The photographers who work around the edges to capture the moments for the couples, but are respectful of the ceremony taking place. All these people come together to create a memorable ceremony experience for each couple.
I’d also like to thank my husband who accompanies me to weddings, and who all the couples meet. Rich provides technical support with sound systems and photography for my website, provides chauffeur service so I can practice ceremonies as we travel, and who moves all the heavy sound equipment to make sure all guests can hear the ceremony.
All of these people enable me to do this work of providing personalized, meaningful, secular ceremonies. I look forward to working with them all again in the new year, as well as meeting and working with a new set of couples, including those about to get engaged during the upcoming holidays. Thank you for the memories of 2016, and now it is on to 2017!
