Finding The Right San Diego Wedding Officiant

By Kevin Robinson


When you are planning a wedding, the last and most important thing to do after you have booked and sorted all the other nitty gritty will be to find an officiant. In the event you do not have a predetermined person, whether a pastor from your church or any religious leader of your faith for that matter, you might be required to look around for the relevant San Diego wedding officiant.

Marriage overseers you are considering should offer a free no-obligation meeting to talk about your ceremony. You should both be at the interview, and you should expect that it will take about an hour. Come prepared with questions. Confer with each other before the interview so you have common expectations about the ceremony you want. Here are some questions to ask a potential marriage overseer:

Are you legally qualified to perform a marriage in the location of the ceremony? How do you create my personalized ceremony? What is the process? What is your fee? What does it include... Or not include? What is in your contract? How much freedom does a couple have to do what they want in the ceremony? What interested you in doing this work? What do you like about being a marriage overseer? How long have you been doing this work?

Check if your personalities relate in one way or another because you do not want any awkward instances during the ceremony. If he at least has a mild sense of humor, it is a plus for your and for the invited. It will not hurt to incorporate some light moments in his work to enhance the mood of people. You never know, getting someone you relate with well might just be the precedence for a great friendship in the days to come post the wedding.

You can also search the web, there are many people who advertise their services there and happen to be genuine and good ai too. So do not let this avenue to find the right person slip you without having a go at it. Once you have decided who you want after doing all this, arrange for a meet up with the person at a convenient venue and record on paper whatever the two of you will discuss.

Your thoughts on marriage vows - write your own or do something traditional, how long you want the ceremony to last. Any considerations you want to make regarding parents' expectations. Any ethnic or religious traditions you want to include in the ceremony, Ideas from other marriage ceremonies that you like

The agreement. As you finalize on your choice, a written agreement mutually reached by you and your officiant is necessary to avoid any future inconveniences. This is also to ensure that both parties stick to the responsibilities and see them to the latter to ensure a smooth ceremony and more importantly a lasting relationship even after the ceremony

If you liked how the interview went and you want to hire the overseer, ask what the next steps are. It will probably be signing a contract and making a deposit to reserve your date on your overseer's calendar. Ask for a timeline of the overseer's ceremony preparation activities. If you decide to hire an overseer, do take the time to let any other overseers that you interviewed know that you selected someone else. It is helpful for an officiant to know you made a decision. A brief email is fine! You would be amazed how many people do not follow through with that courtesy
