The Copper Wedding is suitable for Micro-Weddings involving about twenty or fewer people. This package also works well for planning ceremonies from two to three weeks after signing the agreement. Planning begins with a questionnaire and ends a day or two before your wedding with a final walk-through over Zoom.
Your step-by-step plan includes:
- At least one consultation before your wedding
- Designing a Standard Ceremony with limited customization, and
- Certificate preparation.
Consultations
I use Zoom for all of our planning sessions. For a Copper package, we schedule at least one meeting to finalize the details of the wedding. We may schedule additional appointments as required to discuss challenges and ensure I understand your requirements. During the final meeting, we walk through the ceremony and certificate preparation details in a virtual “rehearsal” and assure you have a valid wedding license packet.
Micro-Wedding Ceremony Design
You know I offer three ceremony editing levels if you have seen the A La Carte page. The Standard Ceremony, included with the Copper and Bronze packages, offers up to three hours of editing and a complete, step-by-step process to deliver a ceremony that makes your day memorable.
The Micro-Wedding Design Process
The steps for the design process look like this:
- Template and Script Design Questionnaire.
- First Draft and Value-Added Options Form.
- Final Draft and Consultation.
- Your Wedding Day!
Template and Design Script
Shortly after you sign our agreement, I will email a questionnaire to capture the look and feel of your wedding service. The link to that form includes a sample template of the service and booklets containing readings and blessings. You’ll have a few days to answer the questionnaire and tell me what readings from the pamphlets to include. Once I receive your answers, I will edit your first draft.
Your First Draft
When the first draft is ready, I will email it to you. While completing the form, you may have decided on an optional, value-added ceremony element. If that’s the case, I will send links to additional planning forms to capture that information. We can schedule a Zoom meeting to clarify those details if there are enough “loose ends” to discuss. With your feedback in hand, I will edit the final draft of your ceremony.
Your Final Draft
By this time, the final draft of your ceremony is nearly complete. I edit the script to ensure
