Wedding of Oliver and Sheryl

Oliver and Sheryl
This couple was a pleasure to work with. The ceremony and reception were in the same location which was a private union hall in Creve Coeur. They had a huge wedding party and could barely fit in the space allowed, but we made it happen. The hall was decorated simply and elegant with an arbor.



Sheryl was very nervous and stayed in hiding for a few minutes.  I think she was overwhelmed with the large wedding party standing around her telling her this and that. The cake table had a nice assortment of different styles and tastes.

It just goes to show that you can have a lovely wedding event without having to spend a lot of money.

Date, Time and Location

What are the steps to book a ceremony with a Wedding Officiant? St Louis, MO First Step: Do you have a favorite date in mind? Perhaps a time of year or season? Maybe the answer is NOW or last minute (elopement). Coming up with a date is a priority when booking an officiant. It is obvious that we need to be available to perform the ceremony. Second Step: What time of day appeals to you? Be creative. If you choose earlier in the day, you can celebrate with a brunch. Afternoons are the most popular. Some couples choose close to a meal time to have the ceremony so guests can eat following the service.  My favorite is in the evening - close to sunset - which some say is the best time of day for great photography. Third Step: Location, Location, Location. Believe it or not, this can be the hardest of the three to plan or decide on.  Inside or outside? Too big or too small?
