Questions you need to ask before getting married- Asking the Officiant

I met a wonderful couple at Starbucks on SW 8th Street. I realized that they had very few questions as to what to expect from their officiant. I mean after all, a notary or officiant is the 3rd most important person in the wedding, besides the bride and groom.

They did have some basic questions-such as,how much do you cost, are you available. This had me thinking that there are more questions one should have when you are hiring the one person you have to have for your wedding.
So I decided to compile a list that you can use to help you select the person who will make your marriage legitimate.

If you want to get married in a church or a place:
~If I am not a member of your congregation, will I need to join?
~If yes, what do we need to do to be members?
~If I chose to marry at a different site, will you perform the service?
~What, if any, denominational regulations or traditions will I need to adhere to?
~Is there a premarital program that I will need attend?
~How long is the program and how much does it cost?
~Will there be any other ceremony after?
~ Any restrictions regarding, Candles or special lightning, flowers or decorations, dress, music, petals, rice, bird seeds?
~Will parking spaces be available?
~Is there a church fee/ donation?
~Can we have it in another language?


General questions to ask from any officiant:
~Will I be allowed to edit or create my own vows?
~How long will the ceremony last?
~What time would the vendors be able to come and set up?
~How many times will we need to meet before the actual day?
~Will you be present for the rehearsal?
~Is there an extra charge? What is it?

Of course add more questions as needed, but this should get you on the right path.
Remember when you are getting married you need the bride, the groom and the person to marry you.
