How to Choose your Wedding Venue

After making the decision to tie the knot, the next big question is where to hold the perfect marriage ceremony? Choosing for the best venue where to exchange vows is not easy. Luckily, there are many venues you can pick from to make your big day more special.
Here are the list of wedding venues that you can choose from.
   

Church

church weddingFor Catholics, church is the most important venue for weddings. But, on the one hand, traditional rules set by the church prior to the marriage ceremony can be very tedious and sometimes costly. Also, Catholic churches require a couple who wants to get married to go through premarital counselling with a priest. On the other hand, church wedding serves a lot of benefits religious blessing from a priest, a bigger venue, conducive place for a solemn ritual for marriage, free parking space for visitors, etcetera. Most importantly, church is the most sacred place if not the best to start a new married life.
1. Marriage license
This is a certification from your local civil registrar office giving you permission to get married.
2. Baptismal and confirmation certificates
The two certificates must be secured from the parish where you were baptised and confirmed with special annotation “FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES ONLY”. These certificates must be secured three months before the wedding.
3. Canonical interview
The interview will be done by a priest for the bride and the groom one month before the wedding. Usually, after signing the application form at the parish, the interview schedule will be given.
4. Pre-wedding seminar
The seminar will be given simultaneously on the day of the Canonical interview or as scheduled by the parish secretary.
5. Permission from bride’s parish
The permit must be secured from the bride’s parish and must be presented to the parish office where you opt to held the marriage.
6. Marriage banns
The wedding banns is a formal parish announcements in the church where you are getting married. The proclamation of your upcoming marriage will be done every Sunday Masses for three consecutive weeks prior to your wedding day.
7. List of names and addresses of principal sponsors
The list should be submitted a week before the wedding. The church requires at least two pairs of  sponsors to serve as witnesses on the ceremony and marriage contract signing.

Civil

Civil WeddingCivil wedding is ideal for a couple who are not in the same religion. In addition, civil marriage is affordable, simple and requires less formality. The couple can choose the location of the wedding – be it in the garden, in a restaurant, hotel ballroom, in a government office, or wherever place as long as the law permits it.  Though civil wedding is quick and easy, sometimes it can be faked.
Again, the budget for civil wedding depends on your choice of venue and the number of guests you like to invite.
Requirements for Philippine civil marriage:
1.    Marriage license
2.    Parents’ consent (for 18-21 years old) or parental advice (for 21-25 years old).
For foreigners, they are required to obtain Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage issued from the consular office of his or her country. This serves as a proof that he or she is eligible for marriage. All the requirements and step-by-step process are provided by the Local Civil Registrars office or City hall in your respective cities and provinces.

Why Choose Me As Your Officiant?

There are many Officiants and Ministers around and about and I have no idea of what you are looking for.  What I can tell you is what I do, how I build a ceremony, and why.

My focus is always on the couple for whom I am creating the ceremony.  I have to know something about them, their beliefs, background, family, relationships, how they think, how, when and where they met and how they really feel about each other.

When I sit and talk to a couple for an hour it’s easy for me to determine where they are coming from and what they envision on their wedding day.  Not being one to trust my memory, I have created a form I fill out with them to cover the pertinent information.

Right off the bat, when I ask for their address, I know if they are living together which could open up an interesting conversation.

Another leading question is to inquire if their parents will attend the ceremony.  Then I know to ask if they want to honor the parents or mothers during the service or would a memorial be more appropriate.  Maybe one or all are remarried and, if so, are they all talking to each other? 

The next obvious item is about children.  There could be his, hers and theirs and will they attend?  If the children attend will they be included in the proceedings?  The usual recommendation is to include all children. However, in some instances, inclusion would not be for the highest good of all involved.

Are there favorite people, relatives or friends, who are not in the wedding party for one reason or another that the couple would wish to honor or mention somehow?  There are several ways that could be easily accomplished.  There could be a verbal tribute or a flower given as a gift; the person could come forward and read a verse, a personal poem, sing or play an instrument.

And we haven’t even gotten into the actual ceremony yet!

I have to say 2 things right here right now.  1, I love doing weddings.  I’ve been often told that my passion shows.  2, each and every fully personalized ceremony, written by me is not like any other ceremony that I have ever performed. 

Every thought, prayer, message, passage, poem, blessing and announcement must match the couple for whom I will pronounce husband and wife.  A marriage is a life changing event.  Even when the couple has been living together, something changes within them.  They are not and will never be the same again.  Ever.  This responsibility is serious and I definitely take it personally.

I have created brand new additions that fulfill a request from the bride or groom.  For instance – one bride wanted to create a time box to be opened on their first anniversary.  Another unique event was a surprise wedding when I appeared as another BBQ guest until the right time and then set the stage for the ceremony complete with wishing stones.

There have been several religions and cultures woven into a single wedding tapestry; prayers for atheists; house blessings incorporated and weddings that have followed funerals and national disasters.

Every component is weighed and measured to see if it fits the couple.  Parts are deleted, new ones created, phrases rewritten, words pondered over.  You should see the condition of my current thesaurus! It’s my most prized book.

When the realization dawned on me of what was constantly occurring, it became a new tag line: For a ceremony as unique as you!  And that is what I love to do. 

I love to meet with the couple.  Hear what they have to say.  Ask questions.  Listen some more.  Observe their interactions. Watch their reactions.  Add it all up using intuition as the common denominator.  All of the above is brought into a meditative state and out pops a brand new unique ceremony written with a passion that shines through the bride and groom and overflows to each and every guest.

There is no one in the world quite like you.  There is not another couple quite like you and your fiancĂ©.  And YOU deserve a ceremony as unique as you!
