Yes. Whether you want something light‑hearted, formal, or naturally unscripted, I shape the ceremony to match the tone that feels right for you.

We talk through your preferences, and I craft the language and pacing so the ceremony reflects your personalities and the atmosphere you want to create.

Most couples book anywhere from 6–12 months ahead, especially for popular dates. There is a promotion discount for weddings booked 6 months or more in advance.

If your wedding is sooner, you’re still welcome to reach out — I often have availability for elopements and short‑notice ceremonies as well.

We start with a planning call where I learn about your story, your personalities, and the tone you want for your ceremony.

From there, I create your ceremony and share a draft for you to review.

You’re welcome to request adjustments, and I refine the script until it feels right for you.

As the wedding approaches, I confirm final details and coordinate timing so everything feels smooth, clear, and stress‑free on the day.

Yes. While I am based in Binghamton, New York, I travel throughout the New York and Pennsylvania region for weddings.

A travel fee applies based on the distance and time required to reach your venue.

The exact amount is calculated as part of the service estimate, so you’ll always know the cost upfront.

I adapt the ceremony to whatever the day brings. If the weather shifts, I work with you (and your coordinator, if you have one) to adjust the location, timing, or setup so everything stays comfortable and safe.

Whether we move indoors, shift to a covered space, or make small timing changes, the ceremony will still feel smooth, meaningful, and true to your vision.

I accept electronic payments for the deposit using Paypal. Final payments can be paid electronically or cash.
You’ll see the full details in your agreement, including how and when each payment is made.

Your coordinator manages the logistics of your wedding day so everything runs smoothly.

Christiane oversees vendor communication, timeline management, ceremony setup, and on‑site coordination.

She keeps everyone aligned and handles the details behind the scenes so you can stay present and enjoy the day without stress.

Christiane manages timing, cues, and setup, while I focus on delivering your ceremony.

Throughout the day, we stay in sync so transitions feel natural, the wedding party knows where to be, and the ceremony begins exactly when it should.

If anything unexpected happens — a vendor delay, weather shift, or last‑minute change — Christiane handles it quickly and calmly.

She problem‑solves on the spot, adjusts the timeline if needed, and keeps everyone informed so the day stays relaxed and on track.Item description
