The wedding to-do list is always fairly daunting, no matter how big or small the guest list is.  

Choosing your wedding officiant is usually on top of the list. Some couples start the selection process as soon as they set their wedding date and others call around 2-4 months before. There is no right or wrong!

You may have an idea of what style of ceremony you would like, but not really sure about all the details. 

I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had with brides who call/email and tell me everything

they’d like in their ceremony. 

Then, they wait to sign the e-contract only to find out that I was booked while they waited.

This should be the first task to do when you find an officiant you like and that fits your budget.

I like e-contracts because is the best back up that you and I can have since it is a legal document. No proffesional vendor will just ask for your money without protecting your interests as client.

I do have couples that like to fully pay in advance or make a deposit and that is totally fine too, since an e-contract is always created.

If your ceremony is an Elopement style, there is no need of a contract.
