Product Description
Many couples want a spiritual but not a religious ceremony that truly celebrates their unique set of beliefs, values and life circumstances. They want their ceremony, their way but dont know where to begin or what questions they need to ask. The Wedding Ceremony Planner is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide. It covers everything you need to know to create a beautiful ceremony text and to anticipate and address all the profound and mundane logistics with ease, grace and fun. It includes hundreds of text excerpts reflecting the many voices with which our hearts speak. There are also ten sample ceremony texts, including those used to address such situations as the inclusion of children, the telling of the couples story, the renewal of vows and a commitment ceremony. Checklists and worksheets are included to manage all the details. The Wedding Ceremony Planner is also an invaluable resource for clergy of all faiths, wedding planners and location coordinators. Sprinkled with anecdotes about lessons learned by couples creating their weddings, this book is filled with the wisdom of experience.

Make the ceremony YOURS - Real Wording and Examples October 29, 2008
This book was invaluable when making our wedding ceremony personal. It made it easy to combine a few lines from one example with a few lines from another example to create beautiful, personalized wording throughout our ceremony, from greeting to exit and every piece in between. I really appreciated that there were so many full examples with all different types of verbiage, grouped by each section of the ceremony.
The Perfect Guide for Weddings - Inspirational - Resourceful - A Perfect Helping Hand August 14, 2008
Being a wedding officiate for four years, I wish I had found this book for my first wedding. This book gives it all to you. The ABC's of a Wedding. Out of all the books I have purchased over the years (now collecting dust) this is the book that stays within my reach at all times. You have just become engaged, now what, or you have been officiating for a while and need something to inspire you for the next wedding. For the engaged couple this will walk you threw the questions, answers, and things you have not thought of. It will answer the questions that everyone keeps telling you has to be done this way or that. You now have the guide to know what you want to do and not what family and friends say you should do, your wedding your way. For a new officiate or the officiate who has performed for awhile this book will help you understand things you might not have encountered before, it will give you new phrases to get the creative ideas flowing so you can create the perfect ceremony for your couples. Even if you are renewing your vows this guide will walk you threw it all. If you are a couple with children from a past relationship this book will give you all the guidance you need to include your children in your wedding ceremony, creating a family wedding ceremony. I often use post it notes on pages that I want to refer back to for future ideas that will fit a specific client. I started marking pages of Judith's book and had to stop, the pages were all posted with sticky notes. I love how this book will help me when I become stumped on a phrase or wording for a new ceremony, this book will give me the ideas and words that I need. I receive compliments all the time from guests and the couple how the ceremony wasn't a cookie cutter ceremony and it wasn't like all the other weddings they have been to. I start out with ideas and phrases, then search Judith's book to see if there is a phrase or sentence that will blend with my ideas, I always find something that is better and more inspirational for my ceremonies than the last ceremony. Everything from Religious to Non Religious. This book has given me so much that I will be able to create ceremonies for a long time to come.
Thank You Judith for such a Complete wedding guide. I recommend it to all future Brides and Grooms at our first meeting. It is a great resource for them to know what questions to ask, it gives them a piece of mind knowing this is the only book they need to buy, this is the number one guide to a wedding.
The book has been very helpful. It has everything one needs to plan a great wedding. August 8, 2008
I highly recommend this book for anyone planning a wedding. It takes one through each step of the wedding and write the ceremony. The Wedding Ceremony Planner is a must for those arranging their own weddings.
We wrote our own ceremony using this book August 8, 2008
This book was extremely helpful to my husband and I as we planned our wedding. When we decided to get married, we knew that we didn't want a church wedding, but beyond that, we weren't sure what we DID want. We didn't even know where to begin. I found this book, and it immediately put my mind at ease that we'd be able to create a beautiful, personalized wedding.
The book itself is logically laid out and simple to use. And the various writings provide a wide range of styles and tastes. Working from the book, my now-husband and I mixed and matched, edited and rearranged, deleted and added, and ultimately came up with a ceremony that truly spoke to who we are and who we hope to become together. The word "elegant" was used by many guests to describe the ceremony.
There is a particularly useful section on "special circumstances," such as children from previous marriages, friendship circles, ethnic traditions, etc. My husband has a six-year-old son from his first marriage; we always knew he was going to be the ring bearer, but we didn't have any other ideas of how to incorporate him into the ceremony. When we read the "special circumstances" chapter, we found exactly what we wanted to say. It expressed perfectly how I feel about my stepson, and how we all felt about becoming a family. It was the highlight of the ceremony, and I don't think anyone in the audience survived without crying!
I would highly recommend this book to any couple who wants to write their own ceremony, or to any officiant who is new to the field.
 great book if you are writing your own ceremony! August 2, 2008
Great book, really useful! We didn't have a "real" officiant who did weddings a lot so we wrote our own ceremony using this book. Lots of options with different ceremony aspects which was great. There are no readings in here, however, which would have made it 5star.
