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 don't 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 for the inclusion of children, the telling of the couple's 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
Praise for The Wedding Ceremony Planner
"Weddings are sacred acts surrounded by material hoopla. The Wedding Ceremony Planner clarifies the worldly issues but keeps the spirit central. It's the balance that every couple needs."
-Marianne Williamson, author, The Gift of Change
"With countless samples of ceremony segments and worksheets to put them all together, The Wedding Ceremony Planner affirms what we all hope for: to communicate our love in a clear, heartfelt manner that truly reflects who we are."
-Jack Canfield, co-author, Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul
"In this time of increasing exchange and friendship between people of many cultures ... what the world needs is an intelligent and compassionate 'how to' book on performing interfaith ceremonies. This book is an excellent example."
-The Very Reverend James Parks Morton Founder and President of the Interfaith Center of New York
"[This book] was [wonderful] in helping us create our wedding ceremony. Not only was it easy to follow, but it made us think of things we never would have thought of on our own ... Going through the book also brought us closer ... it is the one thing we have sat down and done 100% together."
-Jennifer Buehler and Frank Yanoti Jr., Bride and Groom
"Planning the wedding ceremony in itself can be a process of discovery for a couple entering marriage ... this marvelous book ... help[s] couples design a ceremony that truly and personally characterizes the meaning and uniqueness of each union."
-Pril Smiley, Mohonk Mountain House
"This book will aid and guide the couple in the creation of their unique wedding ceremony that appropriately states their personal beliefs. How refreshing, how important, how appropriate to help make the wedding yours."
-Alexandra Stoddard, author of Choosing Happiness

 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.
HUGE Stress Reliever! July 26, 2008
I bought this book on the recommendation of another bride and I am SO happy I did.
We are having a first time officiant (uncle) and wanted to a) identify the elements that were most important to us in a ceremony b) give him a guideline of words that spoke to us and c) write our vows.
We aren't religious, and wanted a very comtemporary ceremony and this book was a huge help. It has religious passages, spiritual ones, and secular ones. Helps you customize and gives you great ideas while keeping you organized and focused.
We were able to put our ceremony together is a few hours, and it was nice bonding time focused on the most important part of what is going to be a big day!
One of the best recommendations I've received for my wedding planning, hands down!
Good for the Contemporary Wedding July 25, 2008
The Wedding Ceremony planner is a complete guide to designing both a service(the words spoken) and the logistics. It divides the service into its components (Vows, questions of intent, etc.), and provides many options in each area for the couple to choose from.
In addition, there are forms to record the basic information any wedding planner should have (cues, etc.)
If you're looking for a guide to the wedding ceremony itself and you want something CONTEMPORARY, this is for you. If you're looking for more traditional weddings, choose something else (for example, The Protestant Wedding Sourcebook: A Complete Guide for Developing Your Own Service).
Also, if you want to be your own wedding planner, you'll need something more systematic on the order of the ceremony.
Very helpful July 16, 2008
Great product for someone that is looking for ideas for a ceremony outline. I was able to piece together a ceremony including many traditional and non-traditional aspects in just a few hours. The book was extremely helpful with suggestions, etiquette, etc.
Great advice for many types of weddings June 10, 2008

My Mom, our officiant, found this book and recommended I pick up a copy. The ceremony was one of the last things we nailed down but I was able to use her structure and some of what she wrote, add our own stuff, and the end result was wonderful. Neither the groom nor I are religious or spiritual, but I still wanted an emotional and meaningful celebration of our relationship. This was the first book I read that really treated that like an option. But also had lots of stuff for people who would want a religious ceremony.
