What is included

Ceremony planning
Officiating the ceremony
Coordination of the marriage license on the wedding day

Working together

Plan a first conversation a few months ahead. Share how you met, what you hope guests feel and which readings or rituals you like. Then ask for a draft of the ceremony script and edit it until it sounds like you. Vows are easier to deliver when they are short, so aim for a minute or two each.

Because license coordination is offered, ask exactly what you need to bring. Tennessee couples apply at a county clerk office, and each county has its own hours and fees, so check yours well before the date. Ask who signs the license and who returns it.

Where Blake works

Chattanooga sits on the Tennessee River near the Georgia line, with mountain-view, riverfront and downtown venues. Blake has officiated across the South, so ask about travel if your wedding is in Georgia, Alabama or elsewhere in the region.
