Shaping your ceremony

Think about what you want your guests to feel and what you want to say. A short ceremony of ten to fifteen minutes suits an elopement, while a longer ceremony can include readings, rituals and family participation. Ask for a sample script and share the details you want mentioned, such as how you met.

In Arizona, the marriage license is issued by the county clerk. Ask Courtney what she needs from you and when, and who will return the signed paperwork. Plan time for a rehearsal, even a short one, if the group is large.

Outdoor ceremonies

Tucson offers desert settings, but sun and heat require planning. Schedule outdoor ceremonies for cooler parts of the day, provide water and ask whether the officiant can use a microphone for wind.

Where she works

Courtney serves Tucson and the surrounding area. Confirm travel details for venues outside the city.

Booking details

Book early for popular weekends and ask how far ahead she needs your license details. Request a draft of the ceremony script at least a week before the wedding, and agree on a plan for changes if you want to adjust the order or wording at the last moment.
