Help! I’ve Been Asked to Write a Wedding Ceremony (Where Do I Start?)
It is one of the greatest honours a friend or family member can receive: being asked by a couple to write or deliver their wedding ceremony. But once the initial excitement fades, a sudden wave of panic usually sets in. How do I structure it? What if it sounds clunky? How do I make it meaningful without it being boring?
As a long-time ceremonialist and writer, I know that the blank page might feel like a terrifying place for you right now. Writing a ceremony isn’t like writing a speech; it requires a specific pace, a holding of space, and an understanding of narrative flow.
To celebrate the recent Autumn Equinox, I published my latest book, Write That Wedding Script. While much of my work is dedicated to training professional celebrants, I wrote this specific volume as a step-by-step lifeline for the everyday person (as well as for wedding celebrants).
What’s Inside:
Structural Blueprints: A clear, step-by-step breakdown of how a beautiful ceremony flows.
Creative Inspo: How to weave in unique narrative without losing the sacred rhythm of the day.
The Mechanics: Practical tips on pacing, breathing, and delivering the spoken word with confidence.
Where to Find It:
If you—or someone you love—have been tasked with the beautiful responsibility of crafting a wedding, you can skip the Google panic. Author-signed copies of Write That Wedding Script are available now directly through Starflower Press.
