If you are not getting married by your clergy-person or an officiant that you already know, you will find yourself in the position of interviewing potential candidates... Just like you interview potential DJs, florists, and photographers. Here are ideas on how to select the San Diego wedding officiant that will make your ceremony be just the way you want it to be.
Marriage overseers you are considering should offer a free no-obligation meeting to talk about your ceremony. You should both be at the interview, and you should expect that it will take about an hour. Come prepared with questions. Confer with each other before the interview so you have common expectations about the ceremony you want. Here are some questions to ask a potential marriage overseer:
Find out how committed your minister is to the whole process. Managing the whole marriage ceremony is no mean a task. The minister has to love what they are doing and show thorough commitment while being down to earth at the same time. Look at the attitude and general mood of the minister as you conduct the interview and consider how much heart he will put to ensuring the event goes on without any flaws. If they are excited and looking forward to it, then you have a guarantee that come the D-day he will connect with you and your groom emotionally on the podium as you read each other your vows
How many marriages to you do in a year? Do you do more than one a day? Can I see a sample of your work... Video or written document? Can I check out your work with one or more of your past clients? Do you have back-up if you are sick or otherwise unable to be at the marriage?
You can also search the web, there are many people who advertise their services there and happen to be genuine and good ai too. So do not let this avenue to find the right person slip you without having a go at it. Once you have decided who you want after doing all this, arrange for a meet up with the person at a convenient venue and record on paper whatever the two of you will discuss.
Recommendations. The right ministers will have names of couples who he has overseen their ceremonies so that prospectful clients can seek reviews and from and get their experienced opinion on the minister. There are also wedding reviews sites that provide additional reviews and recommendations. Don't hire a Minister without reading and/or checking out references.
You may only have this one opportunity for "face time" with your overseer before your marriage day. Make the most of it by sticking to the agenda which is talking about your ceremony. After the interview, ask yourself: Am I comfortable with this person? Is this the person I want to perform my wedding ceremony in front of all my family and friends? Does this overseer seem to understand what we want? Would this overseer be flexible, helpful, and creative?
If you liked how the interview went and you want to hire the overseer, ask what the next steps are. It will probably be signing a contract and making a deposit to reserve your date on your overseer's calendar. Ask for a timeline of the overseer's ceremony preparation activities. If you decide to hire an overseer, do take the time to let any other overseers that you interviewed know that you selected someone else. It is helpful for an officiant to know you made a decision. A brief email is fine! You would be amazed how many people do not follow through with that courtesy
