Customized Wedding Ceremonies

When I am engaged to create and perform a custom wedding ceremony, I meet with my couple to get to know them and we spend about an hour or so together and make some decisions resulting in the creation of a beautiful and memorable ceremony. Actually, what I love to do best, besides performing ceremonies, is helping couples to create the ceremony of their heart's desire.  I have a lovely order of ceremony (sequence that a ceremony follows) and lots of choices therein.  I have a lot of great ideas of how to make your ceremony special, personal, memorable and even funny, if you like.

Once the ceremony is created, I email you a copy of the ceremony I have created for your approval and/or for you to make changes as you desire.

If the ceremony has a lot of movement in it, I suggest I be present at the rehearsal the day before, if my schedule permits.

After the ceremony I complete the paperwork with your witnesses and file the license with the appropriate County Clerk/Recorder.

My fee for a custom ceremony depends on a number of factors: the length of time we spend together to make ceremony choices, the complexity of the ceremony and how long it takes to create it (i.e.: biographies take a long time to create well), the number and complexity of subsequent revisions changes, and/or additions to the ceremony, whether there is a rehearsal I need to attend, preparation of keepsake copies of the ceremony, and the location I need to travel to if further than 20 miles from Santa Barbara.

Semi-Customized Wedding Ceremonies

I use a really beautiful ceremony and customize it to your preferences regarding vows, and whether it is civil, religious, or spiritual.  I meet with you shortly before the ceremony to discuss how the ceremony will go and calm the pre-wedding jitters of the happy bride and groom!  I then perform your ceremony, complete the paperwork and am available for photographs. Finally, I file your license with the appropriate County Clerk/Recorder.

Marriage and Family Therapist

Rev. Terri Cooper, M.A., MFT has been a California state-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 30 years, specializing in pre-marital, general marital, and couples counseling.  Read more about pre-marital counseling with Rev. Terri.


Marriage and Family Counseling

Pre-marital counseling is an excellent way to get your marriage off to a great start.  Believe it or not love is not enough! Communicating successfully with one another, resolving conflicts in a constructive way, practicing the art of gracious compromise are all learned skills. Resolving differences in spending patterns, housekeeping, interacting with in-laws, and blending families are all issues that can cause unnecessary strain on an otherwise strong marriage. Pre-marital counseling can help you to take these possible areas of conflict and turn them into opportunities for growth, harmony and greater closeness. It's the best investment you can make in your marriage.
