By Chasity Sheppard


You and your partner have decided that it is time for you to exchange your vows and formally become joined as one. You have decided after much deliberation that getting a civil ceremony would be a good idea for you. You're going to need to get everything properly prepared and set ahead of time. Part of this is to ensure that you will have the right wedding officiant in Denver.

There are things that you'll need to do and questions that you need to ask if you are really intent at finding the right professional for this purpose. This is one of things you need to take care of ahead of time. Remember, regardless of how good the rest of your preparations are, without somebody to officiate the ceremony, you are getting nothing in the end.

Make sure that he is going to be available on the date that you have set the ceremony to be performed. You need to check with his calendar of schedules to ensure that he indeed is cleared to be assisting you on that day. If he is not, then you may need to look for a different provider. That, or you can just reschedule the ceremony to a more convenient date for him.

Make sure that these providers are able to travel to the site where the ceremony takes place. You need to consider their ability to be there in the day of the event. You must take care of their travel fares and such other costs concerning their accommodations, by the way. This is the least that you can do for all the trouble that they have to go through.

In the event that you're not planning on holding the event somewhere, ask if he happens to have a place where you can get the ceremony done too. If he is a judge, then you can always choose to have the ceremony be done in the courthouse. In some cases, he can also choose to hold the ceremony in a function from or a meeting room or somewhere private and solemn for the rites.

Determine the costs that you need to cover when enlisting his assistance. Determine if the are fees that you will need to cover before you can enlist his services. You need assurance that you will be referring to somebody who will charge right if he does charge a standard fee. There are others who do not charge fees, but would rather encourage people to send in donations instead.

Determine how experienced this professional is in performing these ceremonies. You would prefer somebody who happens to have the most exposure in the field. This is important so he would actually know the things that he is supposed to do to get everything set and ready on your big day.

See if there is a way for the wedding officiant in Denver to allow you to personalize the rest of the details of the ceremony as well. This is your special day. This is your big day. So, you would want to make sure that all the necessary preparations that need to be done and properly done prior to you reciting your 'I dos'.
