Rehearsals
After your simulated rehearsal in our office, all that is left to do at your onsite rehearsal is to show your wedding party where you have chosen for them to stand. Because we work out all of your ceremony details in the Ceremony Planning Session, our rehearsals are focused on giving your wedding party an opportunity to find their places and practice walking down the aisle to their proper positions.
With the knowledge they gain in the Ceremony Planning Session, many of our couples (about 90%) feel confident enough to handle leading their onsite rehearsal without our presence. In our experience, couples with large wedding parties (6 or more on each side), those with many small children involved, and those with inexperienced wedding parties, are the ones who benefit the most from our guidance at their rehearsal.

We schedule rehearsals closer to your wedding day due to restrictions on dates and times from your chosen wedding venue. If your venue is booked on the day and time that makes most sense to schedule your rehearsal, our own chapel is available as a backup location.
