Wedding Ceremonies

What Would You Like? 
This is a question most brides and grooms do not expect to get asked.  We love to talk with couples before the big day to better communicate how the wedding plans you have will unfold into wedding reality.  Also keep in mind, if you do not have any plans or ideas in mind for this part of your special day, we have many ceremony options for you to choose from.

The Options are Endless
We start with any hopes or dreams you have for your ceremony, and these become our main goal.  All of our ceremonies are tailor made to your religious and spiritual preferences, as well as your personalities.  With the 30 years of experience Rev. Klukken brings to the ceremony, any and all denominations will feel comfortable and welcome.  Having been affiliated with many denominations and faiths, Rev. Klukken will honor and reflect the views of the couple while making those in attendance feel warm, welcome, and a part of a great event.


"Rev Doug did an amazing job... He was able to capture our true personalities, and that we love to laugh together, and incorporated it throughout the ceremony... Six months later, my guests are still raving about the ceremony." - Nicole

We encourage all couples to help plan the ceremony by taking part in a ceremony planning session, and we have many ideas to choose from to make your wedding the best fit for you.  If you want a ceremony that is small and quiet, that is exactly what you will have.  If your ceremony dreams are as big as the stars, you will have the elaborate wedding ceremony to match.   Your dream is our dream for you. 

Whether you want an elaborate ceremony or something short and sweet, you can rest assured that this part of the day will be exactly what you want.  There is also a quick and easy option that requires no pre-planning on your part.  You can just relax and know that you will be receiving a ceremony that was carefully crafted from Rev. Doug's 30 years of wedding ceremony experience.  It is always your choice.  

A Ceremony to be Remembered
Many couples don't know that the ceremony can be one of the most memorable parts of their day.  Our most common response from couples and their families after the ceremony is that people are still talking about the ceremony long after the wedding day has passed.


"We had never met him because we live in a different state and everyone at the wedding thought he had known us for years." - Holly

Many family members assume that our couples are members of our church because the ceremony is so warm and personal.   It doesn't matter whether you spend a lot of time planning the ceremony or not, we will still provide you with a beautifully memorable and meaningful ceremony.  Depending on what the couple chooses, ceremonies can last between 15-30 minutes, and no one looks at their watch.  It is an experience for all to enjoy.

Your dream is what we help you realize
To date there are no requests that have not been honored:

Our award-winning team is ready to help you create the wedding ceremony of your dreams.
