FAQs

24 weddings in 2024. Vows & Forever Founder and Lead Officiant Maria Cid is opening her books for 2024 for only 24 weddings — or — two weddings a month. This ensures that she dedicates enough time to each couple and customizing their wedding ceremony script. Books will close once the cap is reached.

I want to learn more. What’s my next step? Please fill out our contact form and we will respond within 48 business hours to set up a virtual “meet-and-greet” with the wedding officiant in your area. During this meeting, you can ask questions, get to know the officiant and figure out whether you’re a match!

What do your officiant services include? At Vows & Forever, we like to get know our couples so that we can personalize each wedding ceremony. We try to schedule several virtual meetings before your wedding. Couples who want a more traditional wedding ceremony may opt of the virtual meetings, and choose to meet just once — a couple weeks before their wedding date. The choice is always up to you. After the wedding, we ensure all required paperwork gets sent and recorded at the appropriate county clerk’s office to make your marriage legal.

What if I need help writing my custom wedding vows? Vows & Forever is also a custom wedding vows and speech writing service. Each officiant specializes in writing vows, and can help put your thoughts to paper for an additional charge. Because you’re hiring us for our officiating service, we offer vow writing services at a discounted price.

What do you mean by travel fees? Will each ceremony require them? Not every wedding ceremony will include a traveling fee; it depends on where the venue is located in relation to where the officiant resides. For the most part, we try to keep down travel costs. Additional fees will be calculated and agreed upon before a contract is drawn and deposit is paid.

Do you attend the wedding rehearsal? We will gladly attend for an additional charge. Officiants don’t typically attend rehearsals because it’s simply rehearsing walking in and out of the ceremony. However, we do provide our couples with instructions on how to perform their own wedding rehearsal so you are well-prepared. Once armed with that information, many couples find they don’t need their officiant present.
