Wedding Ceremony Script Writing Service

Are you having a friend or family member officiate your wedding?

This is a beautiful way to personalize your wedding ceremony.

The challenge? For most first-time officiants, they have no idea how to create, organize, and write a wedding ceremony script.

Good thing for you, we specialize in designing and writing custom wedding ceremony scripts.

How can you help your friend or family member to officiate your wedding?

Get your officiant the support they need.

They bring their personality and connection to the couple but without a ceremony writer, the words they say will likely sound more generic than you were anticipating.

When you hire Katelyn’s Wedding Words to work with your officiant, you’re guaranteed to have a more custom and personalized wedding ceremony script.

When we found Wedding Words, we felt a huge sense of relief.

Planning a ceremony is a huge task as it is the most important part of any wedding day.

Katelyn walked us through the entire ceremony process from processional, opening remarks, readings, and vows. Katelyn does it all and she created something totally unique to my husband and I.

Many guests and my husband shed a few tears during our ceremony.

An intimidating component of planning became a total breeze with Wedding Words.

How does the ceremony script writing process work?

Through this premium ceremony script writing service, we'll collaborate to create your entire wedding ceremony.

We cover everything from writing the opening remarks, the officiant's address for the couple, and the closing remarks to organizing the ceremony timeline and picking out other ceremony details such as music options, reading suggestions, unity rituals, and how to involve your unique style into the ceremony.  

What if your officiant already wrote the ceremony script but still needs help?

We don’t just write custom ceremony scripts. We also provide an editing service to officiants who have already written the ceremony. Often times, officiants are able to write an initial ceremony outline but they do not feel 100% confident with it.

Send your ceremony script to us to review. We’ll help you polish and perfect the opening remarks, officant’s address, and closing remarks.

How does the ceremony script writing process work?

We’ll meet with both the officiant and the couple on a video call. Together, we’ll review questions.

The audio is recorded from our session so that I can use this as a point of reference when designing and writing the custom wedding ceremony script.

The couple and the officiant will receive a first draft to review and provide feedback and edit suggestions.

Once a finalized version of the ceremony script is approved, the officiant will also receive public speaking tips to ensure the ceremony is impactful and memorable.

What kind of questions will we go over on the call?

Here are a few sample questions that we’ll discuss on our ceremony script writing call:

  • How did the couple meet?

  • How does the officiant know the couple?

  • Why did the couple choose this person to officiate their wedding?

  • How does the couple envision their marriage? What goals, hopes, dreams do they have together?

  • What themes might you like to include in your ceremony? i.e. Growth, commitment, trust, dedication, friendship, etc.

  • What expectations do you have for your ceremony? How do you want it to feel for you and for your guests?

Testimonials

Love my vows Katelyn!!!! It’s such a relief to have this out of the way so I can focus on all the rest of the stuff I need to do! 

You were my very favorite part of the process!! Your experience and confidence in the process took all the stress out of writing my vows!

— Natalie, Florida

I thought the process was outstanding. You did a great job communicating, and I thought the turnaround time for editing was perfect. I also thought the video interview was great in that it was personal and meaningful!

— Jordan

I am a storyteller, not a speechwriter. I was incredibly intimidated about writing one.

So thankful to find Katelyn to get my thoughts all in order. Very proud of how the speech came out. Looking forward to giving it!

— Jennifer Whitley, Texas

I had such a wonderful experience working with Katelyn. She truly helped mold perfect vows that I can’t wait to tell my fiancé on our wedding day! 

Katelyn was friendly, sweet, and super easy to work with. I will definitely be calling her up if I have to give another speech in the near future.

— Jordanne, California

Katelyn was professional, easy to talk to, and made the interviewing process fun. She came well prepared with unexpected and thought-provoking questions to get a better understanding of our love story and who we are as a couple.

She was a pleasure to work with and made the vow writing process enjoyable.

— Kimi Kinsey, South Carolina

Working with Katelyn on my maid of honor toast was an incredible experience. She really took the time to understand my relationship with my best friend and used my responses to craft a toast that put my thoughts and feelings into words in a way that I never would have been able to do on my own.

Before working with Katelyn, I was nervous and stressed about giving (and writing) such a big, important speech. But now I’m so relieved that it’s done, and I honestly can’t wait to stand up and tell everyone exactly what my best friend means to me.

— Allyssa, New Jersey

I didn’t actually know this service existed until I discovered Katelyn! It was such a fun experience to video chat with her about my best friend who is getting married this summer.

I don’t have to stress about writing this a few weeks before my best friend’s wedding. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to read it at my best friend’s wedding!
