Rehearsal/wedding assistant

If you are providing your own officiant, you must hire an assistant to help with your rehearsal and ceremony. For $60, your assistant will help with or conduct your rehearsal, coordinate your ceremony with your officiant and any musicians, open and close the chapel doors for your entrance and that of your bridal party, direct your attendants to walk down the aisle, pin on the boutonnieres and corsages, seat latecomers, and ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Musicians

Live music adds so much to a wedding, especially with the very talented musicians listed below. Estimated costs include twenty minutes of pre-ceremony, music for the entrance of your bridal party and for you, a song during the ceremony (usually during the unity candle lighting), and music for your and your guests’ exit. Please check with musicians to confirm costs; they set their prices and these are only our estimates. It is not necessary to have professional musicians attend your rehearsal. You may also wish to have a musician at your reception, perhaps for background music during the meal.
