CEREMONY WRITING GUIDE

A custom ceremony written from your love story.

The Tapestry Event Co. Ceremony Writing Guide is for couples who have invited a friend or family member to officiate their ceremony. Take the guesswork and stress out of the writing process. This step-by-step guide tells you and your officiant exactly how to create a custom ceremony based on your love story. You will get the opportunity to share the stories and values that make up your marriage.

And together, you’ll have a format for collaborating that saves you time and energy and creates a unique ceremony script. Give yourself the gift of an authentic moment of marriage that will set the foundation for many years of partnership to come!
