Frequently Asked Questions
YES! Based on how far out we are from your wedding, we’ll let you know the maximum number of installments available to you… and you can choose what works best for you.
You may also suggest a payment plan to us. This requires a $250 deposit and your balance must be paid in full at least 30 days prior to your ceremony unless other arrangements have been made.
No, rehearsals are typically for those who aren’t as familiar with weddings and are designed to teach you where to stand and how to stand. However, if you’d like us to attend, we are happy to join and ensure everything flows smoothly, including finalizing details and making sure all participants know their roles.
Some wedding planners and coordinators are starting to REQUIRE the officiant be present at the rehearsal. If you are in that situation, see if the planner will reach out to us to discuss.
Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and ready for your big day!
Your ceremony will still happen! We have a team of experienced officiants, and if the worst happens, we’ll quickly arrange for another professional to step in and ensure your ceremony goes off without a hitch. We’ve got your back, no matter what.
You absolutely can with the Elevate Ceremony; talk with us about availability with the Simply Yours package. Not available with the I Do package.
We love helping couples incorporate their traditions, unique rituals, and personal touches. Whether it’s a unity ceremony, custom vows, or a reading that’s meaningful to you, we’re here to craft a ceremony that reflects your love story.
While meeting in person can be tricky since many of our couples are from out of state, we’ve found that Zoom consultations are a highly effective way to connect. It allows us to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and make sure you feel confident and comfortable with your officiant.
Yes! We’re happy to accommodate bilingual ceremonies, as long as our bilingual officiant, Pastor Robert Peterson, is available. He’s experienced in leading ceremonies in both English and Spanish, ensuring that your special day is inclusive and meaningful for all your guests. Let us know if you’d like to explore this option, and we’ll check his availability.
Not at all, but you don’t have to ask. Our officiant team does not want their head showing in that picture. Just pause a moment before you go in for the kiss so they have time to get out of the way.
Of course! During your consultation, we’ll be asking what colors you’re using to ensure they don’t clash. However, you can also request a specific dress code as long as it’s not a costume. We assure you each one of our team members will wear appropriate attire.
We totally understand the desire to add a personal touch — and that’s why we offer fully customizable options in our other ceremony packages. Our least expensive ceremonies are designed to be streamlined and efficient, which means we’re unable to incorporate outside content, custom scripts, or edits.
This allows us to keep the price low, protect the flow and quality of the ceremony, and maintain the high standards Elevate is known for. If you’re looking for more personalization, our Simply Yours or Elevate Wedding Ceremony options would be a perfect fit!
Because you might be wondering...
Great question. In Colorado, it’s true—you can self-solemnize or ask a friend to officiate. But just because you can doesn’t mean it’s the best option for everyone.
At Elevate Wedding Officiant, you’re not just paying for someone to show up and say a few words. You’re investing in an experience that’s personal, professional, and memorable. Behind every ceremony is a team and infrastructure designed to support you from day one.
These costs include the systems we use to keep you informed and supported, secure payment processing, accounting, legal, insurance, marketing, and administrative operations. That doesn’t even include the time spent writing your script, meeting with you, or the officiant’s presence on the day.
We’ve officiated over a thousand weddings, and what we’ve learned is this: couples want to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. We take that seriously. You’re not just hiring an officiant—you’re hiring a team of professionals who care deeply about getting it right.
