What Makes a Ceremony Feel Genuine
The difference between a meaningful ceremony and a photo op with a certificate.
Signs of a Genuine Ceremony
- Celebrant asks about your story beforehand
- You can write or choose your own vows
- Multiple ceremony location options
- Staff remember your names and occasion
- Decorations feel personal, not mass-produced
- Photographer captures candid moments, not just posed shots
Signs of a Checkbox Experience
- Generic script read to every couple
- One location, no choice
- Decorations are identical every time
- Ceremony feels rushed (under 10 minutes)
- Photo session is mechanical and brief
- Staff treat it as a task, not a celebration
