Compass Star Celebrations

How does your process work?

Your ceremony should feel personal, meaningful, and true to you. I’ll guide you through a simple, comfortable process so everything feels easy from start to finish.

We’ll begin with a Zoom or in-person meeting to get to know each other and talk about your ceremony and celebration. From there, the process depends on the type of ceremony you choose:

• Personalized Wedding Ceremony — I will create a fully customized ceremony based on your story and input, and we will refine it together until it feels just right.
• Standard Ceremony (Elopements, Vow Renewals & Simple Weddings) — you will choose from prepared ceremony options, and we will confirm the details together.
• Simple Legal Ceremony — we will confirm the essential details in a straightforward planning meeting focused on the legal ceremony itself.

On your wedding day, I will guide you through the ceremony so you can simply be present and enjoy the moment.

What is the difference between your ceremony options?

The main difference is the level of personalization and planning support:

• Personalized Ceremony — fully written for you and your love story
• Standard Ceremony — choose from prepared ceremony scripts with guided planning
• Simple Legal Ceremony — a streamlined ceremony focused on the legal marriage

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, I’m happy to help you decide.
