What colors are you using for your wedding? (Accent color and men's suit/tux color in plain english, e.g. dark pink and navy blue)*
At the end of the ceremony I will need two witnesses (not you!) for your marriage license. Do you have anyone in mind? (I often suggest with mothers, for example, as it is a nice photo.*
If there is music during your ceremony, please let me know the DJ or musicians, etc.*
We will spend time planning your ceremony, so to void any conflicting information, please list your DJ, venue rep, or planner if they will be present at the rehearsal.

DJ's and venue reps often ask that you submit a processional order, for example, or may pressure you into a boilerplate version. This has become a "value-add" for DJ's and venues, and unfortunately a lot of officiants are not prepared (or don't care) to know otherwise. One of the reasons you hired me is that we will customize everything from start to finish--a good thing!

By supplying these contacts, I will make sure everyone is on the same page.

When it comes to the Ceremony (meaning Processional-->Ceremony-->Recessional, I've got it. I will run rehearsal from start to finish and gladly include venue reps, DJ's, etc in the plans we have made.

PLEASE LET YOUR DJ'S, VENUE REPS AND PLANNERS TO CHECK IN WITH ME ON YOUR CEREMONY PROCESSIONAL AND CUES.
If you have a wedding planner and/or venue rep please provide their information here.
If you have a DJ, please provide their information here.
How do you want to be presented at the conclusion of your ceremony? For example, Mr. and Mrs. James Smith or Mr. and Mrs. James and Susie Smith*
Does your venue or DJ supply a microphone for the officiant? (lapel style preferred)*

YesNoI will find out!
Additional Notes for Scott:
Thanks for providing this basic information. I understand some of it may change, and we can make any adjustments when we meet. I look forward to seeing you!
