Your wedding is one of the most
powerful and important events
in your life and it
is important to us that we contribute to its feelings of warmth and
intimacy. Thus, we never rush through a ceremony. It's
important to remember the moment when you say "I do" and to fully
experience the look of love in the eyes of your new husband or wife.
If you think one or either of us might suit you, please contact us to initiate either an e-mail, phone, or in-person conversation. We welcome questions and our official interviews are free, take about an hour, and don't obligate you to us in any way. We generally meet prospective clients at a mutually convenient coffeehouse.
If leaving a voicemail, please include your wedding date, time and location so we can first check
our
calendars for availability.
If you e-mail us, be sure to reference your wedding in the subject line or
your message may inadvertently get deleted.
Additionally, let us know if you or
your partner (or your parents) have a strong preference for a male or female
officiant. There's no reason to confer with both of us if either of you has such a preference. On the other hand, we do
have distinct personalities and meeting with the two of us at one time would
give you two options during the same interview. The competition between us has always been friendly.
We both perform weddings primarily in the greater Sacramento area and surrounding communities,
including but not limited to El Dorado, Amador, Yolo and San Joaquin counties. Occasionally,
venturing out to the Bay Area and the Napa Valley is a welcome change--but the inherent traffic problems are a nagging concern.
Lori lived in the Santa Cruz area and loves
to have an excuse to go back there for the climate change and to visit friends, so she
continues to perform weddings there without charging any additional
travel fees.
Please note: Your wedding will not be "BOOKED" just because you interviewed one or both of us. As a courtesy, we will reserve your wedding and rehearsal times for three days following the interview, but must receive your decision, followed promptly by your NON-REFUNDABLE $50 deposit and signed contract, before we actually ink you into our calendar and refuse other inquiries. Given no word from you, or a subsequent delay in payment, we may book with other couples.
Lori Levisen and Bob Waegell
We would love to help you create a warm, personal
ceremony to share with your favorite people on your wedding day.
