Wedding Ceremony: Recessional
This is the end of a 7 part series of blog posts. Click to see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6. The Recessional signals the end of the ceremony. Its the opposite of the Processional. Everything is done in reverse except that the couple walks out together first. They are followed usually by the bridal party in the reverse order in which they entered. This is also where any…

Wedding Ceremony – Vows
This is part 5 of a series. Click to see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. You all know what this part is. The wedding vows and the ring vows are usually said at this time. Regular vows are what usually change the most from ceremony to ceremony. They can be written and read or off-the-cuff; general or personal; you can even repeat after me, the Officiant. The ring vows are a bit simpler.…

Wedding Ceremony: Gathering Words
This is part 3 in a series of posts about the Wedding Ceremony. Click to see part 1 and part 2. After the processional comes the gathering words, or opening words. This means exactly what it says. In movies you’ll hear the Officiant say something to the tune of “dearly beloved we are gathered here today….” In less traditional ceremonies it is a time used to call everyone to attention to let them…

Wedding Ceremony
Happy New Year everyone! Its a new year and there are lot of newly engaged couples out there. Most of whom will be getting married for the first time. Its very easy to get bogged down in the details of the pre- and post-wedding activities while the most important part, the ceremony gets overlooked.

Etsy Weddings Showcase
Earlier this year I told myself to head out and find new vendors to work with for my business and one of my first attempts to network outside my comfort zone was Etsy Weddings. By now everyone knows that Etsy has a Weddings category where thousands of sellers that specialize in that special day promote their one of a kind (OOAK), handmade and vintage wares. Well, Etsy also has a yearly event…

3 Thank You Note Alternatives
3 Thank You Note Alternatives
Sample Thank You Card I created from Hunter & Co. Designs at the Etsy Wedding event earlier this year. Are Thank You Notes a Thing of the Past? Not that I don’t agree that sending thank you notes to people who sent you gifts for your wedding (or Baby Shower or House Warming) shouldn’t be done. Not everyone can attend and they have no other way of knowing if you got the gift on time and in one…

POP ART Wedding Inspiration
POP ART Wedding Inspiration
Pop art is fun. It brings to mind colors, comic books and the 196os. So I thought why not put together a fun pop art wedding look perfect for a spring or summer wedding. Check out my Pinterest board below. Turns out I am not the first to come up with the idea. Kudos to those couples who created their own pop art weddings. They all looked like fun. Follow Excelsior Events, Inc.’s board Pop Art…

Hi,
I am Lashette Williams, a certified Minister, who is a licensed Officiant with the City of New York. While my specialties are secular, pagan and/or multicultural wedding ceremonies I am willing and able to work with you to give you the ceremony that you desire. As a non-denominational Minister, I am able to perform weddings, funerals, baby namings as well as many other life cycle events of a religious, nonreligious or interreligious nature. I welcome all races, genders, religions, spiritualities, ethnicities, nationalities and cultures without prejudice and with respect.
My goal is to give you the ceremony that would make you happiest. With this goal and an open mind, no ceremony I create is the same. All are tailored with you and your moment in mind from the initial consultation to the ceremony itself; from my time of arrival to my outfit. My fee starts at $200 which includes an in-person consultation (if possible), unlimited email correspondence, a tailored-to-you ceremony both email and hard-copy, the ceremony taking place within NYC, and the signing and mailing of your marriage license. We can discuss add-ons when we meet.
Please contact me for my license registration number, if you have any questions or if you would like to set up a consultation at [email protected].
