Interview Questions to Ask Your Brooklyn Wedding Officiant

Whoever you choose as your officiant, you will want to meet with them to be sure they are a good match for you and your spouse, since you will be working with the officiant throughout the planning process and the ceremony. Wedding days are stressful enough; you want to know what the officiant is going to say beforehand and what your vows are going to be. Don’t settle for the officiant handing you a ceremony and telling you to show up! Ask questions and be involved in the planning of the ceremony.

These are a few of the questions you will want to ask your Brooklyn wedding officiant:

    “Will you let us customize the ceremony?” (Many civil or religious officiants can be unwilling to waver from their routines or doctrine.)
    “Will you stick to the agreed-upon ceremony and not go off script?”
    “Will you return our license to the office of the registrar after the ceremony is performed?”
    If using a minister, you should ask if they are willing to marry couples of different faiths.
