FAQ's

Do you personalize wedding ceremonies? 

Absolutely! We want your ceremony to sound like you. We will talk about your relationship, your personalities, the tone you want to set during your ceremony and anything you want or don't want included. 

​

Can you officiate a short and simple ceremony? 

Your ceremony doesn't have to be long or elaborate to be meaningful. We can create something short and sweet or something more personalized and story-driven. 

​

Do you handle the marriage license for us? 

The Gathering Goose completes the officiant portion of your marriage license and depending on the services you select, return the completed license to the appropriate county office after your ceremony. You will still be responsible for obtaining the marriage license beforehand and requesting any copies after completion. 

​

Can we write our own vows? 

Absolutely!!! You can write your own, use traditional vows, repeat vows after me, or do a combination of both! We will talk through what feels most comfortable for you and your partner.
