About Ann Poole Weddings...
Romantic, Memorable Wedding Ceremonies Written "Just For Each Couple"... $300
"I liked getting married outside because it was more than a ritual...
it was an experience. We had all of that natural beauty which augmented
the uniqueness of the ceremony. It was much more than a service or a performance;
more real, more focused, heightening our awareness. It helped both of us
realize the joy of our commitment. I will never forget
how Thomas looked, with the breeze ruffling through his hair
and the look of love in his eyes."
__ Pat JacobsDream weddings can become a reality if the heart of your service is a carefully written ceremony that is specially designed "Just For You." Your ceremony will show your beliefs and dreams to the gathering of friends and loved ones that you have brought together for the celebration of your love. Creation of your personalized ceremony evolves from your connection to one another and the my understanding of that bond.
Experienced in writing traditional and contemporary wedding and vow renewal ceremonies that can be religious or non-religious and are always romantic. I enjoy the challenge of writing interfaith/intercultural wedding ceremonies and developing services that blend families and cultures. Ceremonies that I write are from the heart... yours and mine. With over 20 years as a writer, it gives me joy to use my skills to develop ceremonies that provide the promises and dreams for each couple's Wedding Day.
Bilingual Wedding Ceremonies...
I will gladly provide a bilingual wedding ceremony; provided in English as well as Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Russian, Japanese, Korean or Chinese. I have also provided ceremonies for people with hearing loss and worked with Interperaters for the Deaf.
My Wedding Gifts for each couple that I write a ceremony for...

A Wedding License
You can purchase a Wedding License at any County Recorders Office in the State of California and it is good for 90 days anywhere within the State. You both need to go together to purchase the license. You must both be over 18 years old and will need identification; drivers license, passport or Military ID. Here is a link to California County Recorders offices.
For your convenience, I am a Notary and can issue Wedding License's for $60. I do not charge a Notary Fee. Both people applying for a wedding license must be over 18 years of age. You do not have to be a California resident. You do need to bring a photo ID; a driver's license, passport or military ID. The link button below, titled "Request Form for Confidential Marriage License," is the information that I will need if I provide your license.
Cancellation Policy/Late Arrival and Changing a Ceremony or Photography Booking Date
My services are charged to your credit card when you book your ceremony. I understand that plans and timelines can change. If you need to cancel your wedding date, you will receive the amount of the wedding service (and wedding license if purchased and not yet filled out for you) less $100 which is a non-refundable portion of your service for holding a date and time. The gifts of photography, little cake, champagne or apple cider, champagne flutes and decorative certificate of marriage that I like to give to each couple are simply gifts; they are free and you are not purchasing them. I do my best to provide pictures that you can enjoy... but I am not a professional photographer and do not guarantee their quality or existance.
Because I often have several weddings on a given day, I need to stay on schedule. It is important that you and your wedding party meet me at the time that we have scheduled. If, FOR ANY REASON our scheduled start time is delayed more than 10 minutes and I can accommodate your schedule change, there will be a fee of $1 per minute for waiting time until we can begin. This additional fee is payable in cash on the day of the event. If I cannot accommodate your time change, you may choose to reschedule another time for your event.
"I thoroughly enjoy designing and officiating ceremonies and would like to hear about your plans. Let me show you how I can enhance the celebration of your love for each other; this formal beginning of your life together. It can be unique... setting it aside from standard ceremonies and as outlandish as you want it to be or it can be a traditional ceremony with personalization. What would make this day special for you?"__ Rev. Ann Poole
