The rate a professional officiant charges reflects the time he spends on your project. So it assumes the level of quality of his or her service: the more time he or she spends preparing your ceremony, the more assurance you will have of personalization. Some celebrants may in fact use a general outline (of the “text with holes” type) that they personalize in a more or less summary manner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In fact, and even though the average secular ceremony lasts 30 minutes<\/strong>, the latest study on the officiating profession showed that a professional officiant spends between 25 and 50 hours<\/strong> to prepare and perform your ceremony.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
