This leads to an original ceremony that not only tells their love story but celebrates the ESSENCE of who they are individually and as a couple.<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59536\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/LaurenLaughing.jpg\" alt=\"lauren sneed wedding officiant sacramento\" width=\"750\" height=\"938\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>What do you love most about working with couples? <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">I truly enjoy getting to know each couple and celebrating their love. I especially love helping couples get clear on how they want to FEEL on their wedding day, and supporting them on their emotional journey throughout the process.<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59537\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/Sentimental-Jason-Harley.jpg\" alt=\"sacramento wedding\" width=\"910\" height=\"610\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>How do you tailor each ceremony to be unique to each couple?<\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">By taking the time to truly get to know couples; their passions, their values, what they love about their partners, and what this marriage means for them. This becomes the inspiration for an original ceremony that truly celebrates the essence of who they are!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>What piece of advice would you give brides and grooms to ensure that they hire an officiant that helps make their wedding ceremony the best it can be?<\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">I would give this advice for ANY decision along their wedding journey, including choosing a wedding officiant: Ask yourself how you want to FEEL on your wedding day (for example: happy, present, loved). Once you get clear on that, anytime you are making a decision, ask yourself if that decision makes you feel MORE of how you want to feel&#8230;or not. To put a fine point on it, if you meet with a Wedding Officiant and you feel more of how you want to feel, plus they resonate with your values and vision, then I would say you&#8217;ve found a keeper! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-59539 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/Spontaneous-Chelsea-Nick-e1559689663810.jpg\" alt=\"wedding ceremony\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>What has been your biggest wedding day challenge?<\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Weather and location. For example, beach weddings are so romantic, but the sound of the waves can be overpowering and the open beach can feel a bit too expansive (versus an intimate ceremony in the middle of a Redwood Grove). Another example: sunshine beating down on the wedding party and\/or on the guests. Anything that makes the guests or wedding party uncomfortable weather-wise can be a real challenge.<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59540\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/Explore-Julie-Quinn.jpg\" alt=\"northern california officiant\" width=\"1131\" height=\"754\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>Do you have any must-have moments to include during wedding ceremonies? <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">I am a fan of ring warmings, group vows and the wine box ritual. If you&#8217;d like to learn more about any of those sentimental, romantic and very powerful rituals, give me a shout! They are amazing!! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\">I<b>f you weren\u2019t an officiant, what would you be doing? <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Hmm&#8230;talk show host or inspirational speaker.

Who wouldn&#8217;t want to feel more JOY on their wedding day?! An app that can help create more EASE and more JOY in anyone&#8217;s wedding journey is very valuable! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s2\"><b>At Joy we believe that even though a wedding lasts a day, joy should last forever. What does that mean to you?<\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">I believe that joy comes from being our true, authentic selves, making decisions that are powered by our values and saying YES to people, experiences and feelings that light us up! Living a life that is filled with joy starts with the simple decision to be more true to ourselves, who we authentically are and what we believe in. Planning your wedding is a great time to practice this, and is certainly an approach to life that you can take with everywhere you go!
