Marriage overseers you are considering should offer a free no-obligation meeting to talk about your ceremony. You should both be at the interview, and you should expect that it will take about an hour. Come prepared with questions. Confer with each other before the interview so you have common expectations about the ceremony you want. Here are some questions to ask a potential marriage overseer:
Are you legally qualified to perform a marriage in the location of the ceremony? How do you create my personalized ceremony? What is the process? What is your fee? What does it include... Or not include? What is in your contract? How much freedom does a couple have to do what they want in the ceremony? What interested you in doing this work? What do you like about being a marriage overseer? How long have you been doing this work?
How many marriages to you do in a year? Do you do more than one a day? Can I see a sample of your work... Video or written document? Can I check out your work with one or more of your past clients? Do you have back-up if you are sick or otherwise unable to be at the marriage?
You can also search the web, there are many people who advertise their services there and happen to be genuine and good ai too. So do not let this avenue to find the right person slip you without having a go at it. Once you have decided who you want after doing all this, arrange for a meet up with the person at a convenient venue and record on paper whatever the two of you will discuss.
Recommendations. The right ministers will have names of couples who he has overseen their ceremonies so that prospectful clients can seek reviews and from and get their experienced opinion on the minister. There are also wedding reviews sites that provide additional reviews and recommendations. Don't hire a Minister without reading and/or checking out references.
Keep in mind that you must have a budget for your marriage and it should have some room for adjustment either upwards or downwards. Ask if the minister can make it to any pre-wedding activities. The last thing you should do which also happens to be the most important is to communicate with him a week or two before the ceremony just to make that the plan is still on.
If you liked how the interview went and you want to hire the overseer, ask what the next steps are. It will probably be signing a contract and making a deposit to reserve your date on your overseer's calendar. Ask for a timeline of the overseer's ceremony preparation activities. If you decide to hire an overseer, do take the time to let any other overseers that you interviewed know that you selected someone else. It is helpful for an officiant to know you made a decision. A brief email is fine! You would be amazed how many people do not follow through with that courtesy
