I have heard stories about many planners persuading against a religious ceremony because they think it is too difficult or too much work !
I love arranging our church weddings and feel that we have gained so much experience in the past to say we are leading experts in the field. I often say I could become a priest given the number of church ceremonies I have assisted with !
All it takes is experience, knowledge and lots of love and care.
