What is the Love Story Ceremony?
The Love Story Ceremony allows couples to celebrate their love and union. To accomplish this, I write the story of your love and share it as part of your ceremony. Through a relationship questionnaire, and early access to your script, you get a clear vision of what your ceremony will look and feel like. I also guide you step-by-step through each ceremony element, presenting you with options. This way you can add personal touches, intention, and meaning to your ceremony.
What is included?
The ceremony generally consists of opening remarks, the couple’s love story, marriage reflection, declaration of consent, vows, unity ritual, ring exchange, pronouncement, and presentation. The length of the ceremony varies depending on the elements you keep, but usually ranges between 15-25 minutes.
The ceremony fee is $797 and includes:
- Initial thorough video consultation
- Completion and filing of your marriage license with the County Clerk
- Early access to ceremony script for your review & approval
- Virtual ceremony walkthrough and script run-through
- Fully personalized ceremony (no customization limits)
- Options to choose from for your ceremony elements (to add intention and meaning)
- Relationship questionnaire (used to craft your love story)
- Unlimited communication and support until submission of marriage license
- Collaboration with your wedding vendors for optimal ceremony flow
- Early arrival at ceremony site
- Free travel (within 20-mile radius of Sacramento)
We chose Norma because of her personality and presence experienced during the video consultation when we first met.
And while I was nervous to see how Norma would create our wedding story, I was so happy and excited once I read the script. I cried! Couples looking to work with her should know that they can trust her and the process. Everything will turn out perfectly!

Your story of love is an expression of who you are as individuals and who you became as partners. Your lives were forever changed the moment your paths crossed. And many things had to align for you to soon say “I do” to your one true love.
That is why it is my priority to create a ceremony script that is special and memorable for you and your partner. And to treat your wedding ceremony like it is one of a kind. Because it is!
If you’re ready to connect, please schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
