Your Ceremony, Your Voice
Every couple deserves a ceremony that sounds like them. Because of that, we learn your story, your personality, and the moments that shaped your relationship. We welcome all couples with open arms and without judgment. Your ceremony should reflect your values, not ours.

How to Get Started
Planning is simple. First, contact us with your date and your intention to marry at Grand Tradition. After that, we will confirm availability and schedule a friendly interview so we can learn your vision and answer your questions. During this conversation you will receive access to our Ceremony Handbook, which explains every option in a clear and stress free way. The handbook replaces guesswork and helps you choose readings, vows, and special elements that fit your style. From that point on, you will have our support and guidance through every step of the planning process.
