You did a wonderful service and added immensely to the intimacy and warmth that everyone felt that day. You hold a very special place in my heart and I thank you so much for being a part of our most special day. — Dana and Peter

We received many compliments on what a beautiful ceremony it was and how well it was delivered. It was a wonderful day and you really made it special. Your humour was a great touch!! We appreciate all the hard work you put into making it just right. You are really great at what you do. -- Melanie and Earl
Ray was the perfect Officiant for our perfect day. He helped us create and personalize a ceremony that represented us and our relationship and was there with advice every step of the way.
His professionalism with our families and guests and his conducting of our ceremony and rehearsal made everything run smoothly and go so perfectly! He is just the nicest man on earth!
It`s one thing to provide the services needed; its another thing to do what you do. From the moment we met you we knew we were in the best hands. You were so helpful guiding us through the process… you went above and beyond to make sure that our day went perfectly, and coming up with ideas none of us had even thought of. You had the crowd laughing and crying throughout the whole ceremony. I will be recommending you to everyone I know and we can’t thank you enough. Sincerely Kristina and Jake
We were so glad to have Ray as a part of our special day. He was definitely a calming and knowledgeable presence throughout the entire planning process. He crafted a ceremony to reflect our relationship, and added many personal touches. Anyone can tell he loves what he does, and truly believes in marriage. I highly recommend him! – Katie

Introduction
Sensational weddings ought to pique intense interest, excite, stir incurable emotion and build unforgettable memories.
Having just arrived at a venue for a wedding, I was surprised with the upset of the ceremony coordinator concerning the previous wedding. She couldn’t get over the fact that the Officiant had not been heard, even with the provision of a microphone. Either the sound equipment was inadequate or its use had been incompetent. Sometimes music selection leaves much to be desired as well. Wise couples do not leave these things to others. Careful oversight is essential. This book provides the knowledge and skills to do this well.
In fact, the Sensational Wedding Series provides everything you need to know for a do-it-yourself wedding, or how to select and work with the wedding professionals you need. It’s all here in a collection of concise and inexpensive books that could save you thousands of dollars and untold grief. You’ll learn what you need to create a sensational wedding, a sensational rehearsal, sensational add-on ceremonies, sensational sound and music, and sensational self-directed pre-marital counselling. It’s all here in a collection of concise and fact filled books that could save you thousands of dollars and untold grief. Invest in the quality of your wedding. Purchase the Sensational Wedding Series—inexpensive guides to a sensational wedding experience.
MUSIC IS EAR CANDY
A wedding is a performance—words and actions in atmosphere. Atmosphere is a function of physical location and enriching sound. Thus the intense interest couples have in the eye candy of stimulating venues. After all, the wedding must be held somewhere adequate to the number of guests, and it should be pleasing to them, provide for their comfort and be complimentary to your wedding. The felt need for this eye candy is self-evident because it is tangible and attracts embellishment with things--chairs, ribbons, drapery, lighting, floral displays…. Ear candy, though contributing no less, is less in your face. The ear candy of pleasing sound and inspiring music can fill the air of a venue with anticipation that something important is about to happen, and emotion to match the meaning of the event. This can perhaps provide more value to your wedding as it breathes richness into the space, even for less than perfect venues. Yet, because less tangible, sound and music often do not command the same attention from wedding couples as does their search for the perfect location and décor. I personally find it disappointing to enter sumptuous spaces that, due to silence that is deafening or music that inappropriate, feel hollow and uninviting rather that warm and welcoming. Even elegant locations may disappoint if the atmosphere is not conditioned to the meaning of the occasion by appropriate sound enhancement. Here is where the music of love fits in, as well as security that the sound will be pleasing, adequate and appropriate to the occasion. So, music and sound prove to be essential in providing effective performance of a wedding ceremony that communicates all the wonder of its meaning and emotion. This is not a time
