About Ann Poole Weddings...

Romantic, Memorable Wedding Ceremonies Written "Just For Each Couple"... $300
or $250 if you or your guests are staying at Poole's Guesthouse two or more nights
or $225 for Sundays or midweek dates in Sunnyvale near San Jose.

Dream weddings can become a reality if the heart of your service is a carefully written ceremony that is specially designed "Just For You." Your ceremony will show your beliefs and dreams to the gathering of friends and loved ones that you have brought together for the celebration of your love. Creation of your personalized ceremony evolves from your connection to one another and the my understanding of that bond.

Experienced in writing traditional and contemporary wedding and vow renewal ceremonies that can be religious or non-religious and are always romantic. I enjoy the challenge of writing interfaith/intercultural wedding ceremonies and developing services that blend families. Ceremonies that I write are from the heart... yours and mine. With over 20 years as a writer, it gives me joy to use my skills to develop ceremonies that provide the promises and dreams for each couple's Wedding Day.

My Wedding Gifts for each couple that I write a ceremony for...

CHAMPAGNE FLUTES and a bottle of CHAMPAGNE or Sparkling Apple Cider for two.

A WEDDING CAKE FOR TWO; your choice of "White Victorian Lace" or "Chocolate Decadence".
Wedding Cake can be a yummy late night treat on a Romantic Honeymoon Night!

WEDDING DAY KEEPSAKES; A Copy of your Entire Wedding Ceremony and a Decorative Certificate of Marriage.

UNLIMITED DIGITAL WEDDING PHOTOS. Let us capture your Special Moments; both posed and casual. Pictures are provided on a CD so that you can easily print copies at a one hour photo. I mail your CD to you in the week following your ceremony. Or, if you are staying at Poole's Guesthouse, I can give you your Wedding CD that day plus two extra copies to share with family or friends.

Photographs are taken with a High Quality Sony Digital Camera. Taking pictures in my hobby; I am not a professional photographer. My desire, is to give you pictures that help reflect the special moments of your Wedding Day. I am always glad to recommend Professional Photographers and Videograhers in the area.

A Wedding License

You can purchase a Wedding License at any County Recorders Office in the State of California and it is good for 90 days anywhere within the State. You both need to go together to purchase the license. You must both be over 18 years old and will need identification; drivers license, passport or Military ID. Here is a link to California County Recorders offices.

For your convenience, I am a Notary and can issue Wedding License's for $60. Both people applying for a wedding license must be over 18 years of age. The link button below, titled "Request Form for Confidential Marriage License," is the information that I will need if I provide your license.

Cancellation Policy and Changing a Ceremony Booking Date

My services are charged to your credit card when you book your ceremony. I understand that plans and timelines can change. If you need to cancel your wedding date, you will receive the amount of the wedding service (and wedding license if purchased and not yet filled out for you) less $100 which is a non-refundable portion of your service for holding a date and time. The gifts of photography, little cake, champagne or apple cider, champagne flutes, copy of entire ceremony, and decorative certificate of marriage that I like to give to each couple are simply gifts; the are free and you are not purchasing them. I do my best to provide pictures that you can enjoy... but I am not a professional photographer and do not guarantee their quality or existance.

I schedule one hour for ceremonies. On the day of the ceremony, if the start time of the ceremony is delayed for any reason and I can accommodate your schedule change, there will be an additional charge of $60 per hour for my waiting time until the ceremony begins, payable in cash on the day of the event.

"I thoroughly enjoy designing and officiating ceremonies and would like to hear about your plans. Let me show you how I can enhance the celebration of your love for each other; this formal beginning of your life together. It can be unique... setting it aside from standard ceremonies and as outlandish as you want it to be or it can be a traditional ceremony with personalization. What would make this day special for you?"__ Rev. Ann Poole
