| Yosemite Package
Our Services & Commitments
Part 1
(Go to Part 2)Our extremely popular Yosemite Package,
which is our basic package (to which any of our other package options can be added), consists of the following services and commitments to you for celebrating your special occasion: - Our services for your ceremony are provided at your choice of ANY of the seemingly infinite number of incredible, easily accessible locations ANYWHERE throughout Yosemite National Park (as acceptable, of course, to the Park Service), as well as at
scores of nearby, delightful locations outside of Yosemite. (An additional fee MAY apply for events held at locations requiring a fair amount of hiking, or at more distant locations outside of Yosemite.)
- We provide our “made easy” step-by-step planning for your event at this very unique venue of Yosemite. We have made the planning process quite simple and streamlined for couples ~ at a venue
which can otherwise pose some real challenges, given the various governmental and private entities here, as well as other factors unique to Yosemite. We provide careful guidance for quickly moving through all the logistics, with the goal of making your planning stress free for you, so that you and your guests can experience a joyous celebration on your special day! We receive comments such as:
- “You made it so easy for us to plan from so far away!”
- “Your responses to all of our questions were extremely helpful!”
- “Thanks for the quick reply.”
- “Our guests keep commenting about how much they liked our wedding!”
- Each wedding, marriage vow
renewal, or other special occasion (such as a baby dedication, baptism, communion service, or memorial service) is tremendously important to us. We are committed to getting back to you quickly with answers to your questions and with suggestions and guidance.
- We provide careful attention to detail for short-notice elopements or long-term planning, tailoring a Yosemite wedding package to meet your travel plans and budget.
- We draw
 from an abundance of local resources for flowers, music, photography, videography, receptions, picnic celebrations, formal wear, caterers, bakers, and lodging, etc. - We gladly offer guidance to any of your guests who may wish to contact us with questions regarding lodging, general Yosemite information, etc.
-
People are clearly concerned about the KIND of MINISTER they will have here in Yosemite, and specifically ask about it ~ and rightly so! The officiant for your wedding or other celebration will be an ORDAINED MINISTER ~ one of the important distinctions from the type of event where ceremonies are supplied by someone who has PURCHASED a MAIL-ORDER “minister certificate” to do
wedding jobs, and who adopts the label “non-denominational minister” and/or the title “Reverend” in order to promote that business. Couples are surprised to learn that “mail-order ministers” are found even here in Yosemite, not just in Vegas or Reno, AND that the true “credentials” of such an individual are typically not disclosed. Couples express to us that they definitely do NOT want that for their wedding ~ ONE of the reasons they are coming HERE and not going to Vegas or Reno in the first
place.
- We provide year round, incredibly beautiful Yosemite weddings and other special celebrations. These inspiring ceremonies have been enthusiastically received
 . In addition to using the usual elements of a Christian ceremony which refer to God and Christ we also
offer lots of ideas for incorporating your special personal touches if you wish to do so, such as writing your own vows that you say to each other, or adding favorite poetry, Yosemite-related readings (such as those by John Muir and others, which we can suggest to you if you wish), your thoughts about marriage and your unique relationship, special vows or comments to children, etc. We receive numerous comments from our Yosemite wedding couples, such as:
- “The ceremony was perfect!”
- “I cannot thank you enough for an absolutely perfect wedding ceremony! It was more than we could have ever imagined.”
- Please continue to Part 2.
