Using our full-length template ceremony, we take you step-by-step through customizing as much or as little as you’d like so that on the big day your ceremony can be as perfect as you are for each other.
In this 50 page toolkit we’ve covered everything you need to personalize your wedding ceremony. Plus we’ve included a Word document so that you can start with your edits quickly and easily.
The Ceremony — After over ten years of working with hundreds of clients and creating unique ceremonies, we’ve learned what works and have created a customizable ceremony that’s truly unique. The beauty is in its flexibility. There are sections designed to be personalized, readings can be swapped out for ones that are more meaningful to you, the ring exchange can be designed to your liking, and we have entire rituals — like hand-fasting or wine blending — that can be added as you like.
The Sidebar — Here’s where our years of experience really shine. Every single page of the ceremony has pointers on how to make this ceremony uniquely yours. We walk you through editing the entire ceremony with suggestions, tips, in some cases fun wedding trivia, so that by the time you’re done your ceremony will be a beautiful reflection of you as individuals and as a couple.
The Options —We’ve provided alternate readings, alternate formats for the ring exchange, and suggestions for additions to make sure your personalities really shine through. If you’re looking for more quotes and passages on love, you’ll find more free downloads with some of our favorites in our store.
While we’ve included everything you need to make this ceremony truly yours, we’ve also included some bonuses to help inspire the editing process and make sure everything goes smoothly on the big day.
Your Officiant — From how to ask someone to be your officiant to speaking tips for a first time officiant, we’ve covered all the basics. We’ve even included some suggestions for the officiant for how to write a poignant introduction to the ceremony so that their personality can shine through while they’re delivering this unique ceremony.
FAQs — So. Many. Questions! Everyone has questions when it comes to their wedding ceremony, and we’ve done our best to answer as many as we can… from marriage licenses to wedding planners we dole out some of the knowledge we’ve learned over the years.

Founded in 2010, Vow Muse combines the creative energy of Alicia Ostarello, Angie Sommer, and Tami Weiss. We’ve helped hundreds of people express their love in writing (you can read some of their kind words here) through our collaborative process. We’ve been featured in The New York Times, WSJ, Brides, Good Morning America, Marketplace, and more!
Over the years we’ve heard from folks who want to write their vows, ceremony or speech on their own or who can’t afford the full-service options… which is why we decided to create these toolkits! Because we believe that expressing your love in writing should be accessible to everyone.
We offer a fresh take on old traditions so that the results feel brilliantly just like you.
