CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING TAOS FOR YOUR WEDDING

I’f you’re looking for a spiritual wedding ceremony filled with grace, love and joy, contact Rev. Karen to arrange an appointment to talk about the ceremony of your dreams.

Whatever your spiritual traditions and beliefs are, Rev. Karen works closely with you to ensure that your wedding ceremony is a unique reflection of your love, commitment and union. Her

desire is to co-create a personal and customized wedding service that honors your individuality and love.

Some couples like to create personalized content of the service, such as vows, readings, and rituals. Others ask Rev. Karen to draw on her experience to create the entire ceremony.

Rev. Karen’s style creates a relaxing atmosphere which allows the wedding party to fully experience the beauty and magic of the joining of two people in love.

You are encouraged to seek inner guidance about what will make your wedding a true unique reflection of the two of you.

In the planning meeting, Rev. Karen will enjoy the experience of getting to know you, and you will have the opportunity to learn more about the minister you have chosen for your

wedding. You will discuss your vision for your wedding ceremony; and review the ceremony elements including your vows, music selections and family involvement in the ceremony.

You will also complete and sign the Reservation form and pay your deposit. You will discuss your general plan and ideas for your ceremony location, date, attendants, rehearsal, style and

tone.

Rev. Karen will have many suggestions, ideas and recommendations for you to consider. She is happy to email you her Wedding Planning Guide prior to the meeting. She recommends that

you take a day off together just to focus on what you want your special ceremony to express.

Located in northern New Mexico, on the high-desert mesa at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is rich with art, steeped in history, and blessed with abundant natural beauty. Taos defines the Land of Enchantment.

Your wedding is guaranteed to be a memorable event when set in the beautiful surroundings of Taos. Choose from one of our spectacular natural landmarks, or any number of historical inns with lush gardens and traditional furnishings.

Every couple has a vision for their wedding day. Whatever your spiritual traditions and beliefs, Karen works closely with you to design a ceremony that reflects and honors your unique love.

Karen takes the time to get to know you and understand your vision. She offers suggestions for vows, readings, and rituals … or will assist you in creating your own.

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER AS YOU PLAN YOUR CEREMONY

Coordinating Your Wedding
