The number one mistake Tanya sees couples make when planning their wedding is not thinking about their ceremony until the last minute. The ceremony is the reason why everyone is truly there, so it needs to be a priority. That said, ceremonies should be 30 minutes or less—30 minutes of magical, memorable moments.
A fear of public speaking is very common, and this can make creating and reciting your vows really tough. Tanya works with her clients closely in writing and practicing their vows. She helps her clients cultivate confidence in speaking their own written words. This allows her clients to clearly convey their love and emotions during their ceremony.

Tanya doesn’t just work with couples. She also officiates, works with other officiants, and also supports family members and friends who have an upcoming speech for a wedding. Ultimately, the couple should always have the final say and maintain control of planning their ceremony.
Tanya emphasizes planning as much ahead as possible for a blissful wedding. There are important details you don’t want to overlook, especially when it comes to your ceremony. To cap off the episode, Tanya shares one of her most memorable experiences working with a couple—one that ended in a shocking twist. It’s a story you have to hear to believe.
