About Hours and Minutes: Wedding Ceremony Writing Services

Hours and Minutes: Wedding Ceremony Writing Services

Founder

Wedding ceremonies can be an open slate—a chance to showcase who you are as a couple. While that’s exciting, it can also be intimidating (especially in the thick of wedding planning!). That’s where Hours and Minutes come in. Shannon believes that we live our lives far more in the hours and minutes—the small moments that make up each day—rather than the big, easier-to-reach-for memories of months and years. After learning more about your everyday lives—your habits, humor, and quirks—Shannon writes a reading for your ceremony. There are two ways Shannon gets to know you—through a written questionnaire and a 60 minute zoom conversation.

I know firsthand what it’s like to want a ceremony that feels unique and intentional. That’s what lead me to write an “hours and minutes “ piece for my own wedding. It filled me up to put so many facets of our relationship into words, and sharing it with all of our wedding guests— and the intimacy that created—was even better. All night long, guests told me and my husband how meaningful our ceremony was. That’s what inspired me to offer this service to others. Everyone deserves to share a portrait of their unique brand of love on their wedding day. I can't wait to tell the story of your Hours and Minutes!

In three words: Creative, Empathetic, Fun

While a great piece of writing comes from the questionnaire alone, having a face-to-face conversation allows Shannon to pick up on even more details and get a greater sense of your personality and vibe. This tier also includes one round of edits. Feedback for the edits can be provided to Shannon via email or zoom.

Ceremony Consultation Services

This tier is meant for couples looking for more comprehensive guidance on building out their ceremony. This includes two 60 minute zoom meetings. We’ll discuss your shared values as a couple and identify the 3-5 most resonant. After that, Shannon will compile options for readings, music, and other ways to frame and present each value. During the second zoom meeting, we’ll discuss the ideas for each value and flesh out how it will all come together in your ceremony.
