On the day of the Wedding

It is very important that a rehearsal takes place  prior to the actual wedding.

 

The purpose of this rehearsal is to ensure that the couple know where to stand, what to say, and when to say it. This is is also a great opportunity to settle any nerves.

Oceana will arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to ceremony starting.  She will set up the PA system and connect with the musician, photogrpher, groom, and all necessary people involved in the ceremony.
