The Shenandoah Package at AWC $1750.00
For a truly memorable and personalized wedding, our Shenandoah Package is our most popular option. We begin with a questionnaire which asks: What do you love most about your partner? and What does marriage mean to you? From these, and other questions like them, we craft a ceremony that quite often reflects your own words back, making it uniquely yours.
The inclusion of a unity ceremony or handfasting is another way couples give their wedding a personal touch. The Shenandoah Package includes any of the wide variety of special ceremonies we perform. Have a special cultural ceremony you’d like to add? We’re happy to perform the ceremony at no additional charge.
The addition of a stone-blessing can be a great way to bring family and friends into the ceremony. Let your inner (or outer) Irish shine with a Celtic Handfasting – one of our most popular wedding ceremonies. Create a lasting memento of your blended family with a tree-planting or unity glass ceremony. Combine brightly colored sands with your children to create a unique artistic memento you’ll treasure forever. The Shenandoah Package includes not only the unity ceremonies we perform, but also the necessary ceremonial accessories we carry in our Boutique: Hand-fasting cords, drinking vessels, two-spout wedding vases, teapots, hand-carved spoons and spades, and more; all locally crafted, and perfect for your special wedding.
