I only book one ceremony per day, I dont think it is fair on my couples to think i might have to be travelling between venues which might be a long way apart . I dont want to stress my couples on their very important day and I always like tobe early at the venue and not leave it to the last minute

It depends on the timing and the distance between the two weddings.. I would do two if there was enough time between them to allow me to arrive at the second wedding at least half an hour before the ceremony is due to begin.

I perform only one wedding per day to prevent stress on the bride and myself.  I like to give the couple my full attention to detail.

Hi there....  I usually do just one on any given day, but have sometimes done 2 (Valentines Day and New Years Eve are busy days!!)  I like to allow a 4 to 5 hour space between ceremonies to allow ample time between for changing, winding down and getting there.

hello.  I try to only book one wedding on any given day.  However I had two earlier this year.  I had been on a long holiday and both brides were wanting my services and booked my first Saturday back.  There were many hours inbetween which allowed me time to go home and change so I was totally different in appearance for photos.  I have also booked a ceremony (non wedding ) and a wedding but again, one in morning and one late afternoon

cheers. Lee

I have only ever booked one ceremony per day however coming up soon, I will be doing two:  one in the morning &  the other in the afternoon.  This will help me to determine if I will ever do it again...stay tuned.

Hi 

I only like to do one ceremony a day! 

I like to focus on that one couple on their special day

That is a very good question. I notice that most celebrants here are stating they would only accept one booking per day, which is reasonable. However, I find that I am getting more requests for morning and evening weddings lately, which is fantastic!  So I find that as long as I have several hours between ceremonies (and the locations make it possible) I can accommodate more than one ceremony in a day. 

However, I always ensure that all parties are aware of my other commitments, so that we are all on the same page.  I would never book ceremonies back-to-back unless I am confident that there was enough time to get from one to another (even allowing for extreme delays), as I don't feel it's fair to put couples under that sort of pressure on their big day - or myself!

Hi.  I find it better to do only 1 per day as you can then give all your attention and energy to the couple but having said that I have done on the odd occasion 2 on a day.  There were extenuating circumstances and so I fitted them into a day with quite a break in between. Donna Lovelady

Hello,

I only ever do one wedding per day. I feel you should give 100% to the couple that have booked you for their day. I hate clock watching so I would never book 2 on the same day.
