How to Read a Wedding Ceremony Script

I’m sharing Mark Allan Groleau’s guide because an officiant does not need to memorize an entire ceremony to deliver it well. Mark demonstrates how large type, balanced line lengths, deliberate line breaks, eye contact, and a hands-free microphone can make a written script sound natural.

This is useful for anyone who feels trapped behind the page while officiating. The practical formatting choices let you find your place quickly, look up more often, and speak to the couple and their guests instead of simply reading at them.
