Five Ways to Calm Ceremony Nerves

I share five things I still do when nerves appear before a wedding: wear something that makes me feel ready, take a little time alone, physically release the adrenaline, control my breathing, and check in with the other vendors. Experience has not made preparation unnecessary.

I made this to give officiants a routine they can actually use in the final minutes before a ceremony. Try the techniques that fit you, repeat them enough to make them familiar, and arrive in front of the couple focused rather than fighting your own stress.
