Traditional Marriages

There was a time when traditional marriages took place in churches, led by male clergy, and were exclusively between a man and a woman. Times have changed. Today, traditional marriages happen in a variety of venues across the globe. Discrimination against interracial couples is a thing of the past, and ceremonies are now often officiated by female clergy.

That may be the past, but we understand that your wedding day is all about you! It’s your time to shine, and here at The DC Marriage Knot, we’re dedicated to making your traditional marriage everything you dream of and more. We want to help turn your vision for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion into reality.

Planning the perfect wedding means focusing on all the little details. It can be fun but also a bit stressful, with plenty of questions along the way. What should you wear? Where should the wedding take place? How long should the ceremony be? Should you write your own vows or customize pre-written ones?

At The DC Marriage Knot, we have the knowledge, experience, and resources to make your ceremony a success. From start to finish, our ceremony workbook will guide you in scripting a ceremony that reflects who you are and the love you share.

To ensure your wedding is as seamless as it is special, we’ll also recommend award-winning wedding planners to help guide you through the entire planning process.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us at The DC Marriage Knot or send us an email. We’d love to help sculpt your traditional marriage in D.C., Maryland, or Northern Virginia into a truly unforgettable celebration.
