Quickie Ceremony FAQ

Want Something More Personal?

The Signature Ceremony ($800) is a fully customized 15-25 minute ceremony built around your love story. Schwa interviews you both, writes the whole thing from scratch, and performs it with theatrical polish. Religious, spiritual, or nonreligious. Unity ceremonies. Cultural traditions. Unlimited editing until it's perfect.

"Multiple people asked us how long we had known Schwa, which is a true testament to how thorough they are." — Connor Carpenter
