What type of gift can you give the spouse that has everything? Something from the heart that they will be talking about for a long, long time.

We are in uncertain times and sharing your love with the person you are married to is more important than ever. One great way to let them know how much you still love them is by renewing your vows. Keep it a secret -- and the surprise will add to the emotional enjoyment for both of you.

When is the right time to renew your vows? Anytime! We have had couples that renew their vows after one year of marriage and others that choose to do it after several decades of being together.

Our renewal packages are available within Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. The package includes:

• Non-Denomonational Wedding Officiant (will assist with writing your vows, discuss ceremony with you over the phone and by email - or in person)
• Wedding Photographer (includes photos of site before you enter the room, photos of the ceremony and wedding photos after the ceremony in various locations around the prooperty)
• Music (we can download your favorite song to be playing upon entering the room or use our own special mix of classical compositions)
• Decoration of ceremony site (during the Winter Time, ceremonies take place indoors in your hotel suite) including 20 LED flickering candles, 400 red rose petals, and 4 sets of one dozen roses
• Bridal Bouquet and Boutonniere
• Decoration of your hotel bedroom (after the ceremony has concluded and you head off to dinner, we will return to the room to decorate with a romantic ambiance for your "wedding night.")

Package rates start at $750 (plus the cost of the hotel room). We will assist you in finding the perfect place to stay and hold the ceremony (typically a one bedroom suite).You can also book items ala carte (e.g. not doing the room decoration afterwards or not having a bridal bouqet). Our goal is to provide you with the exact ceremony that you want!

This package can only be booked by telephone by calling us at toll free 1.888.871.3248 ext 1. We love these ceremonies -- and it would be our honor to be a part of your special evening. Special Note: This has become so popular that we now feature it on our own separate site at www.weddingsinmonterey.com. You can find out about all of our renewal packages and ala carte options
