Russian Orthodox weddings are longer, slower, and heavier than most: the Slavonic chant filling a cathedral dome, the ventsy held high above the couple's heads through the entire service, a hundred candles moving in procession.

Frequently Asked
About the Russian rite.
How long is a Russian Orthodox wedding?
The wedding service itself usually takes about an hour, like other Orthodox weddings. It runs longer only when it is celebrated within a Divine Liturgy. The Slavonic chant and the ventsy held aloft the whole time give it a deliberate, unhurried feel.
Do you travel?
Yes. In-state (Arizona) is our all-day rate; out-of-state is a custom quote starting from $6,000 that covers travel and accommodations.
How long before we see the photos?
Sneak peeks arrive within 48 hours, and the full gallery follows within six to eight weeks.
