Person to perform a symbolic ceremony?

[rootkl]

Does anyone have a recommendation of a person to use locally for a symbolic ceremony? We would literally just need someone to read through the ceremony that we pick out. Or has anyone just picked a family member to do it? I have read reviews of the person on-site and it seems that he isn't very easy to understand and I just attended a destination wedding and realized that this is something that is really important to me. Ideas welcome?

We've asked a family friend to do it. He's one of those really personaable, entertaining kind of guys... Can really command a room. He was my step-dad's Best Man and MC, so we thought it would be great to ask him to perform our ceremony. First time I've ever seen him speechless.

 

We also wrote our script, so he can prepare ahead of time.
