I get many people who try to do their wedding rehearsal by themselves (no coordinator or minister present) but do not know the order of the ceremony. Some do a very good job but many times I find I need to change things on the day of the ceremony. I usually show up early the day of the ceremony and go over the wedding with the bride and groom separatley if I was not present at the rehearal. Usually, there are minor issues that need to be ironed out, sometimes it is more. Here is a link to a sample wedding rehearsal performed by one of the ministers from Foothills Chapel in Colorado. It is not a full rehearsal but it will give you a sense of what needs to be discussed and perhaps will help you make your decision on hiring a professonal for your rehearsal. Remember, if you have your minister conduct the rehearsal, you will still need someone in the back to coordinate the party on your wedding day as the minister will be in he front during the ceremony.
