Sign-up for a Swift Hitch by completing this form. Only your name, email, and first and second choice dates are required. We'd like to know your selections for the others...but you're not locked into anything.
Step 1: Select Your Date and Time
Swift Hitches can be scheduled for morning or evening. The morning hitch is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and the evening hitch is 6:30-9:30 p.m.
For the morning hitch, you and your fiance arrive at 9:30 a.m. to start getting ready in your separate suites. Ceremony starts at 10:30, followed by your Champagne toast and cake reception at 11:30 a.m.
for the evening hitch, you and your fiance arrive at 6:30 p.m. to start getting ready in your separate suites. Ceremony starts at 7:30, followed by your Champagne toast and cake reception at 8:30 p.m.
NOTE: Most Hitches occur Sunday-Friday. Saturdays are often reserved for traditional weddings at Eight Leafed Clover, so please be sure that at least one (if not both) of your choices are not Saturdays!
Step 2: Select Your Style
We do all the decorating for you! Simply select your style, and we'll decorate the gazebo and cake table to coordinate.
Step 5: Photography
Belle & Bee Photography will take "getting-ready" pictures, the ceremony, formal family pictures, and reception pictures. Your package will include 130 professional electronic images.
Step 6: The Officiant
Dr. Sarah Rainey-Smithback will be your officiant. She is the co-owner of Eight Leafed Clover, and she is also the Director of Religious Education at Maumee Valley Unitarian Universalist Congregation. She offers both religious and secular ceremonies.
