Wedding Counselors are consulted by couples planning to wed in church or from a justice of the peace. They are responsible for presenting to the couples the rewarding experience of a married life, the expected pitfalls they should be careful about as well as the wedding options and associated costs involved. It is often advisable that couples seeking wedding counseling form within their religion. Some churches require couples to undergo wedding or marriage counseling before finalizing the planned church wedding.
