Wedding & Commitment Ceremonies

There are so many humans in this world.
When you find the one who is willing to do forever with you — as you are, and as they are — that is something worth honoring.I officiate weddings and commitment ceremonies for couples who want their union witnessed with intention, warmth, and sincerity — without performance, pressure, or permission from anyone else. Your ceremony does not exist to meet expectations or satisfy tradition. It exists to mark a choice that belongs to you.Every ceremony I offer is written specifically for the people standing in front of me. The language reflects your relationship, your values, and the life you are choosing to build together.

I work with:~ Couples of all identities ~~ First marriages, second marriages, and renewals ~~ Commitment ceremonies with or without legal components ~~ Blended families and evolving partnerships ~Spiritual language is welcome here. Religious elements can be included if they are meaningful to you — but nothing is imposed. This is about witnessing love as it exists, not shaping it into something it is not.

This ceremony belongs to you.

Every Ceremony Is Different

These moments belong to the people in them.

How I Hold Ceremony

I approach ceremony as an act of witnessing — not performance.My role is to listen carefully, speak honestly, and hold space for the moment you are choosing to mark. I take the time to understand who you are as individuals, how you move together in the world, and what this commitment truly means to you.I don’t believe in scripts pulled from a drawer or ceremonies shaped by expectation. Every ceremony is written intentionally, using language that feels natural to you and honors the life you are choosing to build together.

On the day itself, my presence is calm and grounded. I guide the ceremony without pulling focus, allowing the moment to belong to the people standing in it. Emotion is welcome here — joy, nerves, laughter, tears — all of it has a place, and none of it needs to be managed or performed.This work is about care, presence, and respect. It’s about taking something deeply personal and holding it with steadiness.

Spiritual, Not Dogmatic

I believe ceremony should reflect the people standing in it — their values, their language, and the meaning they place on the moment. Spiritual elements are welcome here, whether that looks like intention-setting, symbolism, prayer, or quiet reflection.Religious traditions can be included when they are meaningful to you. They are never assumed, required, or imposed.This space is open to couples who are spiritual, secular, questioning, interfaith, or somewhere in between. You don’t need to share a belief system to share a life — and your ceremony should honor that truth.

What to Expect

Every ceremony begins with a conversation.This is a space to talk about who you are, what you’re building together, and what feels meaningful to you. We’ll discuss logistics as well as intention — not to create something complicated, but to ensure the ceremony reflects you honestly.From there, I write the ceremony with care, using language that feels natural and aligned with your relationship. You’ll have the opportunity to review and refine it, so nothing feels unfamiliar or imposed.On the day itself, my role is steady and supportive. I guide the ceremony calmly, allowing the moment to unfold without rush or performance. The focus stays where it belongs — on the commitment being witnessed.

Life-Honoring Remembrance

In addition to weddings and commitment ceremonies, I also offer life-honoring remembrance ceremonies for those seeking a non-religious way to gather and mark a life that has been lived.These ceremonies are centered on presence, memory, and meaning — not doctrine or prescription. They may include reflection, storytelling, symbolism, or quiet moments of gratitude, shaped gently around the people gathered and the life being honored.Grief may be present, and it is always respected. The focus, however, remains on honoring the life, the love shared, and the legacy carried forward.Each remembrance ceremony is approached with the same care, intention, and steadiness as any other threshold moment.

Investment & Travel

Ceremony is personal, and the investment reflects that.Pricing varies based on the type of ceremony, the level of preparation involved, and any travel required. Because each ceremony is custom, I don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages.I am fully licensed to officiate nationwide and welcome travel. Travel details and any associated costs are discussed openly during our conversation, so there are no surprises.If you’re unsure what you need or what to ask for yet, that’s okay. We’ll talk it through and determine what feels right for your ceremony.

Reach out when it feels right.
