How do you want your wedding to feel?

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. You spend many months planning the perfect day and fretting every detail from the color of linens to that perfect location. But, what about your ceremony?

Whether it is something that you've dreamed about for years, or one more detail you hadn't thought about until now, your ceremony should celebrate your union, touch your heart, and inspire your loved ones.

Be it simple or lavish, or somewhere in between, I can help you realize your vision by working with you to make your ceremony reflect who you are as a couple. I will also make sure that your ceremony includes traditions meaningful to you, delivered with the respect and the dignity that they deserve.  Plus, I will introduce you to other traditions, ones you may never have heard of, as one more way to make your ceremony truly YOU!

The decision to join your lives and hearts by making a lifelong commitment to one another is a most momentous occasion, which means that it is more than just doing what needs to be done to make it legal.  It is about celebrating your relationship, in front of those who matter to you, and it is doing so in a way that is special and meaningful to you, and to those you have asked ot share that day with you!

I look forward to working with the two of you - and together we will create something that truly celebrates your relationship, as we reflect your feelings for each other and include your desired traditions and messages.

Sincerely, Bethel Nathan
