About
Do you want a wedding that is unlike those you've seen? Are you hoping your guests will come away feeling they've witnessed your love? From the "downright angelic!" to the "unique and beautiful", my work will clearly be "your" ceremony. As a Wedding Celebrant certified by the Celebrant USA Foundation, I find great delight in helping you create the wedding that is yours and yours alone. Throughout the months leading up to your wedding, I get to know the two of you and together we fashion the ceremony of your wishes. On your wedding day, I officiate with warmth and humor, lending a calm, and calming, hand.
