About
You want your wedding to be just right. You’re making every choice with care.

The heart of your wedding day is the wedding itself — your ceremony. Let the words you speak and hear fit you as well as the clothes you wear.

I would be honored to help you create a wedding ceremony to celebrate the life you are beginning together. I have a wide variety of readings and vows on hand and I’m happy to add poems or lyrics that you love.

Your wedding ceremony can be civil, spiritual, or nondenominational. It can be lighthearted, romantic, or creatively themed.

You can use ancient rituals, modern ones or none at all. If your new marriage will blend faiths or cultures, we can combine traditions from each in a way that respects both. It’s your choice.

My commitment is to support you in your journey and create a beautiful ceremony that adds to your joy.
