About
On WeddingWire since 2012
I've been officiating weddings since 2012 and one of my favorite things is helping couples create a beautiful, memorable ceremony that they and their guests will remember forever. My goal is for couples to have the ceremony they have dreamed of by collaborating with them to customize their ceremony to them as a couple. Many couples want to keep it short and simple, while others prefer to include personal touches like including their love story or what they love about each other, or the touch of a candle lighting, sand ceremony, wine box ceremony including personal letters to each other, or a number of other unity ceremonies. I love hearing from guests and the couple themselves how touched they were, and were even moved to tears at the commitment taking place.
I was ordained as a minister in 2012, and began public speaking in 2008. I am very comfortable speaking in front of crowds, and enjoy it very much. I’m also able to officiate bilingual ceremonies in both English and Spanish. Having learned Spanish starting in Kindergarten, my Spanish pronunciation is good.
I do many types of ceremonies including:
- non-denominational
- traditional
- same-sex
- civil
- multi-faith
- vow renewals
- bilingual Spanish/English
I also love having fun with ceremonies. My business name, As You Wish Weddings, is a nod to The Princess Bride, and I have been asked many times to include lines from the wedding scene, accent included! I LOVE doing that! I've also added lines from couples' favorite movies and shows such as Ted Lasso, Parks and Rec, The Office, Schitt's Creek, Star Wars, etc.
When I am not officiating weddings, I am a life coach, helping women transform their confidence from the inside out, to see their worth, empowering them to reach their dreams and believe in themselves.
I also use my coaching skills to help many engaged couples through pre-marital coaching before they tie the knot. This helps the couple make sure they are on the same page about the big stuff, and gives them additional communication skills to work through challenges as they arise, bringing them even closer together before making their life long commitment.
