About

I believe that successful marriages take work, and commitment, and choice. I think weddings should be full of laughter, and absolute joy. And as long as your relationship is built on that foundation, you should be able to get through the hard stuff.

I provide a completely personalized and jolly ceremony, and embrace everything non-traditional, unique and quirky.

Officiant Review

Ashley was amazing to work with! She is very positive, funny, and has a young soul. She was very helpful, making the process seamless. She will have you fill out a form with all the big and little details of your relationship, allowing her to get to know you as a couple better. She took the time to listen to our requests and catered the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments on our ceremony! We totally recommend Ashley to be an officiant at your wedding!

Seamless, personable, authentic, timely, informative, supportive, and hands down wonderful.

When I stumbled upon Ashley on the list of different officiants in my area, I knew instantly that Ashley was it. I loved what she represented and how quirky and fun natured she was. Ashley was so helpful in her ability to answer our questions, guide us through the process, and provide us with access to different readings to consider using in our ceremony. She took the time to understand the type of ceremony we wanted and made that come to life. She was a great mixture between personable and professional. Throughout the process, I knew we were in good hands. She was definitely one of our favorite vendors.

Look no further, really!

Ashley was the officiant for our wedding and I don't think we could have chosen a more perfect person! Ashley was the first person I reached out to and after our first consultation I knew I didn't need to keep looking. She is funny, kind, and makes sure the entire experience is comfortable. Her work is detailed, thorough, and you can tell she puts a lot of time into creating the ceremony of your dreams (even if you had no clue what you wanted, like me). Ashley was wonderful at following up with my 100 questions, also. She helped make the rehearsal run so smoothly and helped get rid of those day-before nerves. After our ceremony we received so many compliments and everyone was asking where we found such a lovely officiant! I would use Ashley's services over and over again, but I hope I don't have to lol SO I will forever be recommending her instead

Stop looking, use Ashley!

While wedding planning, finding an officiant was the one thing we had no idea about. We are a non religious couple who still wanted a special ceremony. Looking through officiants was tough and felt like online dating all over again, until I stumbled upon Ashley. We texted and then had our initial zoom meeting and it was the easiest meeting ever. Right away she understood what we wanted and even had her own ways of crafting our vows to make them personal so us two uncreative people didn't have to. When it came to wedding time she was AMAZING. Her communication was top notch and she was just genuinely supportive of us and what we wanted as a couple. Rehearsal was actually a fun event with her heading it and she fit right in with my family and friends. By the time we actually got married we felt like our friend was marrying us and were bummed to see her go. I will recommend her hands down to anyone looking for an officiant. She goes above and beyond her call of duty. Thank you Ashley!!

Amazing from the start to the finish!

Ok…..I can not say enough about Ashley and her wonderful personality, vibe, words and just how special she made intimate day feel, she truly saved and made the day. She was amazing from the first call when she took the time to FaceTime me, ask about our story, details on how we met and little facts about us so ensure our ceremony was tailored perfectly to our love story and let me tell you, she didn’t fall short by any means. I reached out to Ashley two days before my wedding ( it was a surprise to my fiancé in stead of a court house wedding we had scheduled for that day that I just felt wasn’t us) and with out hesitation, Ashley heard out my vision with the most open heart and excitement for it and our love, which by no means was traditional, as it included a 5:30am start time, at a random covered bridge in town as the sun rose with just my fiancé, my self and a photographer and she was all in, showed up and preformed the most perfect, touching ceremony we could have ever asked for, plus more. Her words we kind, endearing, funny and blissful all a while being delivered by her soothing tone and eloquent demeanor . Ashely is professional, kind, supportive of same sex marriages, funny and truly pays attention to her clients and their needs. She is more than a 10/10 and my wife would highly recommend her!

Happiest day of our lives

Ashley married us in March, 2021 over zoom and it was a perfect pandemic wedding! After asking her to be our officiant, she set up a call to get to know us and our preferences starting by having us “tell me your love story.” She asked specific questions we’d never thought about like did did we want to memorialize any family members or have any religious passage readings. Both of us are pretty easy going and just needed help figuring out how to put on a virtual wedding without any technical difficulties! Ashley was very patient with our multiple online “dress rehearsals” and helped us run through the ceremony.

On the big day everything went remarkably smoothly. Ashley was so sweet and it was really touching to hear her commemorate the first day of spring and our wedding day being a bright and beautiful occasion and a very welcome diversion from the events of 2020. She touched on multiple points from earlier conversations about our love story in her speech and really made our ceremony feel like a celebration of our love. Her energy, professionalism and wisdom throughout the entire process was on point!

Ashley is a DREAM!

Ashley is not only an incredible officiant, she is an incredible human. She is exactly the type of loving person you want to help guide you through the threshold into your marriage. We felt very comfortable around her which allowed us to let our authentic selves shine through. In turn, that allowed her to make the most personal, genuine, and real ceremony that spoke deeply to who we are as a couple. It was moving, personal, funny, heartfelt, genuine, and so beautifully "us". She is also nothing short of a pro and knows exactly what to do (that was extremely helpful as neither of us did!). From the very first meeting we felt like a weight had been lifted off of our shoulders and a big to-do on our verrry long list was checked off. The planning of the ceremony no longer felt daunting, but exciting and was laid out in a clear, fun path. Needless to say, we absolutely recommend Ashley. We are beyond grateful that we found her and had her be a crucial part of our big day. Now go forth and have Ashley wed you!

Ashley is a joy to work with!

Ashley is amazing. From the moment we met her, we felt like we clicked really well with her and felt like she would write us the personalized wedding ceremony we were hoping for. And she delivered many times over! One of the photographers asked us later about some of the inside jokes. Even my mom loved what she said (pointing out how personal it was to us), and my mom is VERY hard to impress. Ashley was very accommodating with covid delays and actually married us twice (one elopement, one rescheduled wedding with friends and family). Both times the ceremony was perfect and tailored to the intimacy of the event. Thank you, Ashley!!!

She was amazing! My guests raved about the ceremony!

Ashley was incredible every step of the way! We had multiple FaceTime calls with her during the planning process, which was helpful for us because we didn’t have a lot of time to meet up in person. She made sure to ask us/send us a lot of questions so she could really get to know us as a couple. Her bubbly personality fit in well with our silliness as a couple, yet she also took the planning very seriously & professionally. She made our ceremony so personal to us, & it was exactly how we pictured it! We wanted a simple ceremony without anything religious, and she delivered beautifully. So many of our guests came up to me after the ceremony & raved about Ashley! Everyone loved her!
