About

Do you want a wedding that is unique and beautiful, and that includes both ancient traditions and modern customs?

A wedding that is deeply spiritual, honoring the natural world and the joining of two souls, without being preachy, stuffy or boring?

A Celtic handfasting or one of my very spiritual and yet non-denominational ceremonies may be just what you are looking for!

As an experienced celebrant, I can adapt to your needs and incorporate the symbolism and elements that will truly reflect your joining of two individuals in this most beautiful of ceremonies.

I can also help you take into consideration any concerns that you may have to help all members of your family or wedding party feel comfortable. Since 1996, I have officiated at dozens of weddings of all types, from more formal and traditional services to impromptu outdoor handfastings and elopements.

It's *your* special day, and it's my honor and pleasure to help you have the best ceremony you possibly can!

One of the things that sets many of my ceremonies apart is the use of special crystal singing bowls as part of the ceremonies. The bowls are made with quartz crystal and are combined with special minerals and metals such as gold, platinum, ruby, rose quartz and amethyst. They have a wonderful sacred sound and lend a beautiful air to the day.

My rates are reasonable and cover all aspects of the process, from the free initial consultation with you to the rehearsal and the ceremony. For a Celtic handfasting ceremony, I also include a session with the couple to help you construct your own traditional handfasting cord.

I can provide references from my many previous happy couples, and can travel to most areas of Utah and the US, and have even traveled internationally to perform weddings!

Handfasting

We searched for a LGBTQ+ friendly officiant for our handfasting, which was a very nontraditional wedding ceremony. We could not be more pleased with Rev. Heron. She was very professional, she met us beforehand for a run-through which made the details go very smoothly on the day of because we knew what to expect. She also works with her couples to craft a ceremony that is meaningful to them rather than just following a script of “this is what a wedding is like.” Many attendees said our handfasting was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever seen. I highly recommend Rev Heron.

Awesome Officiant

Rev. Heron was fantastic. She took the time to meet with us (virtually) multiple times to explain the history and symbolism behind the hand fasting ceremony and talked us through making our cord before our wedding day. We loved our ceremony, which was unique and fit our relationship perfectly. We had a great experience and highly recommend Rev. Heron!
