About

Your wedding day is a blur of people, food, music, and emotion; in the middle of it all, the ceremony is that quiet bubble where you speak your heart and make a commitment to the one you love. I love partnering with couples and helping them to discover what they need to create that perfect moment. It is a gift to officiate a personal and meaningful ceremony that a couple can hold in their hearts forever.

As a wedding officiant, my role is to conduct a ceremony that celebrates your story, your hopes and wishes for the future, your beliefs about love, and anything you may want to share on your big day. I am thrilled to have a part in making your wedding unforgettable for you and your partner.

Almost any wedding can use someone in their corner to provide an extra set of hands, manage the flow of events, and help to handle any surprises. If you are looking for assistance with planning the rest of your wedding day, my background in event planning and coordination with a Fortune 500 company means that I can also offer you day-of coordination services!

A complete gem!

I have written and rewritten this so many times because I want this review to be PERFECT and instantly make you fall in love with Emica. She added so much to our wedding day and is part of so many good memories that it brings me to tears every time. She is that good you guys! My husband and I instantly felt comfortable when we met with Emica. Her calming presence, friendly personality, and wedding experience made it so easy to chose her for our big day! She was early to everything, well prepared and organized, and a very good communicator. Our wedding was postponed because of the Covid pandemic and she made it a breeze to move things around. Working with her to customize our ceremony was the best, as she added so many personal touches in her speech and we were able to recite our “I do”s and exchange our own written vows. She has loads of helpful tips and tricks to get through your wedding! At our wedding rehearsal Emica knew to time all the bridal party’s walks down the aisle to the music we chose so I could see where everything would work out time-wise …..my mind was blown! Then during a private moment of bridal panic and chaos she lead me to a quiet corner and was there for me. It meant the world to me and I’ll never forget how she made me feel. These are just some examples of what a great person she is! Our guests also really loved her and came up to us after the ceremony to compliment her. Brides, she is going to make you feel so taken care of and special! You will be in the best hands, I cannot say enough good things! Emica thank you so much, you’re one of the best humans ❤️

Welcoming, Sincere, FUN ceremony in coastal Maine

We planned our wedding remotely, but connecting with the right officiant was easy with Cottontail Couples. While planning, Emica made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process, offering earnest advice and closely listening to our needs. During rehearsal time, Emica not only provided helpful and easy instruction to our wedding crew, but also helped us all realize that there was not much to stress about.

Emica wrote and performed our wedding ceremony, and was able to tie together all of the things that meant the most to us in our relationship along with our wishes to blend together a traditional and more casual ceremony. We received many compliments about the touching ceremony and Emica's warmth as an officiant, and we have fond memories of how she made us feel during the wedding.

Amazing and easy to work with

Emica was a dream to work with! We planned our small wedding in Portland and were looking to keep things simple. Emica made us feel at ease from start to finish. I highly recommend Emica if you're looking for an officiant!
