What is the story behind Orcas Weddings Officiant?
Located in the San Juan Islands, I travel throughout the islands (Orcas, San Juan, Lopez, Shaw) and to the mainland to officiate and coordinate weddings. My aim is to be of service to couples to create a meaningful and personal ceremony.
The San Juan Islands and nearby areas are amazing locations for weddings with locations that are beautiful.
We have everything you need in the San Juan Islands for a fantastic wedding, from elopements to big weddings: beautiful venues, delicious island-produced food, island-grown flowers, talented photographers and videographers, and great caterers.
Your guests are going to come home and wonder what kind of dream vacation they just experienced!
I think a wedding ceremony is not only intended for the couple who is being married–it is also intended for everyone who is present at the wedding.
I love meeting children, elders, family, and friends, knowing how important a wedding day is in people’s lives. It is a pleasure when the wedding party can feel confident and relaxed knowing the ceremony will be a success!
Ceremonies are flexible and non-denominational, religious or non-religious.
Let's work together to create a ceremony that will be a valuable keepsake for the rest of your lives.
It is my pleasure to help dreams come true by listening and creating a personalized ceremony centered around what’s important to couples to celebrate their love on their wedding day.
I like to gather from conversations (face-to-face, FaceTime, phone) and e-mails what couples admire about each and how couples enjoy sharing their time together, shared values, etc. Then I weave this into the ceremony so that it is personal and meaningful. The process is comfortable and fun. The wedding is a culmination of a relationship that is built by going deep and yet light and joyous.
I like to help guests feel at ease and valued no matter what their role will be in a wedding.
If you’re thinking of coming to the San Juans (or you are a local who already knows and loves this place), you will be so happy you came to these majestic islands!
If you would like to be married on the mainland, I am available for weddings in Anacortes, Mt. Vernon, La Conner, Burlington, Seattle, and surrounding Puget Sound area. There is an extra travel cost for ferries and time. I am also available for destination weddings.

Do wedding professionals recommend Orcas Weddings Officiant? Which ones?
I couldn't recommend Didier enough. He's a great presence to have at your wedding with his calm energy, passion for love, and commitment to making your wedding your very own special event that it is. He knows how to bring beauty and professionalism to your ceremony with grace.
Didier is a warm, engaging individual, and was so wonderful to work with - we were in a tiny little church on the island and he was both accommodating and communicative....and he gave a lovely delivery officiating. I highly recommend him (and I know the bride and groom were also very happy!).
