Julia has been a space holder for many years— from teaching yoga and mindfulness since 2006, to facilitating team building workshops for large and small businesses, to mentoring groups on topics such as vulnerability, resilience, and authenticity, Julia finds much joy in working with humans. She is a lover of love, a self proclaimed “word witch”, and an avid storyteller. Constructing a personalized ceremony that truly represents the uniqueness of the love dynamic between the couples that she works with is more than a job, it’s a heartfelt passion. Heartfelt Elopements is an LGBTQ+ inclusive and supportive business.

From Julia:

Hi there! I'm Julia, and I'd love to officiate your elopement or wedding ceremony! I believe that words, when woven together with heart and intention, can truly create magic. For me, words, both written and spoken, are important. I truly feel in my bones that the exchanging of vows is a scared contract that should fill you up with joy, love, and purpose. My goal as an officiant is to pull out the essence of the love that you share as a couple, and turn it into tangible poetry that will leave a mark on your hearts for the rest of your lives. I want to represent you both as individuals, as well as a unified couple, in a way that is genuine to who you are. I truly enjoy getting to know couples, in person or through the web, and taking the time to create a customized and unique ceremony. I am also happy to simply provide a ceremony without in-depth personaliztion, if that is what the couple prefers for the sake of time and ease. Please note that no one ceremony is the same, either way. I love weaving together elements of nature, ancient traditions, and spirituality, without being dogmatic. If you call it God, The Universe, Spirit, or feel unclear as to whether or not a higher power exists, I believe we can create a beautiful ceremony that resonates with you.

An Unforgettable Experience

From the moment we selected where we wanted our ceremony, we knew that Julia was a perfect match for us. She took the concepts we gave her and formed them into vows that captured our personalities, thoughts, and wishes for our life together. Every smile that was captured in our photos during the exchanging of vows was brought on thanks to Julia's words, and we cannot recommend her enough for anyone else's special day!

Wonderful Officiant for our Mountain Wedding

Julia was incredible on our wedding day. We faced some last minute changes due to weather and she stayed extremely flexible, positive, and upbeat leading up to and on our big day. During the ceremony, she was professional and she tailored the experience to our personalities and beliefs. I will be recommending her to everyone I can. Thanks again, Julia!

The best choice we made!

Just wanted to say how absolutely WONDERFUL it was to work with Julia. Couldn’t have asked for a better fit for an officiant, she made us feel so comfortable and she's the sweetest human. The ceremony she prepared captured us so well, I truly believe she found her calling in this work. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a calming presence she provided! We are forever grateful.
