About

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

My name is Liz, and I started officiating weddings over 5 years ago to provide a safe space for all couples, regardless of how they identify, to have beautifully written ceremonies. My ceremonies are written from scratch -- meaning NO templates or reused language.

We are now a group nondenominational ministers from all walks of life, and we promote all types of love. We LOVE to personalize weddings! We will spend all the time necessary to make your day the best day it can be! We typically meet with couples over dinner, beer, coffee, or whatever is preferred at minimum 2-4 times to really know you both. By the time your ceremony arrives, we'll basically be BFFs.

At heart, we are all writers, and we love to discover the stories behind couples and intertwine them into their ceremonies. We are laid back, relaxed officiants who will help make your wedding day a breeze.

10% of all bookings are donated to The Trevor Project, and I personally volunteer 1 hour of time for each booking. Contact us here, through our website, or through my number above to get started on your awesome ceremony!

Liz is the best!

Liz was able to connect to us as a couple and write a ceremony that matched exactly what we were going for. We had some nerdy hobbies, and Liz was able to include them in a way that was just right. She helped set the tone for the wedding day with humor, grace, and respect for serious moments. Couldn't be happier.

Liz is incredible!!

Liz is THE BEST hire her right now!!! We wanted a friend of ours to be our officiant, but didn't want her to have to write it herself and also wanted to give her support in all the legal things she needed to do in order to marry us (she had never been an officiant before). Thats where we found Liz, who went above and beyond in all of these things and made an absolutely incredible and special ceremony that went very smoothly. We first got to know Liz over several video sessions where she asked us about our story and what is important to us in a ceremony. My expectation was that she would provide us with a generic template with some of our personal details included and then we would be on our own to edit it and make it really unique and special. NO. She made an incredibly beautiful and specific first draft, and then when we met about it and gave her feedback (sometimes super vague feedback like, "we want to say something about the ring being gold that ties in with the grooms science background and is kind of like this Carl Sagan quote") and she would take it all in and produce the most beautiful text that said exactly what we wanted it to say. We did several iterations of this over I think at least 3 drafts and video sessions, and she also gave us great ideas about different elements to add to the ceremony that we hadn't thought of before. Our officiant was also included in the draft document and added her own thoughts as well, and then tweaked the language at the end to be in her own voice for the day-of. Liz also did an amazing job of prepping her on all the small and big details she needed to be aware of, and everything went incredibly smoothly on the day of the wedding. We got tons of compliments from our guests on the ceremony as well, some saying it was the best they had witnessed! Beyond how great she is at what she does, Liz is just an amazingly kind, funny, wonderful person to be around. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she is extremely professional. We really enjoyed working with her, 10/10 highly recommend!!

Great Ceremony Message

Liz is an amazing officiant! She took the time to get to know us which enabled her to craft the perfect ceremony for us. Our guests raved all night about Liz's touching message and how she seemed like she knew us for years. She was able to incorporate my new stepson in the ceremony which was very important to us. Liz also came up with the perfect family unity activity for the three of us. After getting to know us, she created the taco spice unity activity and the guests were over the moon for it. We cannot stress this enough, but she's the best officiant ever!!!
