About

Do you want a wedding ceremony that is unlike those you've seen? Are you hoping your guests will come away feeling that they know you a little bit better? From the "downright angelic!" to the "unique and beautiful", my work will clearly be your ceremony. As a Wedding Celebrant certified by the Celebrant USA Foundation, I am delighted to help you create the wedding that is yours and yours alone. Throughout the months leading up to your wedding, I get to know the two of you and together we fashion the ceremony. On your wedding day, I officiate with warmth and humor, lending a calm, and calming, hand.

Your wedding begins with the ceremony. Everything that follows reflects the light cast by the two of you standing before your family and friends.

I am now also bringing my Wedding Celebrant & Officiant services to the Mid Hudson Valley, centered in Pine Plains, NY.

Murphy was a great officiant and helped my husband & I make our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be!! She had the vibe/tone we were looking for (more serious but not too conservative). We are very happy with her services-- she was a pleasure to work with!!

Oh, where do we start? Right from the get--go, Murphy just fit. On time, on-point and a caring listener, Murphy was wonderful.
What we thought so important was how she remembered what we chatted about during the few times we were together.
Many of the details that have brought me and my new wife together were brought out during the ceremony. Simply. Kindly. All listening loved hearing of them. Murphy was a more adhering, gathering soul with us this so important day, than I believe we thought she would be.
We feel truly blessed to have found her.
Thank you, Murphy.

We went with a celebrant as neither myself or my wife are particularly religious. Murphy ensured that the ceremony still had a spiritual feel to it and 5 months on guests still bring up how much they enjoyed it for its uniqueness.

Murphy brought fresh ideas and really listened to what we wanted. My wife and I were instantly sold after our first meeting with her, she laid out ideas and took the time to get to know us- asking about how we met, how I proposed, our family member and other members of the wedding party etc. Her planning was excellent and it never felt like a chore to answer questionnaires or choose elements of the ceremony when she got in touch.

What we liked most about Murphy was her emphasis on the wedding being about us. Nothing was too important to have in the ceremony if we didn't like it and no detail was too small if we wanted to include it.

Couldn't recommend Murphy enough!
