About

Would you like your guests to tell you that yours was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to? This can happen when your ceremony is unique, warm, and written just for you. This is what I aim for----every time.

In addition, I do not think couples should have to HOPE they will like every word their officiant says; they should KNOW that they will. That is why, after I have written a unique and original ceremony crafted to celebrate your unique love story, I will send you the entire text and invite you to ask me to change anything at all that does not feel "just right" to both of you.

I will pay special attention to the experience. I want them to laugh, to cry, and to really feel they are witnessing something special. I do not ever want a guest at one of my ceremonies to be bored!

I have been performing ceremonies for 18 years. I teach the writing of wedding ceremonies for the Celebrant Foundation and Institute. I love the challenge of finding the right words to celebrate your special love.

Services Offered
I will give you unlimited consultation. You can talk as often as you feel it necessary. You can choose every part of your ceremony; it can be as traditional or as out-of-the-box as you wish. I focus on making ceremonies warm, heartfelt, and very personal. I love all types of weddings----from beach weddings to ballrooms, for traditional and non-traditional couples and for a range of budgets. I promise to craft a unique and beautiful ceremony that captures and celebrates the special meaning of your love.

"I DO" think you should hire Peggy!

Our favorite thing about hiring Peggy was her professionalism while she answered all of our questions and "what if's". Peggy didn't hesitate to relay all of her knowledge and suggestions when it came to the ceremony and drafting our vows. She was kind, professional and met all our expectations.

Better than we could've dreamed

We were incredibly happy with our ceremony. Peggy worked with us to personalize our ceremony to fit our fun personalities. She made sure to incorporate all of the people (and animals!) whom we cherish in our lives and advised us on all the little things we didn't think of. All of our guests came up to us afterward to compliment us on the ceremony that she helped craft. We couldn't have been more pleased with how it went.
-Love, Abby & Eric

Peggy truly has a way with words!

Peggy was an amazing officiant for our 11/9/19 wedding day at The Ritz Carlton Beach club and I’m so glad we found her! Peggy was able to beautifully communicate what we wanted in a ceremony and executed it perfectly. We got many compliments on our ceremony, which made people laugh and cry happy tears! Thank you so much Peggy, we will hold your words in our hearts forever.

Amazing to work with

My bride and I decided to get away from the struggles of having a traditional wedding in our home town. We decided on a beach wedding. We found Peggy and she was absolutely amazing to work with!! The ceremony was flawless and she was very engaged! She also did her research!! She pointed out how we met and even recited some of our song. 100% recommended! Thank you again Peggy, we will always remember you and our special day!

Couldn't ask for a better Officiant

Peggy did an amazing job! She took the time to get to know us a couple and it felt like she had known us for years. I really think that she is the best there is! You won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend Peggy to officiate your wedding ceremony! She was able to draw “our wedding story” out of us with a questionnaire we completed several months in advance of the wedding. Using the questionnaire, she created a unique and one of a kind wedding ceremony that was customized to my husband and me. My husband is a man of few words, and even with this challenge in mind, Peggy was able to create a beautiful wedding ceremony. She crafted a ceremony that was funny at moments and touching in others. It told the story of how we met and how our relationship evolved over time to our wedding day. She is a beautiful public speaker and has a wonderful talent for relaying the story of a couple to their guests. I loved this aspect of Peggy’s talent because it told our story to our wedding guests that were not familiar with how we met. The length of our ceremony was not too long and not too short and I felt all of our guests engaged in the moment. Peggy’s presence and talent for story-telling was perfect for our small and intimate wedding. She makes herself completely accessible and is professional, punctual, and has a peaceful presence. You will not be disappointed by choosing her to be a part of your wedding day.

Peggy is absolutely amazing and we highly recommend her to anyone. She is easy to work with and really takes the time to get to know you and what you want in your ceremony. Our wedding ceremony was perfect – we laughed, we cried, and our guests were totally engaged. We have received so many compliments about it and in fact, many have said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to! Many thanks to Peggy for making our special day perfect!

Where to start! Peggy is probably the best officiant out there. From the very beginning she took the time to get to know my husband and I to truly personalize and customize our ceremony to us. She has a decent size questionnaire that truly delves into your relationship, and at the time of the ceremony, every single person was laughing, crying and engaged into the ceremony. She has unique spins on a classic ceremony where people truly enjoyed listening and being there in the moment - which is the most special and most important thing there could be! I would recommend her in a second - and I wouldn't look any further. She genuinely loves what she does and it shines through. She takes the time to speak with you on the phone, send her ceremony to you in advanced to read - and just made it a beautiful day! Thank you Peggy for everything!!

Peggy was AMAZING at our ceremony this past weekend in Sanibel, FL. Right from the very start I was confident that she would do a great job but I can't believe how many of our guests told us that it was the best ceremony they had ever witnessed. Peggy gave the ceremony a personal touch by utilizing quotes from our couple's questionnaires and she allowed us to edit and make any changes we saw fit prior to our wedding day. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, which is a huge deal for me and something that I definitely appreciated. I would 100% recommend Peggy to anyone looking to have an incredibly special and personalized ceremony for their big day. Thank you, Peggy, for making our ceremony so beautiful and special!!

Peggy made our ceremony an event that all enjoyed. She has every detail planned out so that we were the center of attention and people wanted to hear more about our story. She went out of her way to learn Hebrew passages, gave great suggestions, and knew where she and our bridal party should stand so our families and friends were able to solely focus on us. We can't give her enough praise for making our day special.
