About

Welcome, my name is Ashley Powers and I am a Glocester, RI based Ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church. I perform ceremonies from Simple Soirees to Mansion Matrimonies. The love of two people showing through in a wedding ceremony has always been a great passion of mine so I have decided to become Ordained. I began this work 7 years ago and my love for it continues to grow. I love to perform unique, personalized ceremonies for amazing couples and help them remember through the planning process that love is the true meaning of a wedding.

First and Foremost Congratulations!!! Whether you are looking for formal, funny or a little of both... I write ceremonies that are laid back and casual or very to the point and structured. I will work with you to create a custom ceremony that you can appreciate for a lifetime. I also, specialize in the Celtic Handfasting Ceremony, and love to perform other ceremony unity rituals such as Rose, Tree Planting, Sand, and Wine. If you are looking to include the kids as well, I have quite a few ways to make sure they shine as well.

Perfect for our needs

My husband and I had a small, backyard wedding and Ashley was the perfect officiant. She met with us to get to know us and customize the ceremony. She struck the right tone and was lovely and relatable.

Ashley is professional, friendly, easy to work with and did a great job of customizing our speciality ceremony that included handfasting.

She made planning our wedding from another state a breeze with always agreeing on convenient meet up times and in general making herself available for our wedding needs.

I would highly reccomend Ashley for all officiant needs.

I fully love this person

Ashley is an amazing person. If I need to be completely honest she is a dear friend of mine. My husband and I were certain we were going to go with someone else because we wanted her there as our guest and my friend. However after numerous recommendations and suggestions from former couples I was intrigued. Eventually I asked her to officiate the wedding. I was absolutely blown away. The time she took to gather information, the details of our story she incorporated into the service and the patience she had for me alone was a welcoming and loving experience. She was quick with a rough draft and responded to ever single question, she was on time with out meetings and final details. Friendship aside, she was the most professional vendor I worked with. Honestly, it was a breath of fresh air. She made it all about what WE wanted and focused on how we felt! She didn't try to persuade us into what was traditional. She makes every service original and memorable. I was terrified to read my vows to my husband but her encouragement and presence alone was enough for me to work past wedding day anxiety. Numerous guest, friends and family spoke so highly of the passion and energy she gives off while providing services to couples. If you are lucky enough to have Ashley be a part of your day than it will be a beautiful service, with no regrets. If you're given the opportunity to be her friend, well than you are blessed.

Budget friendly !

Ashley was awesome! She requested she meet with my fiancé and I so that she can get on a personal level with us. The day of the wedding it didn’t feel like it was a stranger marrying us. We both felt comfortable with her and we are so happy we had her there with us.

Ashley was beyond amazing she was very thoughtful and easy to work with. I contacted her only weeks before our wedding. She met with us as soon as possible and customized our vows and scripture for a sand ceremony. She made our day that much more special for us by adding some fun details about us in the mix. I highly recommend Powerful Blessings the name fits perfectly.

So happy that I chose Ashley to perform my ceremony ...she was not only professional but a pleasure to work with...she thought of everything I had forgotten , a couple vital pieces , but she remembered and came through saving the day for me... She performed a beautiful personalized ceremony which my guests were touched by and many commented on afterwards... Couldn't have been more perfect... She paid great attention to each and every detail, even presenting me with a beautiful Momento of the wedding day, a framed monogrammed copy of a poem that Was read that will be proudly displayed in our home as a reminder of this special day...Her sincerity shows through and it is apparent that she truly enjoys what she does... A beautiful person inside and out ...would highly recommend her to my closest and dearest friends and also all who visit this site!

I am sooo glad I chose Powerful Blessings for my wedding officiant. Ashley's personality is amazing I liked her the minute I met her. The ceremony service the reading the vows and unity candle ceremony were enchanting. Listening to her reflect on the love my husband and I had for each other the words she wrote was like she has known us all of our lives. She was very professional but so sincere. She also went above and beyond. My husband showed up early and I was unable to go upstairs to make sure the did everything I wanted since I couldn't she made sure the chairs I wanted out were out and made sure my unity candle table was set!. The only thing I regret is I didn't get a posed picture with her :) I will def. be recommending her to anyone looking for a officiant

Having my cake and eating it too.

When my husband and I decided to get married, we did everything within 6 months. We originally had a family friends lined up for our ceremony. Do to an illness, we had to find a new officiant at the last min. Even with only meeting twice and the limited time we meet, you would have thought she knew us for years! Everyone at the wedding kept asking us how long we knew her cause everyone thought we had known her for years the way she talked about us during the ceremony. Not only did she perform a great ceremony catered to our needs, but she was also available on short notice and at a great price. I would recommend her to everyone!
