About

On WeddingWire since 2011

Greetings, and congratulations on your engagement!

If you are seeking an officiant who can effectively reflect your love story and all that is important to you, you have found her! It is my utmost privilege and honor to expertly craft and dynamically present a wedding ceremony based on your particular love story and life's path. My superpower is my ability to get to know you quickly and accurately, and to offer my calm and supportive presence to instill trust and reassurance in you, extending to your friends and family at the ceremony as well as the rehearsal. I also offer pre-marital counseling - please see my pricing page for more info!

As an interfaith minister and chaplain, I am comfortable and well-informed in any spiritual tradition, as well as with those who find deep purpose and meaning outside of tradition. I enjoy learning about what makes people feel connected to something bigger than themselves, and affirming this connection as important and valid. I am proud to be an ally for LGBTQ+ folks!

What do you want your friends and family to experience at your wedding? Let's discover that together and create a meaningful and rich ceremony where all feel welcome, and that you and your loved ones will remember for years to come!

I am available for weddings anywhere in the Twin Cities, outstate Minnesota, the midwest and anywhere in the world.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Best Officiant Ever

Amy was absolutely everything we could have wanted in an officiant. From our first call it was apparent that she was one of the kindest, most open minded people that we’d ever met, and it only got better from there. Every call left us feeling so calm and excited for our wedding. She made sure to get to know us and our religious beliefs and crafted a unique ceremony that was tailor made to us and ended up being my favorite part of the entire day. All of our family and friends commented on how genuine and full of love our ceremony felt. 

She was almost like having an extra wedding coordinator for the ceremony. She made a detailed itinerary, checked audio equipment ahead of time, and coordinated with our ceremony music to make sure everything ran absolutely perfectly.

If you are looking for a personalized ceremony that reflects you and your significant other perfectly, I could not recommend Amy more.

Total Satisfaction!

I would recommend Amy as an officiant to anyone! Not only did she meet all of our expectations, but she went above and beyond to make sure she made our ceremony personal. With Covid, it can be difficult to get to know your vendors, but Amy made it easy for us to get to know her and she made sure she got to know us! She helped take away all of the stressors when putting together a ceremony. She made the rehearsal efficient and clear for our bridal party to understand. She made our ceremony personal by asking each of us questions about our relationship and our love. She read the room and made it entertaining for our guests. We cannot say enough good things about Amy!

Personalized Service

Reverend Amy was a fantastic officiant. She was super flexible, organized, and friendly. We hired her when our other officiant was unable to perform our service. We sure are happy that we were able to find Amy and that she was available to perform our service. She meets with you and gets to know you as a couple. She also gets ot know you through her questionnaires that she sends via email. She communicates effectively and responds quickly. On the day of our wedding she made sure that everything was organized. After the wedding, many of our guests thought that we have known Amy for years because of her personal message. If you want a personal service that you will never forget, hire Reverend Amy. We were sure glad that we did!
