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!

Fantastic!

Amy was a delight. She was open and willing to discuss all our thoughts about our ceremony, fun to talk with, and helped us create a perfect day. I particularly liked that, given Amy's experience as a hospital chaplain, she understands the enormity and solemnity of marriage, and of "in sickness and in health." She wrote us a beautiful message for our wedding and made me cry. :)

We are lesbians and not people of faith, and Amy was fabulous and welcoming of both of those things. I'm never getting married again, but if I were, I would have Amy officiate!

Rev. Amy is a Blessing

Rev. Amy made our wedding day on 11/23/24 absolutely seamless and truly special. As a very nervous couple, we felt an incredible sense of peace and reassurance from her expertise and calming presence. From our very first meeting, she made us feel guided, heard, and completely validated.

She offered us an array of thoughtful options for our ceremony—readings, scripture, blessings, and prayers—and carefully crafted them into a ceremony that felt deeply personal and exactly what we envisioned. It was faith-based without ever feeling overwhelming or forced. One of the most touching moments was when she incorporated answers we had given separately about each other into the ceremony. Hearing those words brought tears to our eyes and left us—and our guests—filled with joy and emotion.

Even during a stressful moment, like when I had a small panic attack while signing the marriage license, Rev. Amy stayed calm and grounded, helping me to find my center. Her grace and professionalism were a true gift at that moment.

Our friends and family are still raving about her, asking how long we’ve known her or where we found her—which always brings a big smile to my face. Rev. Amy was such a blessing to us, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant who will make your day as heartfelt and meaningful as it can be.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
