Services Offered
Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood offers a range of services to couples seeking personalized and meaningful ceremonies. Before your big day, this highly-trained celebrant will provide spiritual guidance and support as you take this milestone step along life’s journey. Her wedding package comprises three in-person or virtual consultations. This gives her time to get to know each couple, plan their special ceremony, and finalize every detail before their joyous day. The second package includes pre-wedding coaching and assistance, as well as bespoke ceremony planning.
Shelly was such a pleasure to work with! Personalizing our ceremony with her was a breeze. She was a wonderful listener as she took the time to get to know us. For example, what were our hopes and dreams as a couple? What would the perfect day be? On the wedding day the message was clearly ours as she creatively crafted a message of the love surrounding our story and our hopes for the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Shelly to anyone who is looking for a genuine officiant for their very own ceremony- big or small.

The Ideal Officiant
When it came time to plan our wedding ceremony, Shelly was the only officiant we considered. Although neither my husband or I are particularly religious, we knew we wanted to incorporate some key aspects of a Christian ceremony that would feel personal and meaningful to us and our relationship; Shelly made that extremely easy and enjoyable. The pre-marital counseling sessions we completed in the months leading up to our wedding were a stress-free highlight amidst other wedding-planning responsibilities. When it came time to actually mapping out our ceremony, Shelly took the time to understand what we wanted and designed a perfectly personal service. During our wedding rehearsal and on the day of our wedding itself, Shelly provided support with structuring the ceremony activities, ensured everyone understood their roles, and made us feel relaxed and loved - exactly how a couple should feel as they wed!
