Her attention to detail, flexibility, and demeanor made the process not only very simple but also one of the least stressful aspects of planning our event. Without a doubt I would recommend Elle/Spirit Fire for all of your life ceremony needs.

A Celestial Wedding Experience with Elle

Selecting Elle from Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies as our spiritual minister was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding on 10/14/2023. From the outset, Elle was incredibly easy to talk to and collaborate with, creating an atmosphere of warmth and understanding that was essential during the wedding planning process.

What truly set Elle apart was her dedication to understanding our love story. She took the time to get to know us on a personal level, ensuring that our ceremony was a true reflection of our unique journey together. Her ability to weave our story into the ceremony added a deeply personal touch that resonated with us and our guests.

Elle’s expertise shone through in the customized ceremonies she developed. The cacao ceremony was a heartfelt addition that brought an intimate and sacred feel to our special day. The fire ceremony she developed was not only visually stunning but also deeply symbolic, perfectly integrating our belief systems into the proceedings.

Her beautiful and calming speaking voice added a serene and spiritual dimension to our ceremony. It was evident in every word she spoke that she was fully present and invested in making our day as meaningful as possible.

Throughout the planning process, Elle was a guiding light, providing valuable insights and suggestions. Her ability to integrate the significance of cosmological events, like the solar eclipse on our wedding day, brought an extraordinary and unforgettable element to our celebration.

Elle’s magnetic energy and charismatic personality were contagious. She has a natural ability to connect with people, making everyone involved feel included and important. Her presence added a vibrant and loving energy to our wedding.

In conclusion, Elle is more than a spiritual minister; she is a gifted individual who brings love, depth, and authenticity to your special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple seeking a truly personalized and soulful wedding experience.

Absolutely perfect ceremony for our DC Elopement

Elle helped to create and then facilitated the most beautiful ceremony for us. From the beginning, she was warm and approachable. She was supportive and helpful along the way, and PATIENT! She sent us lots of inspirational but non-required reading material that we were able to use to help guide us on our elopement journey. She has a beautiful poise and presence, and a grounded, calming energy. It is obvious that she loves the work she does as a celebrant, and that she holds the role in great honor. 5 stars!!!
