Welcome!

I am sure you have alot going on with planning your wedding. I would love to help you find the right officiant. So here's me.

I love officiating, have officiated for over ten years, and my five star reviews say it all. I listen, I prioritize my couple's wedding ceremonies, I go to the rehearsal, and I write the ceremony until it is perfect for the two of you. You have final approval.
I am a professional officiant and I know what that takes. Things happen that can really be challenging to make the ceremony flow perfectly and I have seen many unforeseen things happen. I believe because I am a professional, I have experience to go with the flow through those difficult moments.

I am a yoga and meditation teacher of many years and that helps everything be more at ease.
I also understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of others and that they want to be relaxed and stay present for their ceremony.

It is my mission to guide you in this process. The way I create the ceremony is to ask each of you questions, I really listen, you can ask me questions and collectively we get to understand each other. I get to understand what you are looking for.
I send lots of ideas, resources and you send me your ideas too.

At the end of the process the ceremony is a piece of art that says this is our love, this is US.

My intention will always to be to engage the guests and so they feel like they are part of your day too!

I know now how to write a ceremony that comes from the heart and that speaks of the couples love, likes and passions. I graduated from One Spirit Seminary in New York. I know about interfaith and interspiritual and that we all have our own path to love. I write lots of ceremonies for couples that are not especially religious but members of their family are. I have a wealth of resources to accomodate the couple and their families.


I love nature, I love hiking, walking in the woods, camping, and just simply being in the Woods. I also have a passion for living a healthy lifestyle, I am an aspiring herbalist, and teach and coach about loving your life. Just something about me! .


I officiate in old barns, top of mountains, by a lake, river, in a field,in the woods, in a hotel or old inn, and in a park.
I love ceremony, rituals, and most of all LOVE. It's what we all need!


Did I say that I have over a hundred reviews, five stars, and I love being an officiant. It's all true.

I offer Zoom, phone, or in person consultations. This how we get to know each other, share what you are looking for (even if you are not sure what that is), and ask questions to ensure I would be a good fit for your wedding ceremony. I explain my process and go from there.

I love creating lovely, memorable ceremonies that you and your guests will always remember and love.

Thanks for checking out my page and I hope you find the right officiant for your wedding ceremony! Janet


I will climb up a mountain or officiate in the old/new barn, alongside a river or lake, in a field, backyard, public park, hotel, or an old or new inn, and or any specific wedding venue. Any wedding venue that you love is great by me.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Janet for our wedding back in October! She took a great deal of time to meet with us and learn about us as a couple and individuals before drafting up the vows. We wanted to do general vows for the ceremony and our own vows in private. She sent over many different ideas, as well as templates/ideas for drafting your own vows. She was very friendly and professional throughout the process, and we really appreciated how well and often she communicated with us. My husband and I wanted a non-denomination but spiritual wedding, which she was able to provide us with ease. We highly recommend Janet for any wedding!

Mackenzie & Sam Wedding 2024

We initially spoke with Janet in February of 2024. After the phone call, we knew she had to be our officiant. She was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly warm throughout the entire process.
Our ceremony was stunning. She captured the intimate energy we were looking for and wrote us a beautiful love story. Janet's entire ceremony script followed exactly the vibe and requests we had shared with her, and our guests are STILL raving about the ceremony almost 3 months later. It was everything we could have wished for and more. We'll remember our ceremony forever, and are so thankful to Janet for leading it!

Beautiful Autumn Handfasting!

Janet was a delight to work with! From the minute we met, she understood our energy and vision for the sweet intimate ceremony we wanted. She prepared a draft of the script based upon our conversations and was wonderfully easy to work with on honing it into exactly what we wanted. I especially appreciated her reminders to be present with the love all around us, instead of worrying about the dizzying duties of being a bride. While we hope to not need a second marriage ceremony, I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Janet is an incredible professional who does an amazing job at officiating her wedding ceremonies. She makes the ceremony personal to the couple, keeps it light + warm and is generally excellent at what she does. It's very obvious that her couples feel comfortable with her. I would (and do) recommend her to any of my bride's in need of an officiant!

From the moment I met Janet, I felt she embodied the spirit, calm and presence one would yearn to have on the most important day of their life. She is professional, kind, heartwarming and, has pizazz! What a great combination!
