Wedding Ceremonies by Commission

Why Your Wedding Ceremony Matters so Much

As couple you cross a symbolic threshold during your wedding ceremony, leaving behind one phase of your life and stepping forward to walk a new journey together.

I believe both women and men yearn for their wedding ceremony to be alive with personality, joy, and heartfelt moments. And for it to reflect their intentions and hopes for their marriage. Yet many marriage ceremonies today are cookie-cutter ceremonies based on an officiant’s template.

For me there is a great deal of integrity in crafting wedding ceremonies completely from scratch. My clients are remarkable people who value meaning; creating extraordinary ceremonies for them is a great gift in my own life.

I am a Different Kind of Wedding Officiant

Working from personal interviews and in collaboration with you, I weave together the threads of your values and personalities into a beautiful tapestry – the story of you — so that your family and friends can understand how you truly feel about each other, as well as your hopes and dreams for your future together.

I am a professional ceremonial writer and have built a reputation as a captivating speaker and storyteller. One of the most common comments I get from couples is that their guests were “spellbound” and so were they!

Over the years I’ve developed a reflective process both women and men feel comfortable with. This allows me to use your own words as much as possible and truly makes your wedding ceremony vibrant and memorable.  If you are of different faiths or cultures, I research and integrate traditions from both your backgrounds into the ceremony.

Instead of Feeling Nervous You will Feel Like Dancing!

Your wedding ceremony will be a journey of the heart, a collectively felt experience that will inspire you for years to come.  You’ll feel prepared, at ease, and more relaxed than you thought possible.  Most importantly, you will remember your wedding ceremony!

I embrace couples of all orientations. I have a strong commitment to performing inclusive wedding ceremonies, including same sex weddings. All that matters to me is that you share an abiding love.

I accept a limited number of custom wedding ceremony commissions each year.  A Wedding Ceremony written exclusively for and about you is $1,600. These are one-of-a-kind wedding ceremonies for discerning couples. Elegant, warm, and in the very best of taste.
