Your Story. Your People. Your Ceremony.
Your story shouldn’t sound like something copied from a book.
It should sound like you.
I take the time to learn your story - how you met, what you love about each other, the people and traditions that matter to you, and the promises that you want to make.
Then we turn those pieces into a ceremony that is meaningful, joyful and personal.
Maybe that means incorporating your children. Maybe your dog has a starring role. Maybe you want a hand fasting, cultural tradition, special reading or a family ritual.
Maybe you want something spiritual or no religion at all.
There is no single “right” way to get married only the ceremony that is right for you.
