Weddings – Great attention to detail is given to the selection of the location for the event, the dress, flowers and feast. You deserve to have the heart of the event, your wedding ceremony tailor- fit your beliefs, values, culture and traditions.
As a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I believe that all individuals and couples should choose the style, rituals, music, and words that reflect their beliefs and desires. Classic or contemporary, edgy or traditional with a twist, I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects you! The ceremony for your special day should not be a one-size-fits-all occasion. It should be a celebration of your personal love story that reflects who you are as individuals as well as a couple.
Whether it is your first marriage or the third, we will work to blend cultures, religious beliefs and include rituals and symbols that reflect your love. Together we will blend your personalities, love and integrate family and friends into your ceremony.
Your wedding ceremony should be as unique and beautiful as you are! Whether your tastes are traditional or lean toward the unconventional my goal is to craft a ceremony that truly embodies your relationship and personality, reflecting your beliefs and values as individuals as well as your commitment and devotion to each other.
Working with you, I will create a ceremony that truly celebrates your love, incorporating any elements, rituals, and traditions that you choose.
Your ceremony doesn’t have to be religious to be spiritual. It doesn’t have to be traditional to be meaningful. But the memories you make that day do need to last a lifetime. I’d be honored to help you do just that.
Sacred, intimate, light-hearted, spiritual, mysterious, joyful, ancient, wacky, solemn, beautiful, simple — any of these words might describe how you envision your ceremony. A wedding can be celebrated in an infinite number of ways, and I will work with you to find the images, words, music, and space that best express your blend of the personal and the universal.
I will help you find the music, readings, rituals and language that reflect who you are. I will then create your ceremony with all this in mind and revise it with you until it meets your final approval. And then after the event is said and done, I will present you with a beautiful keepsake copy of your ceremony. You and your loved ones will cherish this ceremony for years to come.
Need help with writing your vows? I can help with that too.
