Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Welcome to Ecstatic Ceremonies, a wedding officiating service based in Portland, OR. I'm Anna, and I work with couples like you to design the personalized, reverent, and totally authentic wedding ceremonies of your dreams. I bring to light and put words to the unique story of your love and create from it a jubilant wedding ceremony that engages your community and ushers you into the next phase of your partnership, feeling seen, honored, and wholly celebrated.
Ecstatic Ceremonies is driven by a belief that everyone deserves to transition into married life where they feel confident, supported, and even more in love. I don't use templates. I don't use formulas. My job is to learn everything I can about your story, identify all the beautiful bits that deserve celebration (which there are a lot of, I already know it!), and weave them into a ceremony that honors the sh*t out of you! Because if love's not worth celebrating, I don't know what is.
You can view all of my packages and pricing on my website, www.ecstaticceremonies.com. If you find a package that feels like a good fit, and are interested in working together, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Anna, and I'm the head and the heart behind Ecstatic Ceremonies!
Ecstatic Ceremonies was born in 2020 after my wife and I got married, and I knew ours was not the last love story I wanted to tell!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Religious Studies, and a Master's degree in Education. I am inspired by the ways folks of all backgrounds make meaning of the world around them, and love finding the perfect texts and rituals to make my couples' ceremonies uniquely theirs. I write all my ceremonies from scratch, because your love is unique and deserves celebration in all its glory!

Anna created such a magical ceremony experience for us! From our first touch point with her, she filled us with so much warmth and trust, and we feel so lucky that we connected with her. We had a small elopement and wanted a ceremony that was intimate and unique to us but also simple and brief, and she absolutely nailed it. She is an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, and we felt so well taken care of with her services. Thank you Anna!

Anna was an absolute joy to work with! From the moment we got in touch, she brought so much warmth, curiosity, and openness into the process of getting to know us and our vision for the wedding ceremony. Her contagiously buoyant energy made everything feel celebratory even when it could have been stressful, and her pure enthusiasm for the magic of true love came through in such an affirming way in every interaction.
When it came to designing the ceremony, she seamlessly built in the special elements that we'd hoped to include (like the Scottish tradition of pinning the tartan), and she was excited to hear any feedback or ideas that we had while we workshopped the draft text together. As a side note, being a non-binary person in a straight-looking partnership had initially caused me to worry about whether I would feel truly "seen" in the context of a hypothetical ceremony -- but I went into the wedding day feeling so much more joyful and present because Anna had worked with us to hand-craft something that was beautifully, uniquely reflective of us and our love.
On the day itself, Anna was such a sweet and supportive presence to have up there with us. The ceremony she delivered was sincere, mirthful, and elegant -- I lost count of how many of our friends and family came up to us afterward to say how moved they were. Everything was even more wonderful than we had hoped it would be, and we are so grateful that Anna was the one to formalize our marriage!

Absolutely thrilled to recommend Ecstatic Ceremonies as a wedding officiant! From start to finish, they exceeded all our expectations and made our special day truly magical. Their kindness and genuine care for us as a couple shone through in every interaction. They took the time to really understand our unique story, values, and personalities, creating a ceremony that was perfectly tailored to who we are.
What we appreciated most was their dedication to inclusivity. They ensured that our ceremony was a reflection of love in all its forms, and everyone felt welcomed and celebrated. Their words were heartfelt, and their presence brought a warmth that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Many of our friends and family commented on how beautifully personal and authentic the ceremony felt.
If you’re looking for an officiant who is deeply invested in making your day special, we highly recommend Anna. She will bring compassion, inclusivity, and a sense of joy that will make your wedding day unforgettable!
Warm regards,
DiAngelo & Marcus

Anna is the best. We truly loved the time we spent getting to know Anna leading up to the big day. She made our wedding day so special and in the short time we spent with her leading up to the wedding it was she knew us for years. Anna loves LOVE and all of our guests raved about her!!! We would choose her again in a heartbeat.

While many of our vendors treated us like clients instead of humans in love, Anna was the soul of our ceremony. She crafted a personalized, beautiful ceremony (it felt like she x-rayed our SOULS) and her thoughtful expression of her understanding of our love inspired us to write personal vows with the same level of poetic intention. She was also super open to edits and changes as we workshopped the ceremony together. Dozens of our guests made sure to tell us how beautiful our vows & ceremony and we couldn't have done it without Anna.
Anna felt like a friend and confidante through the final push of wedding planning--she wasn't just there to do business but was genuinely invested in our love. I can't recommend her enough as an officiant and emotional/spiritual guide through the marriage process.

Anna is so wonderful! We were already legally married so we didn't technically need an officiant, but we wanted someone who could capture our 10 years of marriage into a ceremony. She did just that! Anna made us feel safe when being vulnerable and she made us feel heard when we offered feedback on our first draft. The final result was a beautiful ceremony that encapsulated our many years together, while acknowledging that our wedding was also a new beginning. It is also so important as a queer couple to feel comfortable, and Anna is absolutely the right choice for that! Anna felt like family by the end of the process and we are sad it's over! Thank you!!

I was skeptical about choosing someone to officiate our wedding from the internet, and not someone we knew. Anna blew us away with her entire process of becoming our officiant. We live out of state, and even through Zoom "get to know you meetings", she was able to create the most beautiful, heartfelt, personal love story to tell at our ceremony. Everyone at our wedding commented on how amazing she did, and she felt like family to us. We had a wild weather situation at our wedding and Anna always had a calming smile on her face and made us laugh, without losing her professionalism. We know we have a friend for life now in Anna, and hope to meet again someday. I truly can't imagine having anyone else bring my wife and I into marriage. We love you Anna!!

We originally booked Anna with the hopes of finding someone who would understand our needs and wants for our wedding ceremony. Anna from day 1 went above and beyond for us in every way we could imagine. We couldn’t imagine anyone else officiating our wedding ceremony for us. Anna was flexible and accommodated everything we asked for. From visiting us in our apartment to do a meet and greet to driving all the way out to the coast to perform our ceremony she is truly an incredible person and we will never forget everything she did for us. She will always hold a special place in our heart and we now are honored to call her our friend. If you find yourself lucky enough to find her available for booking your wedding ceremony do not hesitate and book her as soon as you can!

I cannot speak highly enough about Anna’s excellence and magic as a ceremony planner and officiant. Her energy is infectiously sparkly and joyful, yet somehow also tranquil and reverent. Her process is organized, thoughtful, and full of intention. She made a concerted effort to get to know and understand me and my partner and our unique story and connection, and a result the speech she crafted for the ceremony made us both feel deeply seen, and deeply celebrated. Our ceremony was a unique one—a poly wedding—and Anna navigated the non-typical terrain with grace. Both in the planning process and on the big day, she created a beautiful, protective container that allowed us to focus on our love, and let the more stressful parts of the wedding fall away. I am so grateful to her and so glad we decided to hire her!

Anna is a consummate professional and just an all around delightful person to work with. I’ve had both the pleasure of working with her as a planner and attended weddings of friends who she officiated for. Both experiences were amazing. Professionally, she is kind, responsive and flexible. Anna goes above and beyond to really make sure that couples feel seen and that their ceremony reflects what’s most important to them. Every ceremony she crafts is unique and so meaningful. It’s clear that she isn’t working with a standard script, but rather really taking the time to understand her couples and craft something that honors their journey/relationship. She clearly is passionate about her work and goes the extra mile for her couples. Hands down one of my favorite vendors in Oregon to work with.

Wow, I can’t rate Ecstatic Ceremonies highly enough.
Anna is absolutely phenomenal. Not only did she prepare the most beautiful wedding ceremony for us (I still have friends and family members asking me to get a copy), she was with us every step of the way in preparation and support.
She helped make our wedding really feel like “us”, and brought an extra-specialness to our wedding day that we never would’ve captured without Ecstatic Ceremonies being involved.
Loved Ecstatic Ceremonies for our queer wedding and would recommend to absolutely anyone and everyone!! Truly so special.

Anna is a truly gifted officiant. I’m a wedding planner and recently worked on an elopement where she designed and led the ceremony for my couple. From beginning to end, Anna was kind, communicative, professional, and creative. She worked with the couple to get to know them and their unique love story, and was very receptive to any specific requests they made. She designed an absolutely beautiful ceremony and wasn’t afraid to lean into the dark, gothic vibe we were going for. Her ceremony was truly one of a kind and she is a delight to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

Anna of Ecstatic Ceremonies was absolutely amazing. She was warm, kind, professional and punctual. She put together a beautiful ceremony that encapsulated my husband and I perfectly from our relationship to our beliefs, and our love really showed through her words. She brought little goodies which was so cute, and she worked wonders when I had some very last minute changes. She was such a pleasure to have at our ceremony. I would highly recommend her for any type of wedding ceremony you’re planning, quaint or elaborate. You will not regret it.

Anna is kindhearted, compassionate, and super knowledgeable! I have had the pleasure of working with Anna on multiple weddings and my clients have always felt deeply cared-for and seen by Anna.
As an Officiant Anna takes the time to get to know her couples, their stories, and help guide them through creating beautiful stories to share on their wedding day with their community. As a person, Anna is warm, energetic, and professional.
I love knowing that Anna is supportive of all types of love and people from all walks of life, and I always feel confident referring my clients to her.
