AWARD WINNER (2X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Your ceremony sets the tone for everything that follows—and it deserves more than something generic or rushed.
I work with couples who want an experience—who understand that the ceremony isn’t just something to get through before the celebration, but the most meaningful part of the entire day.
I especially love working with secular and modern couples, as well as those blending different backgrounds, cultures, or beliefs. Whether you want something entirely non-religious, lightly spiritual, or a thoughtful weaving of traditions, I create a ceremony that feels authentic and true to you.
My role is to bring depth, intention, and emotional presence into that moment—so when you stand together, it truly feels like something. Not just for you, but for everyone there.
Every ceremony is thoughtfully crafted around your story and your dynamic. The result is something engaging, personal, and unforgettable—often becoming the moment guests talk about most.
If you’re looking for a ceremony that creates connection, reflects who you are, and sets a powerful tone for your entire wedding day, I’d love to work with you.
The Knot independently assesses vendors for this award—it’s never self-reported. We base it on firsthand experiences from real couples and guests, and they must have a 4.5-star average across 7+ reviews in the qualifying year.

these days that people define themselves as "spiritual, but not religious" and she was able to take that vast spectrum and narrow in on exactly what we desired. Her calm presence is just what a stressed bride needs leading up to and on this important day. We are eternally grateful for Rev. Julie making our ceremony the highlight of our wedding day, as it should be!

Whether you want something spiritual, romantic, or simple and elegant, Rev. Julie brings such warmth, wisdom, and professionalism to everything she does.

ense. Julie was amazing to work with from the first call. She took our wishes and turned it into a beautiful ceremony. We wanted a spiritual spin but not too religious feeling, we wanted to blend in some twin flame/red string theories, and wanted a handfasting ceremony. She figured out how to blend that all into a seamless flowing ceremony that just felt like it went together. She provided constant feedback through the process, asked so many questions during the planning process, and really made us feel heard in what we wanted. When the day came she kept everyone in order! She was so thorough and efficient! Everyone knew what was going on and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Thank you so much Julie for your amazing work! I couldn’t recommend Julie and Faithfully Driven enough.

ient answering all of our questions. She was quick to respond and was easy to communicate with. On the day of my wedding, it down poured and we had to move our ceremony inside last minute. Rev. Julie was so calm and helped work with our venue to make the perfect last minute indoor ceremony. Our actual ceremony was so beautiful. Our guests and I could not have been happier with everything she had written. It was personal, funny and celebrated our love. She also helped us include a cultural rope tradition and made it SO seamless. Rev. Julie is compassionate, professional and truly centers everything around you and your values. Rev. Julie is absolutely the officiant you need for your ceremony. :)

eling across country to our wedding location, so all of our planning time with Julie was done remotely over phone or video call - and she was always so accommodating and helpful in this process. As a largely secular couple, we didn’t have a lot of presumptions or direction for what our wedding ceremony could or should be - and Julie was an excellent guide and gave great structure to helping us find our way in that space.
She made excellent and insightful suggestions about what we may want to include or subjects she would speak to - and in the end she provided us with the most amazing ceremony, catered exactly to our own needs and personalities and we are so grateful for having chosen Julie to do this service for us. We will never forget it.
We highly, highly recommend Reverend Julie for any service, to celebrate a special day in your love or life.
