The longer version: As your mountain-specialized Officiant and Marriage Support Coach, I'll make sure you not only remember every second - you'll LOVE every second of your ceremony! Isn't that how it should be? After all, your ceremony is the start of your entire marriage - where you celebrate all that has brought you to this moment and then make the promises to carry you over the threshold into a lifetime of love and adventure. With elements like your "Marriage Mission Statement" and a chance for your loved ones to send you their wishes and blessings for your marriage, your ceremony can be the "best 30 minutes of (your) life" as many of my couples have told me.
Wedding planning is fitness training for marriage. Done right, creating your ceremony is meant to help you lay a strong foundation for what you're stepping into together.
So, grab a glass of something uplifting, kick up your feet together, and let’s create a beautiful ceremony you love every minute of! With customized elements, creative storytelling, and a passion for capturing the uniqueness of your love, I’ll walk you through creating a one-of-a-kind ceremony you’ll enjoy more than you even knew was possible.
Bonus: The ceremony we create for you will be one of the all-time favorites your guests will ever experience - they'll even feel included without saying a word. This will leave your guests talking about your ceremony for a lifetime to come. How do I know? That's the feedback I get after every ceremony because I create a relationship with you as a couple. By the time we get to the altar, you feel like you're standing with a trusted friend (but you're with a professional who has done this over 225 times!). This allows you to focus on this special moment with your partner instead of wondering what comes next.
You get full control of the script (no unwanted surprises), so you can relax at the altar and focus on committing your love to each other. Marriage is a big deal, and your ceremony can lay the foundation for a strong, happy, healthy partnership. Let's make that your FAVORITE part of your whole wedding day! Let the adventure begin!

I am beyond grateful we chose Heather to officiate our wedding, easily one of the best decisions we made. Having a ceremony that was so unique to us made the day that much more spe...
cial. Heather put so much thought into writing our ceremony, learning about us as a couple, and she really grounds you as you're standing in front of everyone and helps you focus on each other and the step you're taking together. She also did such a sweet and heartfelt mention of my late mother in her remarks and for that I will always be grateful. One of our guests (jokingly) told me the ceremony was so beautiful that they don't need to attend another wedding ever again! I cannot recommend Heather enough. Thank you so so much for making our wedding perfect!

We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. Heather was so thoughtful in her process and really made the ceremony about us. We didn't want anything cookie cutter, and she delivere...
d! She took the time to get to know us to make it truly about the two of us. She was so fun to work with and made the process easy. It's easy to lose sight of what the wedding is all about when you are planning, vetting vendors, etc. but she brings it full circle and reminds you why you're there.
When people speak of my wedding, they still comment on the amazing ceremony. Heather brings both levity and honor to the day. Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming process...
, Heather brings it all back to what it's about. Not only is she a luminous light at the altar, working with her before the ceremony helped ground me in the months beforehand. I wish every couple could have Heather as their officiant!
Heather was so great! She took the time to understand what we wanted our wedding to look like and she made it happen flawlessly. She gave us complete control and had a huge amount ...
of great ideas. Heather was the only non family member at our small family wedding, but made us feel completely comfortable. She allowed us to add our personalities in and still made the whole ceremony elegant. We definitely made the right choice with her and would recommend her to anyone!!!

ring our ceremony were uniquely meaningful. As well, she took it upon herself to help protect the day for us both in thought, and in action, to ensure that our experience was as harmonious as it could be. And it was incredible the way she stood up in front with us in such a selfless way that was able to focus all of the attention on the vows we were making before our family and friends. We would highly recommend Heather to any couple wishing to find the support and guidance of a friend through such a special and important time as the exchange of life-long commitments to each another.
The whole process of working with Heather was wonderful. She provided all the guidelines for the service and the options we had for content. She communicated with us throughout the...
process to make sure we had all the proper documents in place (vows, license, etc.)before the rehearsal. She also provided an outline of here role as officiant and what she would say and gave us the opportunity to add or change the verbiage. She made us feel like this really was our service to custom fit however we desired. This truly was a no stress process and a great relief for my new wife. We could not have been happier with the whole experience.
