Your wedding ceremony should feel like *you*—not like a generic script that could belong to any couple. I create warm, meaningful and highly personalized wedding ceremonies that celebrate your relationship, honor the people and traditions that have shaped you, and invite your family and friends to share in the joy of the commitment you are making to one another. My approach begins by getting to know you. Together, we'll talk about your story, your values, your families and what you want your ceremony to feel like. From there, I'll help you create a ceremony that is personal, engaging and authentic to who you are as a couple. I welcome couples seeking Christian, interfaith, intercultural, spiritual or nonreligious ceremonies, as well as LGBTQ+ couples and couples whose families bring together different traditions, cultures or beliefs. Religious elements such as scripture, prayer and blessings can be incorporated when meaningful to you—or your ceremony can be created without religious language. For couples who want to go deeper, I also offer premarital preparation designed to create thoughtful conversations about communication, family, expectations, relationships and the life you are preparing to build together. Whether you envision something traditional, contemporary, sacred, simple, multicultural or completely your own, my role is not to fit you into a predetermined ceremony. It is to help create a ceremony that genuinely reflects you. **Let's create a ceremony your guests will remember—and, more importantly, one that feels unmistakably yours.**
