** Heartfelt, modern, and stylish...never stuffy **
No two ceremonies are the same, just like no two couples are the same. Every couple has its own history -- how you met, the joyful times you have experienced, the challenges you have faced, the qualities you see in one another, your
quirks (!), and the visions you see for your future.
Some ceremonies are short and sweet, while others contain multiple readings or traditions. Some are religious, and some are not. I am here to share your great story with your guests, as well as help articulate feelings that are often so hard to put into words. I compose ceremonies that are fresh and new, tailored around the story of your relationship. Personalized wedding ceremonies are especially meaningful to the couple and their guests. Your ceremony will not be the part of your wedding day that guests "just have to sit through" before the cocktail hour begins...it will be a true kick-off to your big day that people can connect with and enjoy.
Interested in finding out more about different symbolic events? The sand ceremony, ring or stone warming, wine & box ceremony, wine pouring, beer pouring (yes, you read that right!), rose exchange, hand-fasting, honoring a loved one who has passed away, incorporating children, blending families, planting a tree, stomping a glass, breaking a plate...there are so many beautiful traditions that help you to express your commitment to each other. I can help you find the one(s) that fit you best.
