THE CEREMONY IS THE SOUL OF YOUR WEDDING If you’re one of my couples, you love mountains, big open sky, adventure, romantic moments and finding meaning in everything. You see the ceremony as the most important part of your day. You want your officiant to really know you, and you want to feel profoundly tapped in to your love as you cross the threshold into your sweet married life. Our modern wedding culture typically focuses on event planning (flowers, food, the party etc), with the ceremony and the relationship almost as an afterthought. If you’re one of my couples, you’ve been thinking, “This is all great, but it seems like there’s an opportunity here for our relationship. Is there anyone who is in charge of that?” That’s me! My specialty is not only amazing ceremony, but to guide you on a deeply meaningful wedding passage journey on the way to your day. Just like a wedding planner oversees the event, vendors and party logistics, my expertise is to oversee the relationship-deepening level of your wedding experience in the months before and on the day-of. During your ceremony, we will tell your story, laugh, cry, engage your guests and inspire. In the months before, we’ll reflect on what your day means to you, so that when you say “I do”, you feel it in your bones. Want to see if we're a fit? Shoot me a message - we'll walk through how my ceremonies work, answer questions and get to know each other. Can't wait to meet you!
