Rites of Celebration

Unique and Heartfelt Weddings, Handfastings, Vow Renewals, Elopements, and Welcome to this World (Rites of Passage) Ceremonies LGBTQ friendly

You’ve selected the perfect partner, the perfect attire, and location. Now, it’s time to find the person who can help you deliver some of the most important words you will ever speak and make the actual ceremony one that you and your guests will remember forever.

Most couples have no idea where to start or the details for the ceremony, but I do and will be there to help you plan and make it uniquely yours. I serve all couples and look forward to learning about you. I provide wedding, handfasting and vow renewal ceremonies. I want to be your officiant.

“I pronounce you Married” are some of my favorite words to say. I truly consider it an honor to officiate celebrations of love.

Most visitors to this website are here to find an Officiant for their wedding ceremony or handfasting. I’m glad you found me. As a non-denominational, LGBTQ-friendly officiant with over 20 years of experience, I will walk you through the planning process and joyfully lead you through the ceremony we create together. I promise that you (and your guests) will laugh and cry as some of the most important words of your lives are spoken.

What makes me the officiant for you? I am very flexible on format, vows and locations. I serve all couples including LGBTQ, Interracial and Interfaith couples.

I even provide a few photos of your day for you to enjoy while you wait for your professional shots (check out the Gallery page for samples). I keep my fees low so I can serve more couples. I love what I do and I want your day to be amazing.
