Rites of Celebration – AZ Wedding Officiant – Weddings, Handfastings, Vow Renewals, Rites of Passage (Welcome to this World) LBGTQ friendly
Unique and personalized ceremonies to mark all the stages of life.
“I pronounce you married” are some of my favorite words.
Many couples come to me knowing that they want something more than a courthouse wedding but they are not active in a church or even follow a religion. They may have a great venue selected but have no idea how a ceremony is planned or where to start. Or they may be seeking a private, low-key elopement. I am very flexible on styles, size, location and ceremony details. I specialize in bringing the couple’s unique backgrounds and wishes together in a meaningful ceremony. Unity ceremonies and family bonding ceremonies can be added to the formal ceremony as a special way of moving the couple forward.
With nearly 20 years of officiant experience, my passion is working with couples to create a celebration that reflects their relationship. A wedding is not just about the couple, it brings change to all that have loved and encouraged them and I can suggest ways to include all the important parties in the celebration. Children and pets are encouraged to participate according to the wishes of the couple.
I was raised in a Protestant home and spent many years actively involved with organized religion including co-officiating in church weddings. My own personal journey has taken me to a more spiritual path of life and celebration. I work with ALL couples. Love Wins.
I am excited to help turn your dreams of a perfect day into something beautiful.
