Weddings/Handfasting/Commitment Ceremonies

However you choose to make a public declaration of your love, I’d like to help. I offer services to all, including LGBTQ couples. Many couples report that they “don’t know where to start or how this whole thing works.”
I walk you through it all and answer all your questions. Let’s discuss how we can create the service you’ve dreamed of or the one you never knew was possible. Most ceremonies last between 15-20 minutes and a filled with heartfelt moments.

Weddings are the most common requests I receive. I take the time to meet with the couple, determine the type of ceremony they desire, and discuss special elements that can be added. I work directly with your venue coordinator, photographer, and DJ on the day of your ceremony to ensure a smooth event.

You can write your own vows or I will assist you in finding vows that fit you.

My normal ceremony includes statements of Intent from both partners, Affirmation by Family/Friends, and a Hand Blessing. A full Handfasting ceremony is also available.

Special elements can be added to your service:

• Family or cultural traditions
• Hand washing/forget and heal
• Sand ceremony (including children)
• Unity Candle ceremony
• Creation of a shared art piece
• Rose Ceremony
• Family Tree Blessing
• Family Bonding
• Anniversary or Wine box
• Special requests can usually be accommodated and make your ceremony uniquely yours. I encourage the creativity you bring to this special day.

Vow Renewal is a service that is very special to me and I am thrilled to help you re-affirm the partnership you have already established.

This includes both long-term marriages that seek renewal and also marriages that were officially created before a justice of the peace that now will be re-enacted with family and friends (discretion is possible),

If you are not ready for an official legal arrangement, a Commitment ceremony can be performed, uniting you as partners for life without the legal paperwork.

Welcome to this World – Rites of Passage

From Baby Naming/Introduction to the World throughout all the transitions of life (Off to School, Transition to Young Adult, Launching to Independence) there are ceremonies available to bring celebration to key events. A Sand Timeline vase is often used to mark these transitions and a formal celebration is used to bring more significance to the event. Transition is important and should come with words of wisdom and support.

Cultural traditions can be integrated and may be especially significant when uniting a couple of different religious or ethnic backgrounds.
