Wedding Ceremony Packages
I am here to passionately bring the wonder of intentional ritual into your wedding ceremony!
The commitment of marriage is not an event, it's a transformative process. Your wedding ceremony (and the months leading up to it) is a ritual that moves you through a portal, toward the merging of your lives, hearts, and communities.
With so much focus on the event itself, we often forget to make space for the underlying fears and anxieties that are a natural response to this sacred and often lifelong commitment.
It is my intention to support and honor the process of integration so that you will experience your ceremony with a confident and joyful heart. I'm your officiant if you desire this intention in your ceremony, as well as a guide to walk you through this transformative time.
As a queer woman I love to serve my LGBTQ+ community, as well as any folx who are seeking a ceremony that honors their sacred altness, however that may look. As an interspiritual minister, I also serve those who are secular, non-denominational, spiritual-but-not-religious, interfaith, and interracial.
I am deeply committed to serving any and all expressions of Love. I bless and affirm commitment ceremonies for non-traditional relationship constellations and the myriad of faith and non-faith expressions. I take a stand for radical inclusivity and our sovereign right to Love, regardless of what the law grants access to.
I write highly customized ceremonies that:
-
Reflect your love story, values and honor your unique expressions
-
Honors and weaves various faith-based, secular, and/or spiritual backgrounds
-
Are distinctively memorable and mark a significant moment in time
-
Guide you through a transformative process
