I don’t do cookie-cutter ceremonies. I create personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect who you are and what you value as a couple. I want each word to be based on what matters most to you as you join your lives in marriage. We’ll work together to create your perfect ceremony, and I will help you find ways to make your wedding meaningful for yourselves as well as your families and friends. When I lead the ceremony, I’ll speak from my heart with sincerity and joy. Working with you and being at your wedding is an honor I do not take lightly. It would be a privilege to be part of your special day.
