Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant/Wedding Officiant

I’m Joan Bogwill, a certified lifecycle celebrant and professional ceremony writer who is passionate about crafting weddings that genuinely stand out. Your ceremony should be as unforgettable as your love story, unique, heartfelt, and meaningful. I take the time to dive deep into your journey, dreams, interests, and values, and weave them into a beautifully personal ceremony filled with heartfelt storytelling, meaningful rituals, and joyful moments.

What makes me different? I’m more than an officiant. I’m a storyteller who celebrates your unique love with warmth, creativity, and care. It’s the heart I bring to your story. My calm presence helps ease nerves, while I focus on the meaningful details that make your day flow beautifully. With me, your wedding won’t be just another event; it will be a one-of-a-kind celebration that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime. Let’s create something extraordinary together!

In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Creative

    We are beyond grateful for our wedding officiant, Joan! From the very first meeting, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and worked closely with us to make it truly personal. Joan crafted a beautiful, meaningful ceremony that perfectly reflected our love and values. Highly recommend Joan to anyone looking for a truly special ceremony!

    I highly recommend having Joan along side you for your wedding day! She took the time to get to know us and our love story to help us create the perfect custom ceremony. She worked with us creating a couple drafts until our script was perfect, even accepting changes last minute due to inclement weather. She made recommendations and gave us professional insight so our ceremony would be as smooth as possible. She made the whole process easy, fun and meaningful. On the wedding day, she was supportive and encouraging and you can tell she just loves celebrating love. Joan was efficient with our paper work as well- we received our marriage license in the mail in less than 2 weeks!
