About Rev Emelia - Officiant

Rev Emelia - Officiant

I'm an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, a cisgender queer woman, and passionate about helping couples celebrate their unions and find meaning in the midst of wedding planning. "Emelia was the best officiant we could have asked for! She expertly guided us through the daunting process of crafting a meaningful ceremony with kindness and good humor. Emelia was instrumental in making our wedding day feel personal and special and we recommend her highly!"

Couples put a lot of emphasis on the reception (it's what will cost the most and take up the most planning!), but we often don't put a lot of thought into the ceremony. It's my job to help you figure out what you want that moment to look like and then create a ceremony that is personalized, memorable, and meaningful. "The emotion and care she put into the planning, writing, and speaking made this so special. She’s such a warm, welcoming presence with a clear voice that carries across the crowd - even outside. Emelia goes above and beyond with whatever she works on. Highly recommend!"

In three words: Empathetic, Supportive, Thoughtful

    Emelia officiated our church wedding last fall and we absolutely loved our ceremony! Throughout the planning stages Emelia was thoughtful and helped us craft a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful to us. She had great suggestions for readings (both religious and secular). She helped us incorporate a few family traditions into the ceremony and made sure the timeline and flow worked perfectly. She also kept our large bridal party in line! Emelia was a joy to work with and made our ceremony so special. We can’t recommend her enough!!

    Emelia was an absolute delight to work with for our September 2020 wedding. Her communication on all aspects was clear, consistent, and incredibly friendly, and we knew we were in good hands. Given that it was a COVID micro wedding on the lawn of our original venue with no AV or staff, she went above and beyond and brought her own mic and sound system so we could play our ceremony music. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor made us feel truly cared for, and our small, intimate wedding ceremony was made all the more special thanks to Rev Emelia's thoughtful contributions. We highly recommend her officiant services to any couple looking for a warm, professional and reliable partner for their big day!

    Emelia was an amazing wedding officiant who contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. She took the time to get to know us and our unique relationship, listening closely to our wants and needs for the ceremony. Emelia guided us seamlessly through the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions to improve our vows (while respecting our voices), and helped us customize what we wanted featured in her remarks (poems, stories, anecdotes, humor, religious readings, etc.). Emelia’s warm and engaging presence, combined with her professionalism, were evident throughout the ceremony, as she delivered our vows with care and with a touch of humor that kept our guests both moved and entertained. We are so grateful to Emelia for her incredible service and highly recommend her to any couple.

  • Best officiant ever!

    Emelia was absolutely fantastic every step of the way in helping us craft our ceremony and in delivering it with practiced ease on the day. She worked with us to help us figure out what we wanted from our wedding and how we could best reflect our relationship in the ceremony itself. Emelia is warm, compassionate, and experienced, and it was a joy to have her marry us. Highly recommend!
