About Your Modern Ritual

Your Modern Ritual

Celebrant

I’m a native Texan, born and raised in Pflugerville. After heading west for college, I spent 17 years in California growing up, not learning to surf, getting a Master’s degree in cultural anthropology, and starting a family. I began officiating weddings in 2017, and recently moved back to my hometown in 2021 to re-root and keep the party going here in the Austin area! I love helping create wedding ceremonies that reflect and affirm each couple’s uniqueness, love, and vision for their future.

I take great joy in making secular, nondenominational, interfaith and nontraditional weddings feel sacred. I love marrying LGBTQ couples, couples who want something fun/different/offbeat, couples who are blending families, etc. I also adore sweet and simple elopements. If love is the motivation, I am here for it! As an anthropologist, I love exploring how we form and nurture bonds that enrich and define our lives. As a spiritual person, I have profound reverence for the everyday magic that stirs when people who love each other gather with a common purpose: to witness, honor and celebrate life’s most precious and mystical moments together.

In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Supportive

    Julia was a delight to work wit!. We had a non-religious, short ceremony, and she was able to customize it for us exactly how we wanted it. She looked professional and talked in a clear, calm manner which is important for an officiant! We are so happy we chose Julia to be our officiant for the biggest day in our lives. Would recommend to all the couples out there in the Austin area. Thinking back on our wedding day fills us with joy and we can’t thank Julia enough that she was a part of making it so perfect.

  • A fantastic officiant

    Julia did a fantastic job officiating our wedding! She completely matched our energy and helped to create the exact tone of the ceremony that we had hoped for (lighthearted but meaningful). We hired her just a few weeks before our wedding, but she managed to make it all work in time. When we met, she really got to the root of who we are, what are values are, and what we wanted to convey in our ceremony. She gave us a lot of options for the ceremony so we could mix and match and add or take away the parts that we liked the best. She was totally open to our questions and helped guide us in tailoring the ceremony to our taste which was a huge relief since there were 10 million other things to think about before the wedding! I'd recommend her a million times over. She was punctual, professional and fun and also took care of mailing in our license which was wonderful.
