I've had the honor of marrying people I care deeply about.

I officiate weddings for family, friends, and people connected to my life — with ceremonies that are personal, thoughtful, and grounded.

Why People Ask Me

Personal, not performative

Every ceremony is written specifically for the couple. No templates. No filler.

Calm, prepared, and clear

I'm comfortable speaking in front of people and focused on making the moment feel natural — not awkward.

Asked because of trust

I've officiated weddings because of relationships, not advertisements.

Past Ceremonies

The Munk Family — Italy, September 2024

"This wasn't about a place, even one as beautiful as this. It was about choosing each other, clearly and without hesitation, surrounded by the people who helped make you who you are. Today wasn't the start — it was the continuation."

The East Family — May 2021

"Marriage isn't about becoming someone new. It's about being fully yourself and choosing to show up anyway — on the easy days, and on the ones you don't see coming. Today is about that choice."

The Martin Family — January 2026 (Upcoming)

"This ceremony will be written with the same care and intention — focused on who you are, where you've been, and what it means for the people you love to witness the promises you're making."

Full ceremony text is shared privately, upon request.

My Approach

We talk about tone, length, and boundaries

I write a ceremony tailored to you

We review and adjust together

I show up prepared and deliver it calmly

No theatrics. No pressure. Just a ceremony that fits.

Who This Is For

This is a good fit if:

  • You want something personal and sincere
  • You value clarity and preparation
  • You want someone who knows how to speak, not perform

This is probably not a fit if:

  • You're shopping for the cheapest officiant
  • You want a rigid, fully scripted religious service
  • You want something overly theatrical
