Support for ceremonies of every shape and size.
Wedding Officiating
As your officiant, we will work with you to create a fully personalized wedding ceremony that feels perfect for you! We pride ourselves in being able to pen a ceremony that is meaningful, sincere, lighthearted and the right fit for every unique couple that we marry. There are no rules! We can craft your ceremony to be as traditional or as out of the box as you could imagine. Every couple has their own special feeling and style. Ren or I will help you design a wedding ceremony to reflect just that!

Vow support, with guidance and editing to help you write words that feel honest, meaningful, and natural to say out loud

Thoughtful day-of officiating, arriving early to prepare and ready to bring your ceremony to life
Flexibility for any setting or style, from traditional venues to adventurous elopements (Sunrise in the mountains? I love a good hike! Golden hour on a sailboat? I'll pack my boat shoes!)

Elopement Planning
You’ve found the person who makes the rest of the world fall quiet, and you’re choosing to commit your lives to one another. While some couples are drawn to the energy of a big wedding, others feel more at home celebrating somewhere simpler and more intentional. Maybe that means trees instead of a crowd, or the warmth of a sunset instead of a ballroom. If an intimate, meaningful elopement feels like the right fit, we’d love to help plan and officiate a celebration that brings it to life—wherever your adventure takes you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We approach every ceremony with the belief that your love story deserves to be told with intention, heart, and a level of care that goes far beyond simply showing up to read words on a page. From the moment we meet, our goal is to make you feel seen, understood, and genuinely at ease. We build a natural connection with our couples right away, which allows us to write a ceremony that feels deeply personal rather than generic.
Beyond the ceremony writing itself, our experience on wedding days allows us to anticipate the natural rhythm of the day. We keep an eye out for pacing, timing, and any small gaps that might need a gentle hand so everything flows smoothly.
Couples choose us because they want an officiant who does more than stand at the front. They want someone who listens deeply, writes intentionally, and cares about the experience as much as they do. We arrive to your wedding day as a calming, joyful presence who feels like part of the team.
-
Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.
We offer a complimentary consultation before asking you to book so you can get a feel for us, ask questions, and make sure the connection feels right. Your officiant sets the tone for the ceremony, so it is important that you feel completely comfortable.
-
After booking, you will receive a welcome guide and a detailed questionnaire that helps us learn your love story. From there, we will schedule planning calls and collaborate on the ceremony script until it feels perfect. We handle the structure, flow, and language so the two of you can simply enjoy the experience. As your wedding day approaches, we will help coach you through the legal process of applying for your marriage license in the State that your wedding is taking place and have an additional final detail meeting to make sure everything is prepared perfectly.
-
We officiate civil ceremonies, traditional or religious ceremonies, non-religious ceremonies, LGBTQ+ friendly ceremonies, elopements, and intimate weddings. We also know that blending families, honoring heritage, or including beloved pets can add so much meaning to the type of ceremony that fits you. We work with you to incorporate those elements seamlessly. Whatever your vision may be, we meet you exactly where you are.
-
We happily attend rehearsals as part of our services and highly recommend it! A rehearsal gives everyone a chance to walk through the flow of the ceremony so your entire wedding party feels comfortable, confident, and clear on their cues. It also gives us valuable time to meet your people, learn everyone’s personalities, and become a familiar face rather than just the person standing at the front on the wedding day.
Being there in advance allows us to make sure the processional order feels natural, the pacing works, your vows and readings are set, and any special elements like children or a unity ceremony have the space they need.
Ultimately, the rehearsal helps create a ceremony that feels smooth, polished, and relaxed with no guesswork. It lets you step into your wedding day feeling grounded and excited rather than rushed or uncertain, which is exactly the energy you deserve!
