What’s included?

My fee includes an initial meeting, a ceremony draft, officiating the ceremony, and signing marriage documents both official and ceremonial. Travel is included in King County.

Do we invite you to the party?

No, I’m a vendor, not a guest. Thank you, though!

What kinds of weddings do you officiate?

From small wilderness elopements to lavish celebrations, I officiate weddings of all styles across Seattle and beyond. Whether you want to keep it traditional, super short, funny, moving or all the above, I'm here to make your ceremony unforgettable. 

My ceremonies are spiritual, but not religious.

Can you accommodate our cultural or spiritual preferences?

I’d be happy to incorporate your traditions and beliefs into the ceremony.

Do you provide custom-written ceremonies?

Yes, each ceremony I officiate is tailor-made for you. I believe your love story deserves to be told in a way that's meaningful and personal. Let's collaborate to make it perfect.

I start with an outline that maps to a traditional wedding ceremony and I suggest some of the most popular readings to multiple couples, so there may be some overlap with other weddings I’ve officiated, but it’ll be wholly yours.

What's your approach to creating and officiating a wedding ceremony?

It starts with a chat over the phone to make sure I can provide the kind of ceremony you’re looking for. If it’s a match, I’ll send you and your partner a brief survey so I can learn a little more about your love story. You can provide as much or a little input as you want. A few weeks before your wedding, I'll then send you a draft of the ceremony to review. I offer up to three rounds of revision to get the ceremony script perfect.

What if we want other people to read in the ceremony?

If you have friends or family members reading in the ceremony, I’ll prepare the passages they’re reading and some tips for practicing for you send them—even experienced public speakers need a little support on an exciting and emotional day.

Will we write our own vows?

That’s totally up to you! Some couples like to write their own vows and read them to each other during the ceremony. Some prefer to exchange vows privately beforehand. Some people don’t do vows at all. We’ll discuss your preferences and figure out what works for you.
