Custom Wedding Ceremonies
"It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?"
~ L.M. Montgomery from Anne of Green Gables
Weddings and Vow Renewals
"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love, true love."
~ Robert Fulghum
Offbeat ceremonies for out of the box folks - that’s my specialty. If you are looking for a licensed wedding officiant that will help you celebrate your unique, awesome weirdness,
you have found your person.
This is not your average wedding officiant service. I am a celebrant and celebrants are pretty darn cool. We are expert ritual crafters, storytellers and all around awesome folks who believe in the revolutionary idea that your wedding ceremony should actually say something about who you are as a couple.
I create custom wedding ceremonies that put you centre stage. No canned vows or cliched readings here, each ceremony is written just for you and tells your love story in a way that will leave you and your guests with a lasting memory of your special day. Campy and cute, solemn and tender or bold and bodacious, I work hard to find the sweet spot so that your ceremony is as much
*YOU* as it can possibly be.

How I work with you
First Date
You've looked through my website and like what you see. Ready for the next step? Contact me to set up a first date - we'll meet up for coffee or online, get to know each other and see if I'm the right fit for your ceremony. I'll ask you lots of questions, because I'm nosy like that, so don't be shy. This is your chance to tell me all about your dream wedding ceremony.
Time to Dish
You've decided you want me on your team. Yay! Now I work with you to make sure I get all the juicy details. How did you meet? When did you know you were in love? Who proposed to who and how did it go? Yes, there will be homework, but trust me, it'll be more like writing a love letter than like writing a biology exam.
Second Base
Time to get down to business. My job now is to to craft your perfect ceremony. Tall order, I know, but I will work closely with you to make sure every element, from the opening words to the last hurrah, is exactly what you want. I have lots of rituals, readings and other ideas to draw from, but nothing goes in that doesn't get your stamp of approval. And the centrepiece is your love story. Because this is all about you.
Our Big Day
We've come so far! I know, it's really your big day, but it feels like mine too and I want it to be perfect. I'm the conductor of your orchestra (unless you have a real orchestra, that's out of my pay scale). I'll do my very best to make sure everyone is well rehearsed, the players know their parts and the performance hits all the right notes so that you can just enjoy being in the spotlight.
