Helping you say “I do” the way you want to!

I have been helping couples form unions since 2013. I bring a calm presence to what can be a hectic time in your life, helping you make your marriage ceremony exactly what rings true to you. Party planning, catering, and wardrobe may be complicated, but the ceremony doesn’t have to be. I give you the framework and space to help you reflect on what is most important to you as you honor your commitment. Using my social work background, creative writing skills, and ordination from Universal Life Church, I craft a ceremony that reflects your style, values, and commitment. Religious, secular, non-binary, no-frills, traditional, radical, lighthearted, formal… No love is exactly the same, and no marriage or union ceremony should be either!

Please contact me to discuss how I can make your union, marriage, love ceremony, or wedding hoopla exactly what you and your sweetheart want!


We can’t thank you enough for such a lovely ceremony. It was so meaningful and full of love.

A ceremony can bring together very different people from all parts of your life. Welcoming your community and setting the tone for your ceremony is very important to me. Photo by Allie Mullin Photography
