Introduction

I love the rituals and moments that help usher in new chapters in our lives and relationships. I love to take time with folks to craft custom ceremonies that honor the past, present, and future of your relationship and family structure. I gladly specialize in working with the following communities: LGBTQIA+, Neuro- Divergent, Blended Family, Multi-Faith, Celebrity/ High Profile, Destination, Nature-based/Woods/Beach, Irish, Christian, Polyamorous/Non-Monogamous, Kinky, Leather, Nerdy. I am glad to work with people on a ceremony for a quick elopement or a multi-hundred person wedding event. I am an ordained minister (a Dr. and A Rev.) in a progressive Christian denomination. That said, I officiate many ceremonies that are not inherently religious. But, I use my deep respect for the profound connection in your relationship and extensive experience curating connective moments for gathered community to create a transcendent experience for you and your guests. I am authorized to perform legal wedding ceremonies in MA and in other states as well (with a bit of advanced notice, so that I can register in that state). I am also more than happy to officiate ceremonies that might not be legally recognized, but are deeply important to those involved. Do reach out to chat more!
