Introduction

Your wedding should be a reflection of you and your unique love story. I provide fully customized wedding ceremonies and will work with you to be sure every word is perfect. I’m available for consultations on Zoom, FaceTime, or in person where we can get to know more about each other, I can walk you through the process and then you can decide if you feel you’d like to move forward. I love getting to know each couple personally and I can promise you that the ceremony and words spoken will all be a true reflection of who you are as a couple, in celebration of your love. Queer friendly, I celebrate everyone’s happiness. Please contact me and let’s begin the conversation!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Ask me about last minute services! If you are less than a month from your wedding date and you still want a special ceremony, please contact me ASAP- your dream can be a reality.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Getting to know one another is the most important first step! Let’s talk about you and your partner’s love story, and how we can infuse your ceremony with personal details. I’ll ask you a million questions to help me understand your wants and dreams, and I’ll walk you though the ceremony step by step. You will have the opportunity to read, review, and edit every word of the script before your big day to ensure your ceremony is perfect.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I apprenticed with an established minister for many months before I began offering my own services. I also have a background in book publishing with over 30 years of experience, which has given me a great facility with words and storytelling.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

When I got married, deep in the midst of Covid, I didn’t stop to appreciate the importance of the ceremony, and how much I would regret being married by a stranger who didn’t know anything about us as a couple. I strive to make each couple’s ceremony as special as they themselves are, and I will work closely with you to ensure every detail is perfect for you.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Everyone! I celebrate all love.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Wedding coordination is another part of my available services. Let me help you in the month leading to the ceremony or on the day-of services to make the day run smoothly. I can be your bossy friend who gets things done, keeps track of all the details, and let’s you enjoy your big day stress-free! Sit back, relax, and let Rachel worry about everything.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Trust your gut! Vendors are easy to find, but how easy will they be to work with? Are they flexible? Do you get to set the tone of your ceremony? Do they “get” you? Weddings can be so stressful, make sure you pick someone who will work with you to ensure you have nothing to worry about on your big day.
