“Personal” is a word that comes up in many speakers’ descriptions—but how personal does it really get? I ask questions, listen, and ask again. I look forward to hearing your stories and getting to know you as people. You’ll find yourselves reflected in the ceremony: as a couple, but also as individuals. I don’t work with templates, stock phrases, or questionnaires. If you’re open to this approach, you’ll recognize yourselves in the words spoken during the ceremony. The result is a wedding ceremony that feels like you—with moments to laugh, to pause, and with memories that last.
Why do you love planning non-religious wedding ceremonies?
I love life! I love celebrating life, capturing moments, and creating special memories. To me, every non-religious wedding ceremony feels a little bit like Christmas. That special sense of anticipation when you’re wrapping a gift, putting a lot of thought into it, and choosing every detail with love—and then watching as it’s unwrapped. The moment pure joy lights up someone’s face, it warms my own heart. It’s exactly this moment that inspires me during a ceremony. When you look at each other, laugh, maybe swallow briefly, and feel: This is us. This feels right. Then that happiness spills over to me, and I can take a piece of it with me—without it diminishing in the slightest.
What kind of couples are you the right wedding speaker for?
For couples who want people to talk about them. Who want their love to be celebrated and to truly take center stage during the ceremony—with their lives, their story, and their journey together. I’m the right officiant for you if you’re looking for a wedding ceremony that feels light and carefree, leaves room for creativity, and is open to rituals, new ideas, and personal touches. No matter where you get married—in the mountains, by a lake, in the woods, in a garden, or at a place that holds special meaning for you. If you want to move away from the standard and toward a ceremony that feels truly one-of-a-kind—as unique as you are—then we’re a great fit.
