Planning a small wedding but not sure where to have your ceremony?

2025 has once again reminded me you don’t need a traditional setting — just a meaningful one! A few unique places I’ve performed ceremonies so far this year include a coffee cafe, an airport, a large open field with an amazing view, and a gazebo at a local park.

Whether you’re planning a small or large ceremony, make it uniquely yours! 🎊

Have you ever thought of getting married somewhere outside of the ordinary?! I married a fun, easy going, young at heart couple this weekend at an arcade! The setting matched their vibe perfectly and it was so much fun! 💐❤️💍

Fabulous wedding weekend. Started off with a rehersal yesterday followed by two weddings today. Each wedding was unique and special. One had a sand ceremony to symbolize the blending of two families and the other had a moment of reflection for the bride and groom to take in all the love from their guests.

If you are planning a wedding, and looking for an officiant, I’d love to hear from you.

💍💐❤️✨

Yesterday's wedding at beautiful Benjamin Bridge may have had some rain, but nothing could dampen the joy of the easy-going couple I had the pleasure to marry! Small, intimate, and absolutely perfect! ❤️🌻

It was a two weddings, one rehearsal kind of weekend. A few tears, lots of smiles and a whole lot of love! 💍 Big congratulations to the newlyweds!
