What’s one of the most fun places I’ve ever performed a wedding?

Well, now I can say; an ice hockey rink 🏒

When I first met with Megan & Nicholas they had a vision in mind, and it truly came to fruition yesterday.

Congratulations Megan & Nicholas! Your moment was TRULY unforgettable ♥️

**Their names and wedding day were even on the Jumbotron - how cool is that!**

I haven't posted a 'Thought of the Day' in quite some time and it crossed my mind that this would be a great day to get back to them.

To answer this question will take a number of posts so for now to follow up on an Instagram 'Live' that I did earlier today...the conversation was surrounding 'Vulnerability'.

As a professional wedding officiant I meet my couples where they need to be met (I'm not speaking meeting for a consult, but meeting them where they are emotionally). If they're overwhelmed I'm there to listen, to offer my calmness, and if they'd like...a friendly smile and even a hug.

My couples are sharing space for me in their lives; if only for a brief, but beyond memorable moment in time.

As I say to all my couples whether we're speaking over the phone, zoom, in-person, email..."I'm here". ❤️

01/23/2025

Who's The Officiant you ask?

Well, depending on who you are here are a few things you may or may not have known about me.

One thing I could have added to this list, but felt I was running short on space...

I love connecting with people.

And what better way to connect then helping two people begin a new chapter in their lives together.

Want to connect?

I do! 😊

Surrounded by their families in a beautifully intimate ceremony; Chaemee & Nicholas said; “I do!” ♥️

What a celebration to ring in the new year 🎆

Congratulations Chaemee & Nicholas!!! 🥂

First ceremony of 2025 in t-minus 25 minutes.

Congratulations to all the couples that are saying; “I do!” in 2025!

We may begin as "strangers", but that moment is fleeting.

And by the time we get to your wedding day...it will be as if we've been long-time friends. ❤️

I happened upon this quote today, and immediately caught myself saying outload...Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

It's equally as transformative when that frequency remains after you've left that same room.

01/06/2025

I'm ready! Are you?

Let's Connect!

Sincerely,
The Officiant

For me, it's all about the energy.

For every one of my clients your journey with me begins with a smile and a hug (I'm a hugger!).

Although if we're initially meeting via zoom; then it's just the smile, but don't worry that hug will come when we see each other in person :)

A little backstory on this photograph...

This is Monika I'm hugging (Her husband Terry is in the background). I performed Monika & Terry's ceremony in October 2023. Their friends; Paula & Jeremy, were at their wedding and saw me perform their ceremony - afterwards reaching out to me to see if I would be available to perform their ceremony this past October.

What a beautiful day it was for Paula & Jeremy, and to experience reuniting with past couples...I couldn't love these moments more ❤️

My excitement for my couples begins the moment I first interact with them, and culminates to this moment right hear.

Gosh, I sure do LOVE what I do!

The feeling is like no other - I'm pretty confident my face say's it all 😁

The dictionary's definition of Appreciation: A feeling or expression of admiration, approval, or gratitude. I want to express my appreciation for all you've done. a small token of our appreciation. Well, I couldn't be more appreciative for the couples that I have the pleasure of working with - they truly are THE BEST!!!! Their appreciation for what I provide to them not only as their wedding officiant; but as a person, makes me so happy. Because for me it's important that my couples understand that being a professional wedding officiant is SO much more than bringing them together on their wedding day. It's connecting with them and building on that connection. I want my couples to feel comfortable, to be able to be themselves around me, and have fun as I help you navigate through a truly unforgettable moment in your lives. What I'm trying to say is... "Thank YOU!!!!" #appreciation #wordsofappreciation #thankyou #mycouples #yourweddingday #upstatenewyorkweddingofficiant #youarethebest

Today’s view for Mary & Andy’s wedding ceremony ♥️ #theadirondacks #newmanisland #weddingday #upstatenewyorkweddingofficiant #saranaclake #ilovewhatido

As a wedding vendor do you have a special “ritual” that you do as you’re traveling to a venue in preparation for your couples wedding day? I’d love to hear it!

What do you envision as your ideal wedding backdrop? Gianna & Austin chose @lakegeorge_ny and The Adirondacks Mountains. #theadirondacks #lakegeorgeny #lakelife #mountains #scenery #weddingbackdrop #weddingsettings #springwedding #thesagamoreresort
