Planning a Destination Wedding? Let’s Make It Official—Legally & Lovingly! ✈️💍

Dreaming of saying “I do” on a tropical beach, in a romantic European city, or atop a breathtaking mountain? Many couples choose to have a symbolic ceremony abroad while handling the legal paperwork stateside. That’s where I come in!

As a licensed officiant, I offer legal license signing services, ensuring your marriage is recognized in the U.S. without the hassle of international paperwork.

Already have a friend or family member officiating your ceremony? I also offer ghostwriting services—I’ll craft a custom wedding script that captures your love story, so your chosen officiant can deliver a heartfelt and seamless ceremony.

✨ How it works:
✅ I handle your legal marriage license signing before or after your destination wedding
✅ I craft a personalized script so your loved one can officiate with confidence.
✅ You enjoy your dream wedding without the legal logistics stress!

Getting married soon? Let’s chat about how I can help make your wedding both beautiful and legally binding. 💕

I am asked, almost daily, Sarah-Pete, do I have to have a religious ceremony if I get married in Virginia? So, I've written a blog about it.

spoiler alert: You DO NOT have to have a religious ceremony to get married in Virginia! Let me help you!

You may be wondering: Can you have a non-religious wedding in Virginia? The answer is absolutely yes! A nonreligious wedding in Virginia allows couples to create a ceremony that is meaningful and personal without any religious affiliation.

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on a year filled with love, milestones, and unforgettable moments. This year, I had the absolute honor of marrying over 60 incredible couples, each with their own beautiful story to tell. 💍💖 I’m beyond humbled to have been named Best Wedding Officiant by Richmond Bride, Washingtonian Magazine, and, to close out the year, Virginia Living Magazine! 🏆✨ This recognition fuels my passion for crafting meaningful ceremonies and celebrating love in all its forms. This year also brought new adventures! I stepped into my role as Director of Marketing at The Estate at River Run, where I had the privilege of mentoring 5 amazing interns who will no doubt go on to do great things. 👩‍💻🌟 2024 was a year on the move – thousands of miles driven, countless venues visited, and many fabulous outfits worn. I wrote hundreds of pages of custom scripts, pouring love and intention into every word. 📝💐 Every moment – from the grand celebrations to the quiet exchanges of vows – has filled my heart. Thank you to my couples, colleagues, friends, and family for making this year unforgettable. Here’s to all the love 2025 has in store! ✨❤️ #SincerelyPete #WeddingOfficiant #BestWeddingOfficiant #2024Highlights #LoveStories

Christina & Neill’s engagement photos took me back to my years of living & working in Georgetown. They strolled through my favorite coffee shop @bakedandwireddc and the streets I’ve walked so many times. I can’t wait to celebrate them next month at @pippinhillfarm with @donovangrovesevents @djtobler & @southern_blooms Photos by @shannonmoffit Couple: @christina__lr @neillfrazier

POV: you have an intimate ceremony in a beautiful garden with only your very favorite humans. The feeling of intimacy and love at D & A’s wedding was tangible. Lots of happy tears, laughter & joy. It’s truly an honor to be a part of these events and my heart is so happy looking back at these beautiful photos! @smackthatbird @waterperryfarm @atlasandember @onelastavocadofloraldesign

B & C met as teenagers and were together for 12 years before tying the knot!! Their ceremony was heartfelt & so sweet. @hanagonzalezphoto @thebellevueva
