A Match Made in Algorithm Heaven 💖

This past weekend, I had the joy and privilege of officiating Samantha and Matt's beautiful wedding at the Lamberton Conservatory in Rochester, New York.

In 2019, fate - disguised as an algorithm - brought these two together with a 98% match on OK Cupid. Now, some might call that luck, others might call it science... but everyone there that day knew that whatever it was, it got it right.

Surrounded by the conservatory's lush foliage, Samantha and Matt exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony attended by close family, including Samantha's sister - one of my former brides who was there with her husband and adorable kiddos.

I'm always so honored when couples choose me to be part of their special day, especially when it comes through a personal referral like this. If you're looking for a personalized, meaningful wedding ceremony, I'd love to chat! Booking now for 2026 and 2027 dates.

Sunflowers, stunning views, and so much love! 🌻☀️❤️

It was an absolute joy to officiate Michael and Tim's beautiful fall wedding at in Ontario, New York. From the moment I arrived, I was in awe of the breathtaking scenery - the perfect backdrop for this special day.

Michael and Tim's genuine love for each other shone through in every moment. Surrounded by their nearest and dearest (including their adorable daughter in her own sunflower dress!), they exchanged heartfelt vows and love letters under a gorgeous circular sunflower arch. Their story, full of fun adventures like curb-hopping dates and exciting plans for family getaways, was a delight to hear.

Being a part of this joyful, "effing awesome" (we had full permission to say this) celebration was truly an honor! I'm so grateful that couples like Michael and Tim trust me to help craft and share in such an important milestone.

If you're looking for a personalized, meaningful wedding ceremony, I would love to chat! Currently booking for 2026 and beyond. Send me a message and let's create some magic together!

A little country, a little rock and roll, and a whole lot of love! Off to one of my favorite venues to get these two good and truly married because "nothing else matters" (her processional song)

What an incredible experience officiating Amanda and Kyle's luxurious wedding at in Rochester, NY! This venue, originally built as a bank in the 1920s, has been exquisitely restored to its former grandeur - the perfect setting for their nuptials.

The attention to detail and 1920s elements woven throughout made this wedding truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the love and excitement radiating from the couple and their guests.

It was an honor to play a role in Amanda and Kyle's love story. Crafting a personalized ceremony that celebrated their unique relationship was so special.

If you're dreaming of a wedding that transports you to another era of elegance, I would love to help bring your vision to life! I'm booking now and can't wait to be part of your historic romance. Congrats again to the happy couple!

When a Crocs Convo Leads to "I Do"...🥾💍

You know it's meant to be when your love story starts with witty banter about your favorite rubber clogs.

For Amanda and Mason, a fateful online message about fashion footwear kicked off a romance for the ages.

I had the joy of officiating their dreamy I Do's at the always stunning Notting Hill Farm in Buffalo. The rustic elegance of the venue perfectly matched the down-to-earth charm of this couple. Seeing Amanda and Mason exchange vows and crocs jokes was a true testament to how laughter and love conquer all.

From playful portraits with their wedding party (shout-out to the talent behind the lens ) to busting moves on the dance floor with on the mic, every moment of their day was filled with pure joy. These two just have a way of bringing out the best in everyone around them.

I may be biased, but is there anything better than being part of a love story so genuine and fun? If you're looking for an officiant who will make you feel at ease and help infuse your big day with laughter and heart, I'd love to chat. Shoot me a message and let's start planning your Best Day Ever!

“Wait, why does an officiant cost that much?”

Totally fair question. Especially when it looks like they just show up and talk for 20 minutes. But here’s the truth:

You’re not just paying for someone to say “I now pronounce you married.”
You’re investing in someone who…

✔️ Listens to your story
✔️ Writes every word just for you
✔️ Guides you through the nerves
✔️ Manages the flow of the entire ceremony
✔️ Knows how to handle the unexpected
✔️ Makes it all feel effortless and meaningful

And yes, also signs the paperwork and keeps your grandma from worrying.

A great ceremony doesn’t happen by chance. It happens with care, experience, and intention.

All my couples are a gift, but today's has an extra large bow - I have known Angela since she was sixteen. When she told me "It's time" I couldn't have been more honored. Let's get you two hitched! Love you!
