I wanted to support my friends and loved ones by officiating ceremonies in a meaningful, inclusive way. I believe in the power of love, connection, and ritual, and I wanted to be able to legally and spiritually honor those moments for the people I care about. As someone who’s spiritual but not tied to one religion, I wanted to offer others the same kind of non-traditional, heartfelt experience I’d want for myself.

I hope to create space for meaningful, inclusive ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique values and love story—especially for those who may not feel represented by traditional institutions. My goal is to honor love, commitment, and life’s milestones in a way that feels sacred but not bound by religion. I want to help people feel seen and celebrated on their terms. I want to bring a sense of joy, authenticity, and comfort to people’s most important moments—whether that’s a wedding, vow renewal, or just saying ‘I do’ in their own unique way. I hope to empower people to create ceremonies that reflect who they are, not who they’re expected to be—especially those from marginalized or non-traditional backgrounds.

While I am personally agnostic and spiritually open-minded, I respect all belief systems and am happy to perform ceremonies for couples of any religion, no religion, or blended spiritual backgrounds. My goal is to create a meaningful experience that reflects YOUR values!
