Shantel M Bremmer

As an event planner, I noticed that many couples were struggling to find someone to officiate their weddings. Seeing this need, I decided to take the initiative and become ordained so I could offer this service and help make their special day complete.

I am a proud woman of color and professional wedding officiant centrally located in the Greater Hartford area. I’m passionate about love, connection, and celebrating the unique stories that bring couples together. Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony, something spiritual, modern, or completely unique, I’m here to help you bring your vision to life with grace, joy, and authenticity. I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that reflects who they are — their culture, values, and journey. It’s an honor to stand beside you on one of the most important days of your life, and I’m dedicated to making your experience meaningful, inclusive, and memorable. If you’d like to connect or learn more about working together, feel free to reach out to me via email. I look forward to celebrating your love.

With my online ordination, I hope to provide couples with a meaningful, personalized wedding experience. My goal is to be more than just an officiant—I want to create a ceremony that reflects each couple’s unique love story. As someone already involved in event planning, this allows me to offer a full-service experience and ensure every detail, including the vows, is handled with care and intention. Ultimately, I want to be a trusted part of one of the most important days of people’s lives.

What makes my ceremonies special is the personal touch I bring to each one. I take time to really get to know the couple—their journey, their vibe, and what makes their love unique. I craft ceremonies that feel like them, not something pulled from a template. I bring warmth, professionalism, and just the right balance of sentiment and celebration. Whether it’s a traditional vow exchange or something totally outside-the-box, my goal is to make it unforgettable, meaningful, and full of love. I treat every ceremony like it’s the most important moment of the day—because for that couple, it is.

Absolutely! Beyond just officiating, I offer a full-circle experience. I’m open to performing non-traditional, spiritual, or blended ceremonies based on the couple’s beliefs and vision. My goal is to create a stress-free, joy-filled moment that reflects who they are—whether it’s an intimate backyard vow exchange or a grand celebration. It’s more than just saying “I do”—it’s about setting the tone for the love they’ll continue to build.
