As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I became an ordained minister because I know firsthand how deeply meaningful it is to have your love honored, affirmed, and celebrated—without judgment, limitations, or exclusion.

For too long, many LGBTQ+ couples were told they couldn’t have the same joy, dignity, or recognition in their unions. I became an officiant to help change that. I wanted to be someone who not only says “yes” to love, but who stands up for it, makes space for it, and celebrates it fully.

Every couple deserves a ceremony that reflects who they are—authentic, powerful, and deeply personal. I became ordained to help make that possible for everyone, especially those who haven’t always felt welcome in traditional spaces. Love is love, and I’m here to honor it in all its beautiful forms.

My biggest hope is to create a world where every couple—no matter their gender, orientation, or background—feels fully seen, supported, and celebrated when they say “I do.”

I want to provide a safe, inclusive space where love is honored without conditions. By officiating weddings, especially for LGBTQ+ couples, I hope to break barriers, challenge outdated traditions, and help couples create ceremonies that reflect who they truly are.

At the end of the day, I want every person I work with to walk away feeling empowered, joyful, and deeply affirmed. If I can be part of making someone’s wedding feel like a true celebration of their identity and love, then I’m doing what I set out to do.

Every couple has a unique love story—and I consider it a true honor to help tell that story through a personalized, meaningful ceremony. As a wedding officiant, I create a space where all love is celebrated, and every couple feels seen, respected, and cherished.

I proudly officiate same-sex weddings and deeply believe in marriage equality. Love is love, and I’m committed to making sure every couple—no matter their gender, orientation, or background—feels the full joy and dignity of their commitment recognized.

My ceremonies are heartfelt, inclusive, and tailored to reflect you. Whether you're planning something big and beautiful or small and intimate, my goal is to make your day feel like yours—filled with love, laughter, and meaning.
