Honestly, it started out as something practical more than anything else. A close friend of mine needed someone to officiate their wedding, and getting ordained online was the simplest way to make that happen for them. But after doing it, I realized it also meant something more to me—it gave me a chance to be part of really meaningful moments in people’s lives, whether that’s weddings, ceremonies, or just offering support. What began as a favor turned into something I genuinely value and take seriously.

I hope to use it as a way to be there for people during some of the most important moments in their lives. Whether it’s officiating weddings, supporting friends and family, or helping create meaningful, personalized ceremonies, I want to make those experiences feel genuine and memorable. More than anything, I see it as an opportunity to bring people together and contribute something positive and lasting.

I’d say that my approach is more inclusive than tied to any one specific denomination. My ordination allows me to officiate legally, but when it comes to ceremonies, I focus on what feels meaningful and authentic to the people involved. I’m respectful of a wide range of beliefs and traditions—religious, spiritual, or secular—and I’m always happy to incorporate elements that reflect your values. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, respected, and genuinely represented.

I think what makes my ceremonies special is how personal and intentional they are. I take the time to really get to know each couple—their story, their values, and what matters most to them—so the ceremony feels authentic rather than scripted. I also try to strike a balance between meaningful and approachable, so it’s heartfelt without feeling overly formal or stiff. At the end of the day, I want it to feel like their moment, not just a standard ceremony, and something they—and their guests—will genuinely remember.

I’m based in the Denver area, which gives me access to a wide variety of beautiful settings—from urban venues in the city to scenic spots in the nearby mountains. I regularly travel throughout the Denver metro area and surrounding regions, and I especially enjoy ceremonies in places like Boulder, Golden, and the foothills or mountain towns. That said, I’m always open to traveling a bit further if the location is meaningful to you. I’ve found that each setting brings its own unique energy, and I love helping couples make the most of wherever they choose to celebrate.

I’d also add that I’m really flexible and open to creating ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique beliefs, backgrounds, and personalities. Whether that’s incorporating cultural or spiritual traditions, keeping things simple and modern, or adding personal touches like custom vows or special readings, I’m happy to collaborate and make it feel right for you. I’m also here to help guide you through the process if you’re not sure where to start, so it feels easy and enjoyable rather than stressful. My goal is to create a ceremony that feels genuine, inclusive, and truly meaningful from start to finish.
