The three qualities my couples tell me are my trademarks are my flexibility, customization, and that my ceremonies are meaningful but also really fun. The flexibility is because I straddle tradition and the non-traditional. I love the symbolism of ritual and rites of passage, but also have no problem eschewing a tradition if it just doesn’t speak to my couple. Instead, I find things that do resonate with them.

Which leads me to the second quality of customization: Every wedding I do is custom to that couple. Rarely in life do we get a real chance to share a big moment in our lives with everyone we know and love and I adore getting the chance to explain why this wedding matters so much to you two personally. I firmly believe that your wedding ceremony should share your story and explain the meaning of this experience to your journey as a couple.

Finally, I believe that your wedding should be fun. A novel concept, I know! But really, I am convinced that your wedding should sound and feel like you. After all, if you’re spending this much time, money, and energy on one day, it better reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple. Since my couples tend to be hilarious and really fun people, my ceremonies reflect that.
