Anny Nachtigall

I became an ordained minister because I saw how many people didn’t feel represented in traditional ceremonies. I wanted to offer something more personal, flexible, and real.

I’m rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Born in Alaska, raised in Portland, and now living on the Central Coast of Oregon.

I hope to offer ceremonies that actually reflect the people they’re for, whether celebrating a relationship or honoring a life.

I was raised within the Christian tradition and later chose to explore my own beliefs. Today, my approach is not tied to a specific doctrine, and I work with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, or none at all.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all ceremonies. What makes mine different is that they’re built around the people standing in front of me and what they want, not tradition for tradition’s sake.

I welcome people from all walks of life, including those exploring their beliefs or moving away from more traditional religious paths. My role is not to guide belief, but to support people in creating ceremonies and moments that feel right to them.

I also offer services beyond weddings, including end-of-life and memorial support, with a focus on presence, care, and authenticity.
