I saw a need for officiants who could create truly welcoming, affirming spaces for all relationships, especially within LGBTQ+ and polyamorous communities. Getting ordained online opened the door for me to help ensure everyone has access to ceremonies that celebrate their love authentically.

I'm based in Coos Bay on Oregon's stunning southern coast.

I want to help create ceremonies that feel real, joyful, and true to each relationship's story. I especially want to make sure LGBTQ+ and polyamorous families have beautiful, meaningful ceremonies where they can fully be themselves. Every time I officiate, my goal is to create a moment that not only celebrates love in all its forms but brings the whole community together in support and joy.

My approach draws inspiration from nature and universal values of love and connection. While I don't follow one specific faith tradition, I deeply respect all spiritual and atheistic paths. What matters most to me is creating a ceremony that feels meaningful to you and your loved ones, honoring all forms of consensual, loving relationships.

I create ceremonies that truly reflect each relationship - their unique story, values, and love. As a trans non-binary person, I especially love crafting LGBTQ+ ceremonies where people can fully celebrate who they are. Whether I'm working with LGBTQ+, straight, or polyamorous couples and groups, I blend warmth, meaningful moments, and just the right touch of humor to create a ceremony that feels authentic. Every relationship deserves to have their love celebrated in a way that feels true to who they are.

Southern Oregon is my home base, and I love creating ceremonies that embrace our incredible landscapes - from coastal bluffs to old-growth forests. I've also officiated ceremonies in Arizona, and I'm comfortable adapting to any setting to create the perfect ceremony for each couple.

Beyond just the ceremony itself, I'm there to help plan the whole flow of the special day. I love working on personalized vows, weaving in meaningful traditions, and even helping design signature cocktails for the reception. Whatever vision you have for your celebration - whether that's spiritual, non-religious, or somewhere in between - I'm here to help bring it to life.
