If you’re considering asking a friend or family member to officiate…
why not go pro?
Here’s how it works…
A Free Consultation
First, let’s schedule a free & fast consultation to meet virtually so that we can get to know one another. But let’s be real, it’s so that I can pass your vibe check! We can ask each other some questions, chat about your plans for the big day, and I’ll help you confirm that - YUP! - I’m the right fit for your party. Obviously!
The Meet-Cute
Every RomCom has that cute moment where our lovebirds first meet, and I want to hear about yours! We’ll chat for a bit so that I can learn about your ideas for the wedding, the overall experience you want to create, as well as your beliefs, values, and some of the little things that make you... you. That way, I can infuse the ceremony with your unique personalities and successfully bamboozle your loved ones into believing that I’m your long-lost BFF.
Your Romantic Comedy
My specialty is giving your ceremony that romantic comedy feel, which means a little touch of movie magic. I do this by meeting with each of you individually to learn about your love story from each of your perspectives, weaving your RomCom together based on what both of you share. Then, I write a short, cinematic version of your story that becomes the heart of your ceremony and reminds you why you fell in love
As your big day approaches, I will talk you through how to acquire your marriage license. If you would like to familiarize yourself with the process in advance, you can read about it here.

The Big Day
On your wedding day, I will professionally officiate your ceremony and entertain the pants off your guests. I will arrive early to be available for you and to connect with your vendors, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. After the ceremony, we sign the marriage license and I stick around for any photos you may want me in. Then, I quietly take my leave so that you can celebrate. After your wedding, I will file your marriage license for you and it’s happily ever after!
My goal is to take all the weight off of your shoulders so that you can focus on the fun stuff. Planning a wedding comes with plenty of stress, that’s why every time we meet we’re going to have a good time and share some laughs. After all, this is a celebration of love, and I’m here to help you focus on the most important part: getting married!
