You are unique. Your wedding should be, too.
You and your partner have a story that belongs only to you. What better way to begin your married life than with a ceremony that actually tells it?
I’ve officiated weddings by helicopter, on yachts floating on Okanagan Lake, inside a video game, on mountain tops, and at elegant chateaus overlooking the water. I’ve written ceremonies that made entire rooms laugh, cry, and dance, sometimes all at once. If you can dream it, I can write it and deliver it.
Whether you’re planning a luxury lakeside wedding or a spontaneous elopement, a multi-faith celebration or something nobody has ever done before, I’ll create something that feels completely, unmistakably yours. That might be a wedding, elopement, vow renewal, celebration of life, or something that doesn’t fit neatly into any category. If it matters to you … it matters to me.
