What kind of wedding would you like?
Every couple I work with gets a first meeting — no obligation, no charge. We talk about what you love and what you’d rather leave out. The traditions that matter to you and the ones that don’t. The stories only the two of you know, and how to bring them into a room full of people who love you.
Without the ceremony, a wedding would just be a great party with people in great clothes. The ceremony is the reason you’re all there. It’s where you explain yourselves to each other and to everyone watching. Done well, it makes people laugh, cry, and feel genuinely moved — sometimes all at once.
One of the most interesting challenges is blending traditions that don’t obviously go together. Catholic and agnostic. Jewish and Humanist. One of you wants something formal; the other wants a surprise Latin dance class in the middle of the ceremony. I’ve done all of these. I can combine the seemingly uncombinable and turn it into something that feels completely, unmistakably you.
Whether you’re planning something intimate or spectacular, traditional or something nobody has ever done before, same-sex or interfaith or multi-cultural — every couple deserves a ceremony that tells their actual story. That’s what I write.
Am I the right officiant for you?
I may be the perfect officiant for you if your relationship is unique and you want your ceremony to reflect that. If you want a ceremony that mirrors both of you and how you speak to each other, that nobody will ever forget, and you simply want everyone walking away saying that was the most incredible ceremony they’ve ever been to. Dogs, kids, and grandkids are always welcome.
What couples say
“I don’t even know where to start on our experience with Lise. She was one of the best things that happened to us for our wedding. From day one she listened to what my fiance and I wanted, gave some of her ideas, and helped create our special day. Helping us work my stepkids and even our guests into our vows was amazing. We also had a blast with her in our pre-wedding date — her showing and guiding my fiance through painting. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did. You will not be disappointed.”
Whitney
“Not only did Lise accommodate a fairly last-minute booking due to Covid restrictions cancelling our previously-planned wedding, she went above and beyond to create something better than I could have imagined — and flew up a mountain by helicopter to marry us. The fine details she mentioned and the inclusion of my stepchildren were what made my wedding day truly special. She is an exceptional writer and speaker and her passion truly shows in her work. I had a good feeling after our initial meeting but I did not know what to expect on the day — and she knocked it out of the park.”
Jess
“Lise was truly perfect. Her execution of our ceremony was beyond what we imagined. It was so personalized. We got so many compliments on her and we are so unbelievably happy. I have never been to a ceremony like the one we had and I highly doubt I ever will again. Lise, you are truly gifted and talented at what you do.”
