Weddings

The ceremony we create celebrates your relationship and connects you to the beauty of nature.

Written to your spiritual and personal preferences, the ceremony will capture the essence of your love and affirm your relationship.

Want to include special elements? Hand binding (tying the knot), sand or tree ceremonies, or we can create something unique that fits the two of you.

You and your guests will have memories to cherish for a lifetime. I'm experienced with small & large gatherings.

Celebrate your destination wedding in a gorgeous outdoor setting! With more than 40 years of public speaking experience, I give a heartfelt and joyful performance of your ceremony. My joyful and heartfelt performance will bring your one-of-a-kind celebration to life for you and your guests.

It can be tricky to imagine a place you've haven't been, yet. I love helping people to plan their wedding and travel. 

Optional Concierge service supports any planning challenges you might encounter.
