  • Keep It Simple Please

    This option is perfect for couples who want a meaningful, beautifully written ceremony without the stress of planning every detail. You’ll receive a thoughtfully crafted, pre-scripted ceremony that reflects your values and beliefs — heartfelt and wonderfully simple.

    You’re welcome to bring your own vows or choose from samples I provide, making the experience personal while keeping the process easy and relaxed.

    This is simplicity at its most soulful — ideal for elopements, micro-weddings, or couples who simply want to “tie the knot” and step into marriage with intention.

    And here’s the easy part: the ceremony is lovingly prepared as-is… no edits, no rewrites, no late-night decisions to be made— just show up, breathe, and say I do.

    Begins at $400

  • Sweet and Easy

    For couples who want a ceremony with more options and meaningful moments.

    You’ll choose from a collection of beautifully written ceremonies—each one crafted to reflect love with sincerity and heart. I’m happy to personalize your ceremony to fit your vision. If you’d like to play with the wording or incorporate ideas of your own I’m very flexible with including your creative inspirations.

    Want to include something special? We can add personal elements like a handfasting ritual, an oathing stone for your vows, or other meaningful touches that make the ceremony truly yours.

    You’re welcome to use vow samples I provide, write your own, or blend the two. I can create personalized keepsake vow booklets for you to read from during your ceremony-and to treasure afterwards.

    I’ll also guide you through visualizing your processional and recessional, so everything flows smoothly and naturally on your big day. If you’d like me to attend your rehearsal in person, I’m happy to do so—just note that there may be an additional fee for this service.

    Begins at $575
