Your Ceremony - Your Way

  • Ceremony at Glen Oaks in Big Sur with Officiant crossing the bridge

    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.

    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.

    ~ A Parents Blessing
    A blessing ceremony for the two of you and your parents

    The love you share with one another is the flowering of a seed your parents planted long ago. In many cultures, a couple's marriage is blessed by their parents before the wedding ceremony.

    A Parents Blessing is an intimate moment when your parents can bestow their loving wishes upon your union. In turn, you can give them the gift of your gratitude for all they have done for you throughout your lives.

    I'll create a private blessing ceremony where two families begin to become one. It's a heartfelt gathering in the days before your wedding, a quiet moment together before the celebration begins.

    $300

    ~ We Just Want to Make It Legal
    No vows, no guests, no ceremony—just the two of you, your marriage license, and a signature to make it legal without the ceremony! This is a simple and sweet option provided with a smile.

    $100 without a witness, $150 with a witness provided by Donna.

 Your love is unique. From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, all ceremonies are performed to reflect this. Each of the choices are offered with sweet Honey in the Heart.
