It all starts with your story. Personalized, inspiring, big hearted and light. We’ll laugh and we’ll cry. Together we’ll celebrate your story and connection. Whether it’s just the two of you overlooking Schwabacher’s Landing, your nearest and dearest gathered for an intimate celebration, or the boujeeiest of boujee classics at a private country club, I put the focus of your ceremony right where it needs to be, on the two of you, coming together to celebrate your love and commitment to a future together.

Once you reach out, I’ll follow up with an email and we’ll set up a time to talk. This first session is an interview of sorts (Skype, FaceTime, or over the phone), it’s on the house (no charge), you guys vetting me, me learning more about you, your hopes, expectations and desires for your ceremony—oh, and what you don’t want (like cheeseball corniness, lackluster content, and preachy pretentiousness). After I learn about your vision for your day, I send a quote, contract and questionnaire. If you sign, we go big, if you opt out, I wish you all the best. Depending upon how much you put into the questionnaire will determine how many times I need to get you on the phone (this I do individually, not as a couple). It’s fun, you make a friend, and I make two.

My job is to tell your story and tell it well. I wordsmith what you’ve shared with me through the questionnaire, via email, text and phone calls. I create the juicy stuff, the laughter, the tears, the joy, the magic, the inspiration. My job is to honor your story and the power of your connection and the occasion. My mission is to thoughtfully create a ceremony that’s authentic, genuine, moving and worthy of your special day. In the words of a recent couple via text, the day before the big moment, “😂 the ceremony is the least of our worries with you.” There’s a lot to think about and fret over leading up to your wedding day, with me, one promise I can make for certain, is that you don’t have to worry about the ceremony, I’ll be there, and I’ll deliver.

Whatever fits the occasion, but it will usually include a tie, shades of blue, and floral, Hawaiian style socks (Father’s Day gifts from my wife and daughter each year). My goal here is to blend in and shine the spotlight on the two of you, so I’ll check in on what you’re wearing, and will try not to wear the same color suit as the groom or out dress the bride : )
