Fully Devoted to You, My Couple…
My Background, Life Path, Beliefs and Values
I love this work I do. It is such an honor to be the Officiant for a couple’s wedding ceremony, whether it is big and formal, small and intimate, or a short-and-sweet elopement.
For more than a decade, I have worked with couples of all faiths and traditions (religious, spiritual, secular) as an ordained Non-Denominational Wedding Officiant & Minister, traveling throughout the Seattle/Puget Sound area and Washington State.
My devotion to each couple is the cornerstone of my work.
I am best suited to a couple who envisions their ceremony as the ‘heart’ of their wedding day. I do my best work for couples who regard their ceremony as the main event, and who want the person joining them in marriage to be experienced, passionate and devoted to them.

Beliefs + Background + Training
I embrace this work with a big and sensitive heart. I am open-minded, inclusive, and curious, with a life philosophy that is spiritual and centered on love and kindness.
I was raised in a Christian home, and I have studied and appreciate the traditions, beliefs, and rituals of other faiths. I have earned two Diplomas of Celebrancy from the Celebrant Foundation & Institute in New Jersey.
Before becoming a Wedding Officiant, I spent 15 years building and managing two successful event planning companies in Washington State. Prior to this, I was a television news anchor/reporter in three markets, after earning a degree in Journalism from Syracuse University.
