Ceremonies

Whether you are planning an Elopement, Micro Wedding, Personalized Ceremony, or Fully Customized Wedding including your Love Story, there are many options to consider.

Will you include any readings or rituals?

It's also important to know what the minimum legal requirements are for where you are getting married. In general, the ceremony will include the Statement of Intent ("I do") which is different from your Personal Vows (your promises to one another). And don't forget your Ring Exchange! This includes any messaging from your officiant before the actual exchange of rings with one more vow. It will also include the Pronouncement which makes things official!

Will your ceremony include a Marriage Address and/or Couple's Love Story? Will their be anything symbolic that honors family or cultural traditions? How about a ritual that symbolizes your past, your present, and future? 

There is no right or wrong in selecting a type of wedding ceremony. The length of time is also up to you. Some folks want to have a shorter wedding that includes the basics. Others will want to add on. It's up to you. And, if you are not sure where to begin...let's chat and figure it out together!

Please note that a License/Certificate Signing is an option for folks not having guests and adheres to the minimum legal requirements.

Please note: Fees vary on the details for each unique ceremony. Travel fees may apply.

Are you preplanning your own End of Life Ceremony, or is it for someone else? As you dive into planning and the grieving process, a Celebrant can help you create a ceremony that honors and celebrates your loss while keeping the person at the center of it.

Your loved one's life will be recognized and their story will be told. As an outcome of interviewing selected family and friends, it will feel like the person officiating knew your person. Because they will. Through you.

There are many options for what to do with the physical body upon death. Once that decision is made, allow a Celebrant to support your next steps. And to support you.

Many traditions include sharing the name of the newest member of a family. A baby naming ceremony can include storytelling, rituals, and a secular blessing for your little one's life journey.

Alternatively, a Celebrant can interview selected family and friends to create a unique first birthday experience. Imagine recording this event and lovingly embarrassing your young one in the future!

Just like weddings, this ceremony may be fully customized and personalized. It can include call backs to your original service all those years ago, or be completely new and unique!

Whether it is with your original rings, new rings, or a symbolic token, the words you exchange on this special day honor the journey you have already been on together as well as solidifies the path you are on now.

This service is also available to couples who are not legally married, do not intend on being so, yet want to celebrate their union.

If you have any children (human or fur) that you would like to include, just let us know!

Traditions from your culture, religion, or family can be integrated into a secular event.

A libation ceremony, candle lighting, handfasting, ring warming, breaking of the glass, and more can be personalized for modern ceremonies.

What rituals have you seen at ceremonies that you have attended? If you look at video or photographs from other ceremonies in your family's history, are there any rituals that you would like to honor?

If you think you would like to have a ritual but are not sure which one, simply let your Celebrant know what you are trying to honor or what feeling your want to create. Allow us to do the rest!

Name changes, retirement, adoption, anniversary, a new home or job, and other life cycle events can be celebrated in a way that honors you.

It truly depends on you. If you are wondering about it, it most likely can be done. Simply ask yourself: What is the purpose of honoring this change? What am I hoping to achieve? Share that with your Celebrant and let the creation process begin.
