Rituals That Reflect You
Honor Your Story, Your Way
Handfastings, unity rituals, shared drinks, and creative moments—your ceremony can include as much tradition (or as little) as feels right to you.
Your Love, Your Symbols
Symbolic gestures, ancient or newly created, can make a ceremony unforgettable. From tying the knot, to sharing coffee, planting a tree, or painting a picture together, rituals bring meaning and personality to your moment. I will help you choose or design a ritual that feels true to your love, your story, and your values. Some are joyful, some are quiet and sacred, some are quirky. All are welcome here.
The Original “Tying the Knot”
Handfasting is one of my most requested rituals—and for good reason. It’s ancient, inclusive, and deeply symbolic. During the ceremony, I gently wrap cords, ribbons, or fabric around your hands to symbolize your union and intention. It can be short and simple, or expanded to include vows, blessings, or participation from family members.
Popular with couples from Pagan, Celtic, Wiccan, and spiritual-but-not-religious backgrounds—but truly beautiful for anyone.

Include the Ones You Love—However You Define Family
I love incorporating kids, pets, chosen family, or even your guests into the ritual if that feels meaningful to you. From ring warmings to pet blessings to group affirmations, we can weave your community into the moment in a way that feels just right. And yes, I have a soft spot for wedding dogs. 🐾
I’ll Help You Choose the Right Ritual—or Create a New One
Steps:
We will chat about what matters to you: your story, your culture, your vibe.
Together, we will choose a ritual that fits; then I will craft the wording and the flow into the ceremony.
You show up, be present, and feel the moment unfold.
Your Ceremony, Your Way: Down to the Last Detail
Traditional, modern, upbeat, offbeat, or spiritual, your ceremony should feel like you. Let’s create something together that moves you, and stays with you long after the day is done.
