Since 2009, I’ve performed over 400 ceremonies as a professional wedding officiant. I specialize in unique non-religious ceremonies and elopements, specifically serving the atheist, agnostic, humanist and LGBTQ communities in the Ann Arbor area.
To help make the ceremony planning process as easy as possible, I’ve created this comprehensive ceremony website, providing out-of-the-ordinary, completely non-religious, fully customizable ceremonies. You’ll find sample ceremonies, collections of readings and optional elements to consider.
My ceremonies are couple-focused, and it is always important to me that every word be meaningful and relevant to you. Even short elopements can be a profound and personal alternative to the courthouse.
When you find a reading, vows or poem that speaks to you and your individual relationship, and you get that “Yes!” feeling you’ll know you’re on the right track. You can also help me get to know you and personalize your ceremony by answering the “Telling Your Story” questions.
I am a professional wedding officiant with a tendency toward the non-traditional and unusual. I specialize in custom, non-religious and queer wedding ceremonies, helping couples find the right words to express their feelings and experience a personal wedding ceremony like no other.
When I’m not at a wedding or deep in a conversation, I enjoy time with my kids, friends, dog, gardening, arts & crafts, travel, kayaking, estate sales, games, reading, and tons of random projects.
