Personalized wedding ceremonies in Sarasota and throughout the Gulf Coast.

Your Sarasota Wedding Ceremony Should be Yours.
Sarasota is a beautiful place to get married, whether you’re getting married, whether you’re planning a waterfront celebration, a beach ceremony, an elegant venue or an intimate gathering of family and friends.
But no matter where you get married, the ceremony should be about the two of you.
I take a personalized approach to every wedding. Rather than giving every couple the same ceremony, I’ll help you create one that reflect your relationship, your personalities and the things that matter most to you.
Create Your Own Wedding Ceremony
Your ceremony. Your words. Your story.
Your wedding ceremony shouldn’t feel like a script written for someone else.
With my Create a Ceremony process, you have the opportunity to choose the elements that make your ceremony meaningful to you.
Vows. Readings. Prayers. Family traditions. Unity ceremonies. Personal stories.
You don’t have to know exactly what you want when we begin. I’ll guide you through the possibilities and help you bring everything together.
The result is a ceremony that sounds like you - not the officiant.
