Your Quad City Wedding Ceremony Officiants
Wedded Bliss Ceremony Officiant
I am a non-denominational wedding officiant who writes and performs custom ceremonies. I pride myself on getting to know clients so that each couple feels they were married by a friend. I began officiating weddings in 2016 when a friend asked me to officiate her wedding. I was flattered, but nervous. The more I crafted her ceremony, and spoke with the couple about their vision, the more passionate I became about the process. I am an English teacher by trade, but officiating has allowed me to use my strong people skills and writing skills in a new way, while helping couples live out their vision of the perfect wedding ceremony. I specialize in custom ceremonies, which begins with each couple completing the love story questionnaire. This allows me to learn about each couple’s history so that I can compose the ideal ceremony. This process is perfect for anything from a traditional wedding to a ceremony where belief systems are blended to create something unique.
