The Officiant

10/05/2026

There are ceremonies that touch your heart, and then there are the ones that anchor themselves deep into your soul. ✨

Standing with Tela & Jack this past Saturday on the very land where generations of love began was an honor I will cherish forever.

This gorgeous property in Argyle holds so much history...it’s where Tela’s mom grew up, where Tela and her siblings ran and made childhood memories, and now, the sacred ground where she and Jack began their forever.

I’ve had the joy of knowing Tela and her wonderful family for several years, and getting to know Jack as we crafted their ceremony made it even clearer why these two belong together.

Under a golden October sky, surrounded by the vibrant fall foliage and the warmest family and friends, every word spoken felt rooted in pure love and intention.

To stand between them, look out at the hills, and pronounce them husband & wife was nothing short of magic.

Tela & Jack, it is with tears in my eyes that I wish you a marriage rooted in strength, filled with adventure, and held with the kind of love that makes your heart feel like it's jumping on a trampoline. 😘

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Lithgow! 🤍🍂

I needed a few days to let the dust settle before I could even begin to put Monday into words.

When two people meet in an eighth-grade earth science class and stay by each other’s side for fifteen years, their wedding ceremony isn't just an exchange of vows. It’s the culmination of literally growing up together.

Under the canopy at Foxfire Mountain House, surrounded by a tight-knit circle of family and friends who flew in from Nevada, California, Missouri...the list goes on, Molly and Matthew promised each other forever. You could feel the weight and the warmth of every single mile traveled to be in that clearing.

Fifteen years of inside jokes, changing seasons, and building a life from the ground up, all leading to this quiet, wooded clearing.

It was raw, deeply romantic, and an absolute privilege to tell their story.

Congratulations, Molly & Matthew!

Some connections were just written into the landscape from day one. 🌲✨

Meeting your person at 16 at summer camp is special. Being the one chosen to tell that story years later? That’s everything.

When Megan & Ryan asked me to officiate their wedding, I knew their ceremony needed to feel just like them: grounded, authentic, and honoring a journey that started as teenagers and grew into an unbreakable partnership.

My role as The Officiant isn’t just about standing at the altar to read standard script lines. It’s about learning who two people are together, pulling the heart out of their history, and crafting a moment that lets them and every single person in those seats feel the real weight and joy of the commitment they're making.

Yesterday, surrounded by 100+ of their closest people, we celebrated where they started, who they’ve become, and where they're going next.

Megan & Ryan, thank you for trusting me with your story, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥂✨

I am so excited to officially announce the launch of my new website!

As a modern, narrative, and story-driven professional wedding officiant, I wanted a digital space that truly reflects the heart of what I do.

Your ceremony shouldn't just be a formality; it should be the heartbeat of your wedding day. The true magic lives in the authentic, unscripted moments, the inside jokes, and the deep, intentional promises you make to each other.

My goal for every single couple I work with is simple: to take the stress out of the ceremony narrative and replace it with a space that is completely, beautifully yours. No stuffy templates or cookie-cutter scripts; just a celebration and experience rooted entirely in your unique story.

Take a look around, explore what we can create together, and let’s start telling your story: www.theofficiant.llc

Even after officiating so many incredible love stories, there’s always something magical about experiencing a venue for the very first time.

Allison & Michael’s gorgeous wedding on Saturday, September 12th at The Eldred Preserve was my very first time at this stunning property, and it completely stole my heart!

Surrounded by 50 of their closest family and friends, every detail from the breathtaking autumn florals to the pure warmth of the room was absolute perfection.

So honored to be the one to pronounce them married! 🥂✨

“How long have you known your officiant? It felt like she’s known you for years.”

That’s the compliment you want to hear at your cocktail hour.

Asking a friend or family member to officiate sounds sweet in theory—until the day arrives. Ask any wedding planner, DJ, or photographer: having an amateur with an online ordination often means shaky hands, microphone feedback, eyes glued to an iPhone screen, and a lot of quiet panic at the altar.

Worst of all, it puts the pressure right back on you to manage it.

A professional ceremony isn’t stiff or generic. It’s custom-crafted to your story with the stage presence to back it up.

Let your favorite people sit in the front row, sip ch*****ne, and simply be your guests. Leave commanding the room to a pro.
