We welcome a variety of ceremony additions such as smudging, hand-fasting and unity or other ceremony ideas that you may have. We encourage our couples to create unique ceremonies that tell the story of who they are and how they will continue to support one another.

I was raised in a military family with many stops throughout Canada and even Germany, but Kingston is “where I’m from” and has been for 30 years.
If you are passionate about building lasting relationships that foster trust, respect, and love, then I look forward to meeting you and your partner and learning more about you.
From funny to formal or somewhere in between, I’m comfortable working with you to create a ceremony that meets your needs. I look forward to helping make your wedding day memorable.

I have a deep passion for the wedding industry, specializing in planning and officiating weddings across Southeastern Ontario. I am a curious, romantic, logistics enthusiast who thrives on collaboration and the joy of seeing wedding day visions come to life.
As an officiant, my focus is on intimate ceremonies and elopements, accommodating anywhere from two to twenty guests. I love brainstorming with couples and embracing creativity when it comes to crafting their vows and selecting ceremony locations.
You have a beautiful love story, and I can't wait to hear all about it.
