About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Hello, and thank you for visiting A Wedding with Grace! I am a caring, nondenominational Wedding Officiant/Celebrant who has had the privilege of uniting couples in marriage for over two decades. I would love to get to know the two of you, hear your love story, and weave your history together, your ideals, and your hopes and dreams for your future into a distinctive, loving and authentic ceremony that speaks to the heart of who you are as a couple.

Your wedding ceremony is one of the most important moments in your lives; you've planned every detail to be personal, unique and a reflection of your personalities. Choosing the right officiant, one that truly connects with you and with whom you feel a partnership throughout the planning process, is essential to starting your wedding celebration with the right spirit - one that is joyful, inspirational, and full of love. My background in creative writing, film and literature is reflected in the beautifully articulated and exceptionally personalized ceremonies I perform.

Services Offered

From a simple elopement to a formal gathering with family and friends, I will work closely with you to set the perfect tone for your ceremony. I respect all faiths and philosophies, and am happy to incorporate prayers, ceremonies, or elements that hold meaning for you, as well as offering unique ideas and insight into creating a flawless ceremony for you. I have extensive experience in conducting interfaith and multicultural ceremonies, as well, having worked with couples from all parts of the world, and will joyfully integrate customs and traditions that honor your unique heritage. I believe in marriage equality, and welcome all couples. Love is love!

For those couples who wish to include their pets, I am a huge animal lover, and would be delighted to include these important family members in your wedding celebration!

If you are a couple wishing to renew your vows, I'd be honored to design and officiate a beautiful ceremony that celebrates your ongoing love story.

What You'll Love About A Wedding with Grace

My sole focus on your wedding day is to celebrate YOU, and the extraordinary love that you share, with a lovingly and meticulously crafted ceremony - one filled with joy, reverence, affectionate humor, and timelessness, and one that you will remember and treasure for the rest of your lives.

That's enough about me -- let's hear about you!

A Wedding with Grace at the Powel Crosley Estate

Grace did an amazing job officiating our wedding. Early on, we knew we wanted to be connected with our officiant. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls. She wrote and delivered a beautiful ceremony that left us with many happy tears. She made sure to accommodate all of our wishes in the ceremony, including specific readings presented by family and friends. She was in constant contact with us and always kept us well-informed. She gave great suggestions for other vendors as well, several of which we ended up using for our wedding day. She has officiated many weddings at the Powel Crosley Estate, so she knew our wedding venue well. She was able to meet us at the venue the day before for our rehearsal as well, which made us feel confident about the flow of the wedding ceremony the next day. She also gave us directions for applying for the marriage certificate, and took care of mailing it in after the ceremony. She made us feel very comfortable and like we had known her our whole lives! The time and attention to detail she took for our wedding was astounding. We could not have been happier to have her officiate our special day!

Personal Touch

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Grace for our wedding. She truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and the personal touches she added to the ceremony were so thoughtful and meaningful. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and heartfelt the service was, which is a true testament to her warmth and dedication. Grace made our day even more special, and we are so grateful for her!
