The absolute best officiant!

Rebecca was truly amazing in making our ceremony so special. She took the time to get to know us to create the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was lighthearted and fun, but also really meaningful and I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her!

Amazing experience

Our experience was amazing. Rebecca was very professional, helpful, and made our ceremony so special. We had multiple people comment afterwards that our ceremony was as if Rebecca had known us for years. It was perfect for us.

Owner & Officiant

Myers/Briggs Personality Type: INFJ

Patronus: A giraffe. Unexpected, totally awkward, but 100% awesome and somehow still graceful in its own way.

If your friends had to describe you in five words, what would they say? Insightful, dependable, deep-thinking, fun, honest.

If your kids had to describe you in five words, what would they say? Creative, nice, patient, weird, helpful.

Random Talents: I love to create things, from building furniture to painting to cake decorating to amazing sourdough pizza.

Something about you that surprises people: I’m an introvert and I often come across as pretty intellectual and reserved at first, so people are often surprised by my sense of humor and readiness to party.

Guilty Pleasure: Any and all sugary treats.

How you de-stress: Reading a good book, swimming laps or running in the woods.

Happy Place: The beach. Or cuddling up on the couch with my husband on a Friday night and not having to go anywhere.

Favorite part of a wedding ceremony: The moments before the bride enters, when I’m standing up front with the groom. Sometimes he needs a witty comment to relieve some anxiety, sometimes a tissue, and sometimes I get to just watch his reaction to his bride coming down the aisle up close, but it’s always sweet and beautiful and I never get tired of it.

Myers/Briggs Personality Type: ENFP

Patronus: This is cheesy, but the horse made of water from Frozen II. I had a horse in high school and felt like I was lifted out of this world when I was riding her. My patronus protects me by showing me my own strength.

If your friends had to describe you in five words, what would they say? Open, authentic, complicated, generous, deep.

If your kids had to describe you in five words, what would they say? Fun, weird, funny, creative, crazy.

Random Talents: I can stand on my head with ease! I can also talk to just about anyone.

Something about you that surprises people: I was a member of a rodeo team in high school as a breakaway calf roper.

Guilty Pleasure: Taking a nap in the early afternoon.

How you de-stress: I love to read, ride my bike, and do yard work. I also love a good cry - or a good hard laugh that turns into crying.

Happy Place: Sitting around a campfire or sitting in our swinging chair reading a book or getting lost in conversation with a dear friend. Also, cuddling on the couch watching a movie with my husband and two daughters or exploring a new city.

Favorite part of a wedding ceremony: I love the way the couple looks at each other - knowing glances that communicate more than any words would be able to. I love introducing them as a married couple to family and friends. I love the hope I feel from and for the couple as they start their lives together as a married couple!
