A Little About Me…
On July 7, 2021, I proudly celebrated 7 amazing years as a Wedding Officiant, performing nearly 1000 ceremonies to couples from around the world.
I believe one of the main reasons couples hire me is because I customize every ceremony I perform to ensure a very personal and memorable experience.
I began my career as a Wedding Officiant in Las Vegas and made a promise to myself that I would NEVER show up with a "canned/cookie cutter ceremony." That doesn't mean your ceremony will be long, boring and complex - it simply means that your ceremony will be created with content that best expresses the love you share for one another.
There are no words to express the overwhelming honor, love, and blessings I receive as I unite each couple in love. For these reasons, I am very passionate about what "I Do" and pour my heart into each and every couple I work.This profession is the most rewarding and fulfilling of all my life experiences.
Am I The Right Officiant For You?
It is equally as important to me, as it is to you – that we have a warm connection. To determine our compatibility, we will converse on the phone, in person, or just be pen-pals through email, and get to know each other.
This is your life changing day and you MUST be comfortable with the person that is uniting you in marriage.
MY WEDDING OFFICIANT RESUME
My career as a Wedding Officiant began in Las Vegas where I served weddings and vow renewals along the Las Vegas strip, private homes and in the state parks. And yes...I have stories - you can't even imagine the "non traditional" weddings I have served!
Typical weddings/anniversary celebrations I serve range from small elopements of 2 people to 350 guests. My largest audience was at the Sam Boyd Stadium at the USA Sevens Rugby Tournament in Las Vegas in front of 40,000 fans and televised in 200 countries. Scary...absolutely, but exhilarating! They asked me back to marry 4 more couples, so I guess I did ok.
I have performed heartfelt ceremonies for:
- International couples (many that did not speak English);
-
Poignant ceremonies that were a last wish for a terminally ill bride/groom and/or family member;
-
Private ceremonies for celebrities from around the world.
-
Ceremonies for disabled and special needs couples;
-
Ceremonies in hot air balloons, yachts, gondolas, on the beach, in the ocean, in a mansion, in a train car, in a barn, a chapel, many backyards, golf and country clubs, in the mountains, on a helicopter, in an airplane, in a limo, a pod on the High Roller, hotel suites, state parks, at museums, wineries, balconies and rooftops, a professional baseball diamond…and I’m sure there are more.
I have performed at least 30 different types of unity traditions and enjoy creating creative content within a ceremony that truly represents your love story and personalities. That said, if simple and traditional is your style - then that is exactly how your ceremony will be written. This is about you and your preferences - not just a "one size fits all" ceremony used on other couples.
I want your experience to be magical, meaningful, memorable, and all about the two of you. Your guests are your greatest gift on your wedding day and I have several options to include them and ensure they remain engaged throughout your ceremony.
Let’s create your memorable wedding experience together!
I look forward to hearing from you and being a part of your life changing celebration of love!
Hugs and Blessings,
Bonnie
