    as sincere a risk and delight as marriage itself.

    Ian. complete stranger. meets us one afternoon.
    and over beers he promises soul.
    i'm smiling. intrigued.
    the silence between
    waiting and wedding
    he's emailing us. crafting.
    day of. i'm watching the cold peoples
    i've known all my life
    clutch each other's hands.
    sniffling and doe eyed.
    you'll be asked if he's your best friend.
    and he may be.
    we're without proof such passion
    existed.
    Ian demands it of himself.
    he is without comparison.

    Ian - our officiant and friend.

    Our wedding was on August 15th, 2021 at Rivaura in Juliaetta, Idaho. John and I have been together for nearly three years now and our wedding was absolutely perfect. We booked Ian a few months before the wedding and without him, I am not sure it would have went as well as it did. He was so incredibly helpful during the whole process. With helping on our vows, which I had no idea how to write without his advice. We met with him via zoom a couple times since we don’t live close to him. Ian is so down to earth and we felt a closeness to him, like he is family or a long-time friend.
    We felt like we wanted to get to know Ian and his significant other more so it was natural to want to invite him to the family dinner the night before the wedding. It was so nice to get to know him and Jocelyn more, our kids really loved them too. During our meetings with Ian, he came up with a personalized speech for our guests and for us. He sent it to us for review prior to the wedding, making sure it was appropriate and met our personalities.
    Wedding Day- Ian helped us with the rehearsal and how we were going to walk and with whom, what order. Truly, a life saver as neither John nor I had been to many weddings. We wanted our children as the bridal party, not traditional but we felt that our three girls and two boys needed to be up at the altar because they are our world. We are not religious at all and Ian had no problem at all preparing his speech and helping us with our vows. After the ceremony, we really wanted Ian and Jocelyn to stay with us to celebrate with our family and friends. They met with our guests and I’d consider them our kids’ new uncle and auntie! They were just so approachable, friendly and considerate to us and the people we love and care about.
    John and I both feel that we made the absolute best decision in hiring Ian as our officiant and would recommend him to anyone else getting married. Our wedding would not have been the same with anyone else. We fell Ian genuinely cares about both of us and ensuring our most important day of our lives meant something more. We look forward to keeping in touch with Ian, because he isn’t just an officiant, he is a friend, someone that went out of his way to make our marriage more special and memorable.

    Experience of a Lifetime!

    Ian is as charming, personable and authentic as a human could ever be. The ceremonial magic felt with him officiating our wedding was true bliss. From the moment we first asked him to marry us to tying the knot, Ian explored our relationship and the essence of our love to create the story of our life. During the ceremony, he portrayed our love through a beautiful story encapsulating specific highlights of our journey together. Ian’s ability to create and hold ceremonial space is remarkable. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that my wife and I had such a righteous human marrying us!

    Forever grateful to Ian.

    Forever grateful to Ian for officiating the marriage with my beloved Leo. The personalized script he wrote for us was very touching and emotional. After a short interview with us, he was able to verbalize the essence of our love history, setting a very romantic tone to the ceremony. He understood our beliefs and our intentions about marriage and set an impactful blessing for our union.
    Not only is he charismatic to officiate weddings, he is profesional and works closely with each partner to make the ceremony as special as can be. Thank you Ian for helping make our wedding unique and unforgettable.

    A service for everyone

    Ian was spectacular! He took ample time to compose a ceremony that genuinely captured Nate and I, took kindly to the small change we had, and had a wonderful presence at our ceremony. Ian adds charm, beauty, and the perfect touch of humor. When it came to the day of, Ian was even helping us put the ceremony together. And then there are our parents, who were reluctant to not use our church’s pastor, and now ABSOLUTELY LOVE IAN! If you ask my parents what their favorite part of the day was - they say, Ian’s sermon. I’d have to agree as well! Thank you Ian, for curating our perfect day.

    Relationship Coaching Sessions with Ian

    As a woman, it is so refreshing to be coached by a man who is 100% solid and comfortable with big feelings. With Ian, I feel absolutely safe and held. In our sessions, Ian invites me to slow down into myself in a way that I have never experienced with another coach. This is definitely his superpower! His voice and presence are so solid and soothing that I am able to relax into myself in a powerful way that makes real change happen quickly. Ian can handle whatever I bring and he so skillfully helps me to see my blindspots while offering sincere loving kindness.

    Talented, motivated and personable.

    Ian was flexible, accommodating and has a real knack for officiating weddings. We met with Ian 4 times before our ceremony to get to know him and after our experience I would consider him a friend. He wanted to give us the ceremony we wanted and took criticism and suggestions very well. He has enough experience, paired with his personalized approach, to give you a truly unique ceremony.
