The Person Standing at the Front of the Room

Certified, experienced, and genuinely calm under pressure, which turns out to matter more than anything else on the day.

Personal Story

I first felt drawn to officiating after watching one of my friends get married. The officiant had such a professional, warm, and welcoming presence, and it changed the whole feeling of the room. It was amazing to see the impact he had on the couple and on everyone gathered with them.

Seeing the happiness he helped create made me realize this was work I would love to do. After a decade in management, I reached out to Tim Greathouse. He generously let me shadow him through rehearsals and ceremonies, and after his encouragement and time invested, I decided to make the leap into officiating myself.

My job is to help couples feel calm, supported, and fully present for their ceremony. I create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the couple, their families, and everyone involved, then guide the room through the moment with care.

Philosophy

A ceremony doesn't need religion to have weight. It needs specificity, the actual story said out loud by someone who took the time to get it right.

Timeline

How this became the work

First Spark

The ceremony that stayed with me

I watched a friend's wedding and saw how a warm, professional officiant could make the couple and everyone present feel genuinely included.

Preparation

Learning by shadowing

After a decade in management, I reached out to Tim Greathouse and had the chance to shadow real rehearsals and ceremonies.

The Leap

Stepping into officiating

With encouragement from someone already doing the work, I began officiating ceremonies with a focus on calm guidance and a welcoming room.

Now

Now booking across Ohio

Available for ceremonies anywhere in Ohio, with the same care and preparation for every couple regardless of package size.

Credentials

The formal part

Certified in Ohio and beyond

Legally authorized to solemnize marriages in Ohio and additional states, with all filings handled correctly and on time.

Shadowed live ceremonies

Prepared by observing real rehearsals and ceremonies with Tim Greathouse before booking ceremonies independently.

Ordained, Universal Life Church

The ULC provides the legal ordination many secular officiants use to perform ceremonies. It is a legal formality, not a religious practice or affiliation.

Approach

How I actually work

I ask before I assume

No detail of your relationship gets written into the ceremony without you telling me it's true first.

I write for the room, not the internet

A ceremony script isn't content. It's spoken once, to the specific people who'll hear it.

You see everything before the day

The full script is yours to read, edit, or reject two weeks out. Nothing is a surprise on the day itself.

Calm is the actual service

Anyone can memorize words. The value is in staying steady when the timeline slips by ten minutes.
