Frequently Asked Questions

How do we book you?

Start by reaching out through the contact form or email me directly. We'll schedule a consultation to discuss your vision, values, and ceremony preferences. Once we've connected and confirmed the date, I'll send over a contract and deposit to secure your booking.

Do you perform non-religious and interfaith ceremonies?

Absolutely. I'm experienced in secular ceremonies, interfaith unions, and religious traditions of all kinds. My approach is inclusive and respectful of every couple's beliefs and background. Whether you want no mention of God, references to multiple faiths, or a traditional ceremony, I'm here to honor your vision.

Do you travel outside the Bay Area?

I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area and regularly officiate ceremonies throughout Northern California. For destination weddings further away, I'm happy to discuss travel accommodations and additional fees. Let's talk about your plans!

Can we write our own vows?

Of course! Writing and exchanging your own vows is one of the most meaningful parts of a ceremony. I can help you craft them if you'd like guidance, or you're welcome to write independently. I'm comfortable working with any vow style or length.

What's included in the consultation?

During our consultation, we'll discuss your love story, values, vision for the ceremony, any cultural or spiritual elements you want included, and logistics (timing, location, guest count). I'll ask lots of questions to get to know you both. For customized ceremonies, we may have multiple consultations.

How far in advance should we book?

I typically recommend booking 3-6 months in advance to ensure your preferred date is available and to allow time for thoughtful consultation and ceremony development. That said, I can accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability—reach out to discuss your timeline!
