Officiant
As a Wedding Officiant & Humanist Wedding Celebrant I encourage an atmosphere of relaxation and humor, including only what you want in your wedding ceremony in Half Moon Bay or the San Francisco Bay Area.
Approach To Officiating
It’s your special day and should reflect who you are as a couple; you are the focus, not me.
Many couples save time and travel by making all arrangements via email and phone discussions. I’m happy to make appointments in the Half Moon Bay area for those who prefer to go over the details in person.

Ceremony Fees
My Wedding Celebrant fee is based on ceremony location. Most couples save the rehearsal expense by having me not attend a rehearsal; the wedding location staff conducts it or there is no rehearsal. On the ceremony day I lead everyone through each element we decided on previously.
