a note from Amanda updated 4/8/24

Hi there! 👋🏻 I’m limiting the amount of weddings I accept during the 2024 season to focus on my private practice and honor some work-life boundaries.

With that said, I still have a few dates available between August-December for day-of coordination.

I’m accepting officiation couples by referral only.

Look around my site and then fill out the contact form to set up a time to chat.

Happy wedding planning! Aj

Romantic, Inclusive and Magical Ceremonies

Congrats on your engagement! Now it’s time to plan your big day and you need someone you can trust to execute your vision. Not just any random person on the internet. Someone who can provide you with a sense of confidence, calm and presence during one of the most significant moments in your lives. As a day-of coordinator and a professional wedding officiant, I’ve got your back.

In fact, I have performed over 400 wedding ceremonies. Yes, you heard that right. If you want a ceremony that reflects YOUR love story and isn’t just someone talking at you and your guests about love then you’ve come to the right place!

Look around the site to get acquainted with the services. When you’re ready, submit an inquiry and we’ll let you know if there’s availability for your chosen date. Then we’ll schedule a consult. No obligations.
