What is your hometown?
Sarasota
What types of products/services do you offer?

Custom wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, and elopements.

What areas do you service?

Southwest Florida but open to anywhere in Florida!

What inspired you to start your business?

I married my dear friend and her now husband in their backyard in 2019 and I was hooked! I studied Weddings at the Celebrant Foundation and Institute in 2020 and set up my business! I learned how to write them and make them meaningful and memorable and why it’s so important. It’s been the greatest joy of my life!

What makes your business stand out from others in your category?

The personalized touch. My commitment to creating a ceremony that represents the couple and all that is important to them and in making it memorable for the couple and family and friends.

Describe your ideal client:

Couples that want their ceremony to be special and realize that it is the KICKOFF of their wedding day and it should set the tone for the rest of the day!

What is something vendors would be surprised to know about you?

I really have FOMO as I don’t get to stay for the reception and I feel I miss all the fun with the vendors!

Fun facts:

I love lighthouses, I teach yoga, Pizza is my favorite food, I love dogs and paddleboarding!

Favorite place to meet with other vendors:

Local and unique coffee shops!

Favorite gift to receive from another vendor:

A handwritten note is THE BEST! Truly. (okay…a slice of pizza is good too!).

Is there any additional information you would like to share?

I’m always SO happy when I get tagged from other vendors on IG on weddings we’ve worked together. I’ll usually repost and I will always tag everyone I can (if I have your IG handle!)
