Simply Elegant Wedding Ceremonies by Seattle Wedding Officiants

Every couple has a unique story. My goal at Seattle Wedding Officiants is to help you tell it just the way you want to on your special day. I help you decide what you want your ceremony to look and feel like—and then take you through the steps to make it happen—just the way you dreamed it would.  (See a sample ceremony by clicking here.)

I’ve married all kinds of couples in lots of different settings: multi-faith, traditional Christian, civil, commitment and non-denominational ceremonies and more.  My passion is helping couples celebrate their love with a ceremony that they and their guests will remember: turning an ordinary wedding ceremony into the extraordinary.  In addition, I have officiated weddings at  a variety of locations: private homes, beaches and city parks, hotels and mansions.  I even joined a couple and their friends on a 3-mile hike to Tiger Mountain, Issaquah where the couple exchanged vows overlooking the Issaquah valley below (see photo in slideshow above).  I am always open to exploring new locations of your choice and welcome new requests!

I can also provide consulting so you don’t have to worry about the details, from venue to vendors, including flowers, photography, cake/cupcakes, a DJ, day-of coordinator and whatever else you need.

What makes me different? The couples I have married tell me that I:

• Helped them feel less overwhelmed about planning the most important event of their lives
• Was generous with my advice in their free consultation
• Am patient and flexible
• Am the “queen of organizing” so no detail gets forgotten
• Kept them calm and focused during the ceremony
• Kept their wedding guests engaged, so they could focus on each other on their wedding day
• Am sensitive and had a calming influence on the bride and groom’s pre-wedding jitters

I will help you craft a perfect ceremony and assist with the details so you can focus on the joy and happiness on your special day. Call me at 206-406-7919 or use this easy contact form. I now also offer free video to video SKYPE consultations.  Simply e-mail me  with a time to set up your video call and I’ll be available to answer all your questions and help you get started.

Customs, Rituals & Traditions: Let Them Eat Cake!

Wedding cake from Mike's Amazing Cakes

The Wedding Cake History:  In ancient Rome, marriages were sealed when the groom smashed a barley cake over the bride’s head. (Luckily, tiaras were not fashionable then.) In medieval England, newlyweds smooched over a pile of buns, supposedly ensuring a prosperous future. Unmarried guests sometimes took home a little piece of cake to tuck under…

Customs, Rituals & Traditions: Why do grooms carry brides over the threshold?

Over the wedding threshhold
