"My husband and I absolutely loved working with Daria. As a couple getting married and making plans from overseas, we knew we would hit some kinks and potential complications but she was diligent, prepared and flexible with us."

Custom Wedding Ceremony
A wedding ceremony that tells your love story, and feels like “you”
Searching for a wedding officiant who will say Yes?
The Custom Wedding Ceremony service is perfect for you! I provide you with the experience of a professional wedding officiant, to ensure that you feel supported and comforted during the writing process as well as the wedding ceremony itself. Together, we’ll create a personalized, meaningful ceremony that’s just the right length, and feels like you.
Feeling nervous or a bit of stage fright? I completely understand about nerves! Rest assured, I’ll be right there to guide you the whole time. (You cannot mess this up, I promise!)
Creating Your Ceremony
My years of experience as a wedding planner, combined with my training and ordination at an interspiritual seminary, has gifted me with a deep love and understanding of different cultural and religious beliefs and rituals. I pull from this treasure trove of ideas as I incorporate your unique love story into your ceremony, taking cues from your own lives, your family’s backgrounds, and the world’s wedding traditions.
The result is a wedding ceremony that is a perfect blend of everything that is meaningful to you as a couple, and as a family; and a joyful, sacred, unforgettable experience.

Meet Your Wedding Officiant
I bring a lifelong adoration of words and writing; excitement about finding creative ways to incorporate unique situations and multi-cultural traditions; a “let’s do this!” supportive attitude; and a true love of weddings. My training as an interfaith and interspiritual minister means that I honor all paths and religions as love-centered, and it’s my joy to say Yes to all couples!
I will listen to your love story as we co-create a wedding ceremony that feels like you, while also honoring family backgrounds and traditions. And on the wedding day, I will guide you through the ceremony with loving leadership, so you can be fully present as you speak your heartfelt wedding vows to your spouse. I promise, you will feel at ease and uplifted in our circle of love!
It's time to get married!
I can’t wait to hear about your wedding dreams, and help you turn them into reality.
