Every couple has a story. The best wedding ceremonies communicate that story, and share the hope of what the next chapters might look like. It would be my joy to participate in one small part of your wedding story, and to help shape what you share with your wedding guests and one another as you write the next lines of your story as a married couple.
I have worked for 20 years as a minister and have had the privilege to attend and officiate many weddings. As an officiant, I love hearing the journey that got a couple to the point of deciding to take the marriage leap, all the ins and outs and ups and downs that make them who they are as a couple, and what helped them decide it’s worth it to keep going on the journey together.
My wish for you is that the ceremony planning and execution are the smoothest, easiest, and least anxiety-inducing elements of your wedding planning process. I want you to feel heard, cared for, and get the exact ceremony you want for your big day. I want the wedding ceremony to be a reflection of your hopes and dreams as a married couple, and set the tone for your next steps together on your life journey.
Janie's Story
When I’m not officiating, I work as a corporate coach and consultant where I focus on establishing and strengthening positive relationships in the workplace. I also do a lot of work in the emergency room of a children’s hospital.
Just like officiating weddings, this work has taught me the importance of having a strong foundation in a relationship and the need of every couple for community support.
In my off hours, I love doing all the outdoors things the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I also enjoy playing volleyball, watching Wes Anderson movies and I’m always on the hunt for the best breakfast sandwich. Let me know if you have any recommendations!
