You’ve been asked to officiate at a wedding! CONGRATULATIONS! 

You feel so honored that they asked YOU of all people. 

You say, “Yes!” Then you ask, “What would you like in your wedding ceremony?”

And they say, “We don’t know. We’ve never done this before.”

But neither have you! So you freeze a little bit inside. 

You google, “How to officiate a wedding” and a million and one basic scripts pop up. But nothing shows you HOW to officiate.

You really start sweating when you picture standing in front of ALL THOSE PEOPLE. All those people LOOKING AT YOU. 

And the couple’s faces - your loved ones looking at you with all the hope that you can do this, that you can make their WEDDING DAY special…and not choke.

I know exactly how you feel! I remember feeling so honored by the request but then…feeling cornered too.

All I wanted to do was connect my Bride-friend to a great officiant who I knew and respected. But by the time I finished telling her about Jim and how he used to co-officiate the most amazing ceremonies with his beautiful wife who’d passed the year before, she asked me, “Would you co-officiate with him?” 

“Me?” I said, beyond perplexed. “Yes,” she said expectantly, “You’re clearly passionate about this!”

Fortunately, I HAD HELP. Jim walked me through step by step from the script creation to the Rehearsal, from the Day-of care of the couple to the Ceremony itself, all the way to the signing of the Marriage License.

That was 14 years ago and saying "Yes" to my friend was one of the best decisions of my life. 

Now it would be my honor to help get you to the altar feeling confident.

Intimate Setting: You'll be speaking to a "crowd" of two: the couple you already know and deeply care about. It's all about creating a meaningful connection with them, making them feel truly heard, seen, and celebrated on their special day.

A Different Role: Your goal is not to entertain an audience, but to facilitate a heartfelt ceremony for the couple. You hold the key to creating a deeply personal and memorable experience for the ones who matter most.

The Best View: Imagine having the best seat in the house, facing the couple with all of their loved ones watching. As the officiant, you'll have the privilege of standing alongside the couple, guiding them through this momentous occasion while having their full support and trust.

But at his memorial in one of those venues, the coordinator approached me asking if I was still going to officiate. I said, “I’m not official!”. Katya looked me straight in the eye and said, “Well, get official! You’re the only one who knows how he officiated such special ceremonies.” 

And she was right! What Jim did was pure magic! And I was the only person besides his late wife that he had ever co-officiated with. 

Despite my full-time job working for the county, I could not shake Katya’s command. Before I knew it (only two weeks later!) I was standing at a table with a banner and business cards. With that I’d dived into the deep end and have spent the last decade and a half swimming my way into the best career I could have dreamed of.

In those years since, I became an expert in the art of ceremony design with a specialized focus on weddings. I’ve been a certified Marriage Celebrant since 2010. 

I’m wildly passionate about helping each couple tell their unique love story through their ceremony, representing their beliefs and what marriage means to them, and creating unique elements that both they and their loved ones really enjoy.

I feel privileged to have officiated for nearly 200 couples. Standing at the altar is such an honor, but it’s also the best view in the house, because you get to be up close and personal with the couple, while also seeing all of their loved one’s faces filled with joy and expectation for this couple’s marriage. 

Naturally, I’d love to marry every couple! The joyful feedback from guests and couples always includes that they didn’t realize weddings could be so special and meaningful. But the inspiration for creating this online training didn’t come from the countless happy couples I’ve married. Rather it came from other vendors and their horror stories that started coming up as more and more people asked loved ones and friends to be their officiants.

“Heather, I wish you could teach people how to do what you do - especially all these inexperienced officiants!”
