My Ceremonies
I provide custom, non religious ceremonies that reflect your personal style and love story. We work together to create your wedding memory. Most backyard couples like to keep it simple and honest. Not too much from me and just the right amount from you. Don't worry if you've no idea what you want - that's why I"m here!
Pets are especially welcome at my backyard ceremonies!

Over the last two years all my weddings ended up outdoors. I loved it! If I could do my own wedding over again I would have it in my backyard. They are low stress, high happiness and so creative and funky. Officiating at backyard weddings sometimes means going with the flow, and other times you need someone to take charge a bit. I'm good

I'm good with both and always have tissues ready for the happy tears :)

Our plans kept changing and we ended up having our ceremony in a friend's backyard forest. Clare was so flexible and supportive. Our dog loved her too!
