Whether you're eloping on a mountaintop, planning a grand celebration, or renewing your vows in a quiet garden, I’m here to help make the moment unforgettable. With years of experience and a passion for storytelling, I create personalized ceremonies that reflect the heart and soul of your relationship. No cookie-cutter scripts — just heartfelt words, a touch of whimsy, and a whole lot of love.

What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to crafting ceremonies that are as unique as the love stories behind them. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop, celebrating with friends and family in a grand venue, or sharing an intimate moment in a quiet garden, I bring a deep sense of purpose, creativity, and heart to every ceremony.

In three words: Confident, Fun, Positive

    Unite With Shannon

    We loved working with Shannon! Shannon is very friendly and responsive to questions and kept us on track. Shannon shared a lot of ideas for unity activities or other ways to add a personal touch to our ceremony. We highly recommend adding the love story! That was a very fun and special way to hear each other’s perspective and our guests enjoyed it too. Guests commented on the ceremony being very personal, lovely, impressive, perfect, and that Shannon was kind and cool. Thank you Shannon :)

    From our first conversation, Shannon had us feeling at ease about our ceremony. She stayed in close touch leading up to the wedding and showed up right on time, which meant the world to us. What really stood out was how she wove our story together with warmth and humor—her storytelling made the whole thing feel personal and genuine. Shannon paid attention to the details we cared about and brought her own creative touches that made our ceremony truly ours. We loved having her be part of our special day and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant.

    Shannon is amazing!

    From our first conversation, Shannon was incredibly responsive and easy to work with as we planned our ceremony. She took time to understand what mattered to us and made the whole process feel relaxed and natural. On our wedding day, Shannon handled everything smoothly, even when our pups decided to steal the show during the vows. Her laid-back approach put everyone at ease. Shannon is exactly who you want standing beside you when you say "I do."

    A Dream Experience

    We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding day. Shannon was professional and easy to work with from our first conversation, and she genuinely listened to what we wanted our ceremony to be. She took the time to learn our story and wrote a ceremony that felt completely authentic to us, incorporating our values and beliefs in a way that felt personal without being over the top. During the ceremony, Shannon shared our love story with such care that it sounded like we had written it ourselves. Her attention to detail and respect for what mattered to us made our day feel special and true to who we are. We'd recommend Shannon to any couple looking for an officiant who will get to know them and deliver a ceremony that's uniquely theirs.
