Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am not an affectionate person. I was not looking forward to being put on display in front of 200 people to get married. But I did know that K would help me get through it. K was our officiant for our Wedding in 2019 and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. As a family friend, I knew K could give us the ceremony we wanted, and boy did she deliver. We wanted spiritual but not religious, we wanted special but not cheesy, and most of all we wanted someone calm, cool, and collected like K. From the blessings before dinner to the entire ceremony she made everyone feel welcome and loved. I honestly think I looked more at K than my now husband during the ceremony because I was so nervous. K has a genuine presence that makes everyone feel included, important, and at ease. She has a calmness about her that is infectious and makes you want to be a better person. I can’t recommend K’s services enough! No matter your event, whether it be a celebration or a time of need, K will provide that beacon of light to help you get through it.

As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls.

Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

Marc and I have been deeply in love for years, and we truly feel like the luckiest people in the world. While we typically don't engage in official celebrations or rituals, a friend of ours recommended Father David after their own wonderful experience.

His joyful spirit and insightful guidance provided exactly what we needed to make our wedding unforgettable. We are thrilled to say that our wedding was absolutely splendid. Thank you, Father David, for being such a vital part of our celebration! It was one of the best decisions that we made. Lena

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.
