I am blessed to be able to join two people as they start their lives together! I share their happiness and joy to begin the journey of marriage! I bring my love into the ceremony and understand the feelings of the bride and groom and their families and share in the beauty of joining together in holy matrimony!

There are many ways to elope. We create romantic and unique ceremonies to fulfill your needs. Coming from Northeast Iowa, we're well-versed in traditional and non-traditional weddings. We've performed services across the Midwest and United States, and we tailor our services to meet your every need on your special day. Want to marry atop a waterfall? We can do that. In a carousel? Sure, that works for us. At the courthouse? Of course, it's your wedding! Reach out to let us know what we can do for you.

Chapel available for on site ceremonies, please contact for availability Travel? Yes I do. Please let us know if you are active, retired military ( 10 years or more of active duty) or about to be deployed. I also offer senior discounts. Received the "Best of 2015" and Best Pro 2016 and 2019 award on "Thumbtack". Top pro award of 2020. Silver level for 2021. I am sorry, we do not offer reception facilities or "license signing only" services. A non refundable deposit of 50% is required for all ceremonies, but can be applied to any rescheduled date. I look forward to hearing from you.
