ECSTATIC CEREMONIES


LGBTQ+ WEDDING OFFICIANT, CEREMONY WRITER, AND DIY WEDDING COACH

As an officiant, it is my deepest honor to contribute to a world in which true love, joy, beauty, and magic are uplifted. Believed in. And as a queer wife and mama, it is my humble privilege to cherish, protect, and celebrate queer love. Our love’s visibility makes the world so much more beautiful; so much more free.

I do this by preparing wedding and commitment ceremonies that are emotionally vulnerable. That call in your past, present, and future. That honor those ancestors who are no longer with us here on earth, and that invite their presence in so that you can feel whole on your wedding day. Ceremonies that make you laugh and fill you with joy. Ceremonies that are full of breath and life. Ceremonies that honor your full personhood; the people you were and the people you are now becoming as you walk through the portal of lifetime commitment to each other.

I offer packages on a sliding scale because I believe that beautiful, personal, love-filled events should be accessible to everyone. I can’t wait to meet you, work with you, and most importantly, celebrate you!

Kind Words

From Clients and Colleagues

    Anna, you are one of the greatest joys we've experienced planning our wedding! We love your thoughtfulness, your care, and your sheer joy!

  • P+N, 2022

    Absolutely loved working with Anna!

  • From Marissa Solini, Photographer

    I’ve had the opportunity to work with Anna for multiple events and have gotten to witness firsthand how thoughtful and caring she is in her officiant work. Each ceremony I’ve seen was lovingly customized for the couple and spoke directly to their unique journeys through life. She found ways to help couples honor their lost loved ones, speak from the heart, and feel connected to each other throughout. Aside from leading the ceremony, Anna has a warm demeanor and personality that lends to her being an incredible asset on a wedding day. She is kind, welcoming, dedicated, calm, and reassuring. I would highly recommend Anna for any officiating, ceremony writing, or event planning help! You’ll be glad you did!

Come say hi on Instagram!

Friends! As a queer couple, my wife and I knew building our fam would take a he** of a lot more money than we wanted it to. So for us, throwing a lavish, expensive wedding was simply not in the cards. And get this. I am SO happy it wasn't. Y'all.
Haaayyy new followers! A little about me (part 1): Here's a photo of me with my wife Hilary (L) and our baby Ayomi! He's an extremely serious baby as you can see here 😂 and he's the best! We are proud cat people. Our cat Tooey considers herself A
As a vow writer, even I get stuck sometimes. My best tip if you're stuck too? Give yourself creative boundaries. Pour yourself a cup of tea, set a timer for 10 minutes, and free write as much as you can about your love in that time. I promise, ther
All it took was ten minutes of drafting our guest list before my wife and I began debating whether we should even have a ceremony at all. It was a LOT! We both wanted to make everyone happy, but the bigger the guest list got, the more stressed we be
ANYONE can officiate your ceremony! Whether they're your sibling, best friend or coworker, a few clicks on the Universal Life Church's website (not a sponsor) can turn anyone into a minister (or other vague and non-denominational clergy member- lol)!
A good ceremony is magic. A good ceremony transforms us from one state to the next, deeply, within our hearts, if we allow it to. And it's vulnerable to allow it to. It's really freaking vulnerable to allow ourselves to admit that we actually DON'T
👋🏻 Little known deadline alert! ✅ Did you know that you actually *can't* get your marriage license until 60 days (or less) before your ceremony? If you're an over-planner like me, you might wish you could get it sooner, so you have one less thing
