I work as both a pre-school teacher and a wedding officiant! I have officiated over 500 weddings since 2009. 

When my husband and I were getting married, I had such a hard time finding someone who really understood what I wanted. Many of the officiants I contacted wouldn't even have a regular conversation on the phone with me!

After our wedding, I told my husband that I think brides need me! 

I love being a wedding officiant, and am still friends with many of the couples whose weddings I've officiated over the years!

My job is to make your wedding day not only perfect, but also relaxing and fun!

​

For 25 years I owned and operated a fishing resort outside of Montreal, Quebec with my husband. I moved back to Pittsburgh and am now the friendly face you see at Our Neighborhood Market!

I have been officiating weddings for 4 years. I am here to make sure your special day is filled with joy, memories and of course love!

I want your day to be all about YOU. In the mean time here is a little about me.  2020, as with many, had me reevaluating so many things.  I had been working for the biggest coffee chain in the world for almost 20 years and was not finding the passion in it any more. While coffee of course made people happy, I wanted to do and be part of more. I endevored down two paths, one was opening a reformer Pilates studio and the other was of course that of YOUR ceremony officiant. I am pleased and honored each time I marry two individuals that I get to share in each couples unique story.  

With over ten years of experience in theatre, I know the importance of relationship building, and how to honor our relationships through celebration in community with those we love and cherish. It is beautiful to me that people find each other in often mysterious ways and decide to commit their lives to one another. What a momentous moment that is yours and yours alone! When I officiate weddings, my goal is to make everyone comfortable, to ground us in the what is really important, and to create an experience that is both full of charm and ease so that you may enjoy your moment as it perfectly presents itself!

I’m so excited to guide you on this final leg of your wedding journey. Working with a loving, devoted couple is both a joy and a responsibility I take seriously to ensure the most important part of your day is everything you’ve dreamt of. I especially love working with non-traditional couples, those who don’t fit neatly into a religious ceremony and those who may not look like the typical “bride and groom.” As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am a strong advocate for all couples to marry who they love! 

With a genuine passion for bringing people together, I believe that every couple deserves a ceremony that reflects their unique love story and the beauty of their commitment. My experience as the Human Resources Director at an exclusive private club has equipped me with the skills to create meaningful moments that resonate deeply. Becoming a wedding officiant allows me to channel that passion into making your special day unforgettable. There’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing two people unite in love, and I would be honored to officiate your ceremony with warmth, authenticity, and heartfelt joy. My goal is to blend professionalism with a personal touch, ensuring that every couple feels celebrated and that each guest shares in the magic of your union. Creating a cherished memory for you and your loved ones to treasure forever would be my greatest privilege.
