Pagan Officiant in New York’s Adirondack Region
Let’s craft a handfasting, wedding, or vow renewal ceremony as magical as you are.
If you are on an earth-based spiritual path or simply have a deep reverence for nature, we can work together to design a sacred and meaningful wedding ceremony for you.
I serve Pagan, nontraditional, and nonreligious couples by creating with them unique handfasting rituals or blended interfaith wedding services. Your ceremony will feel warm and welcoming to your families and guests of all backgrounds while illuminating your love for each other and your own spirituality. You can have the handfasting, wedding, or vow renewal of your dreams without settling for a secular ceremony.
Your desired elements – handfasting, honoring the directions, elemental blessings, calling your chosen deities – can be included in a unique-to-you ritual or blended into an interfaith wedding service. Add sand pouring, unity candles, a broom jump, or any other creative touches you wish for. I will happily research the customs of your tradition to make your ceremony unique and memorable.

Envisioning a ceremony in the woods, on a mountaintop, or lakeside? I will be there with you. Hoping for a Renaissance or Faerie theme? I will don my garb. Wishing your dog could take part in the service? It can happen. LGBTQ+? I am an ally.
I am a graduate of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and an ordained interspiritual minister on my own earth-based path. I have been priestessing ceremony and ritual for three decades and bring professionalism and my own touch of magic to officiating.
Officiant services are available in and around the Adirondack Park in northeastern New York and in western Vermont.
Your wedding package includes a ceremony creation interview, crafting and editing a one-of-a-kind service, a rehearsal, and officiating. Information and assistance with obtaining your marriage license is available if needed. Please request an information sheet for packages and pricing.
