I officiate weddings, elopements, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and handfastings.

Any kind of wedding ceremony whether official through the state of for personal purposes.

Absolutely. I work with couples of all backgrounds and beliefs, from traditional religious ceremonies to completely secular celebrations.

For clarification purposes, I am not ordained by any church and am non-denominational in nature. I am authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia to perform legal ceremonies.

I believe your ceremony should feel like it belongs to you, not pulled from a template. Every couple has a unique story and I take the time to create a ceremony that reflects who you are and the commitment you're making to one another.

I serve couples throughout Virginia. Travel fees may apply for locations outside our standard service area.

The sooner the better, especially during peak wedding season. However, I am often able to accommodate much shorter timelines depending on the ceremony demands.

I'll schedule a planning consultation and send over our couple’s survey for you and your partner to complete, then we can discuss your vision, and begin creating a ceremony that reflects you as a couple.

Most ceremonies last between 10 and 30 minutes, I have also done 5 minute ceremonies and 1 hour ceremonies. It is solely up to you and what you desire for your day.

In general, quick elopements and microweddings run the 5-15 minute range, traditional ceremonies can look more like 30 minutes.

Yes. I am happy to incorporate handfastings, unity ceremonies, family vows, jumping the broom, and other meaningful elements into your ceremony.

Rehearsal attendance is available depending on the package selected. We can discuss your needs during your consultation.

No, I can use the traditional wedding vows, you can exchange personal written vows. The options are truly endless. The beauty of the modern wedding is that you and your partner do not HAVE to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Let’s make some new traditions.

Nope! Back yard weddings are just as important as weddings at The Graduate.
Let’s meet along the banks of the James and tie the knot! Anywhere we can legally be in public is fine by me. (within reason- let’s say no parking lots)

Love is love, and I am honored to celebrate it. Bonded Pair Ceremonies proudly welcomes couples of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations.

That’s okay! After you fill out your couples survey I’ll have a pretty good idea on what you are looking for in a ceremony.
