About JD

I love weddings. It’s an honor to be a part of your beautiful connection and to help you craft a unique ceremony that exemplifies who you are.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology and I am legally ordained as a wedding officiant in the State of California through the Universal Life Church. I also have 20 plus years of experience in education and the arts. I love stories and I’d love to help you tell your story.

Together, we can create a traditional, non-traditional or alternative wedding ceremony or ritual based on your needs and desires. I have collaborated on both religious and secular ceremonies through the years. It is my pleasure to discover what is at the heart of your connection and to create a wedding or ritual that is meaningful to you.

In addition to weddings, elopements and vow renewals, I also collaborate with individuals and groups to create rituals for self renewal (4 Elements Ritual), child dedications and celebration of Life ceremonies.

Feel free to contact me for a no obligation meet and greet via Zoom, FaceTime, phone or email. I look forward to connecting with you!
