Spirited Commitments:
Weddings, Commitment Ceremonies, and Renewal of Vows

Your wedding day is a landmark in your life and in your relationship. Create a wedding ceremony that is as special and unique as you are. We will help you to make this day your own, and expressive of the distinct union that you share, through symbolism, ritual, words, and song.

We assist couples in designing spiritual, multicultural, or nondenominational wedding ceremonies. Your personalized ceremony will reflect your own beliefs, and will incorporate the traditions and rituals that are meaningful to you. It will allow you a sacred time and space to make a commitment and intention from your heart and from your deepest self.

We will talk with you to find out what is most important to and your relationship, collaborate with you to write the ceremony, rehearse with you, and officiate at the ceremony. We will find out what makes your relationship magical, and incorporate that into your wedding ceremony. Each individual piece of the ceremony will set the intention and create a symbolic framework for how you would like to experience and move through your relationship together. Often times, close family members or friends are included in the planning or ceremony itself, adding meaning and intimacy to the occasion.

You can make your wedding ceremony unique by:

• Writing your own vows
• Telling the personal story of your relationship
• Honoring parents, grandparents, or those who have passed
• Celebrating your heritage or heritages
• Finding new traditions that have meaning to you
• Blessings, prayers, readings and poems from diverse cultures and traditions
• Creating symbols to be used in the ceremony which will act as keepsakes for your love, your story, and your union
• Developing a personal mantra for your relationship
• Writing a ketubah, or sacred commitment contract
• Creating a hope chest that you can fill with symbolic objects of your life together during the ceremony

We can also help you prepare for your special day by facilitating engagements ceremonies, bridesmaid celebrations, premarital counseling, and purification ceremonies.
