The Woods Retreat – Orono 7/7/2026

Words can’t do justice to this couple. Angela and Chelsea just radiated love and harmony and just “getting each other”! It was my absolute joy and honor to join these two together. The vibes they give off are amazing. The way they look at each other and just know what the other is thinking or about to say. I know I titled this bold but their love was more than that! The rain that morning set the tone for this “Goth” wedding. The setting on the grounds was stunning as well. Thank you again for the honor. Much love and happiness to you as you grow old together!

The Refuge – Oak Grove 6/24/2026

Megan and Konnor were super sweet to work with! Not to mention I work with Megan’s mom who is also a gem. The setting was beautiful, we had a very warm but clear and sunny day to celebrate this love! Megan looked breathtaking and Konnor looked very handsome in his light colored suit! They were surrounded by family and friends and you could feel the love flowing the entire wedding. I had fun being a part of the celebration that followed the ceremony. I was honored to officiate and honored to stay and celebrate your love! You have a great journey ahead and I wish you love and happiness all along the way.

Como Conservatory – St. Paul 6/20/2026

Sierra and Ben – what a beautiful sight to start my morning. 845 am and the flowers were in beautiful bloom but they were nothing compared to this flawless bride. The love that I could see flowing to each other through their eyes was electric. Her son, Wolf, was thrilled to be a big part of the ceremony having been given the important job of keeping the rings safe and holding the cord for the handfasting that was the final “tying the knot”. I am honored that I got to share this moment with them and wish them all the luck and love going into the future together!

Banquets of Minnesota – Fridley June 6, 2026

Marti & John were an amazing couple to work with. Everything was so simply done, yet beautiful. With no modern technology they showed that love is love even old school! No emailing, meeting in person or chatting on the phone, it was refreshing. The love that radiated from both of them at the alter was apparent to all in attendance. There weren’t a lot of dry eyes by the end of the ceremony. The were joined by a large group of friends and family to celebrate this new adventure in their lives. I wish you so much love well into the future (although I know you won’t see this unless someone shows you!)

With rising costs so many are looking for ways to have a budget wedding without it looking like a budget wedding! Brides are very clever when looking at cost savings but still getting the vision they are looking for. From DIY to Midweek and early morning or early evening – to avoid full meal service – Small, home intimate weddings, and elopements, none of these things taking away from the beauty of their special day! There is a lull in the industry (for now) so I am offering my services at a reduced rate during that quieter wedding time but the same great service. Give me a call!

Private Home – Rosemount – May 17, 2026

Kelly & John, after 14 years together decided the time was right to tie the knot! Moving soon to Tennessee they wanted something simple, short, sweet and to the point! The airline Goddess was on my side and I returned home to join these two in marriage in an intimate wedding in their home surrounded by close family. I wish you could see more of that wedding cake as it was made by granddaughters – it was lovely. Kelly looked beautiful, she has hardly aged since High School (We graduated together). The ceremony was as they wanted and included Jake… Can’t forget Jake!! (the family dog) decked out in a tuxedo. Good luck in your new adventures together!

Banquets of Minnesota -Fridley – May 14, 2026

Shamiyia & Ryan had a beautiful day to begin their marriage journey. Everything went off beautifully and it is always a complete joy to see that “first reaction”. I know that having the first look for photos is amazing but on the rare opportunity I get to witness a groom see his bride for the first time when she enters the room for the ceremony is always a treat! The guest even followed the color scheme and it was a very beautiful scene. I wish you all the luck and joy for your future together.

Banquets of Minnesota – Fridley – Nov 1, 2025

Samantha & Alec rounded out my couples for 2025. I have to say Samantha was one of the calmest brides I have ever worked with. She was on top of everything and very organized! She looked radiant in her beautiful dress and Alec made a very handsome groom. The day went without a hitch and I see a long and happy future for these two!
