— the marriage matters more than the wedding
For more than a decade I have stood beside couples on the most consequential day of their lives — not as a stranger reading a script, but as a guide who knows their story by heart. After several hundred ceremonies across Savannah, the Lowcountry, and beyond, one belief has become unshakable: the wedding is one beautiful day. The marriage is a lifetime.
My ceremonies are crafted in your language, your imagery, your truth. I weave in what is sacred to you — and gently leave the rest. Many couples also choose the premarital path, where I use the SYMBIS assessment and Gottman-informed conversations — drawing on Dr. John Gottman's four decades of research on what makes marriages thrive — to give the marriage itself a strong foundation before the vows are spoken.

Save Your Marriage Before It Starts — five focused SYMBIS sessions on communication, finances, family-of-origin, and intimacy. A marriage manual you wrote together.

Love Story Showcase
A glimpse at three of the love stories I have been honored to weave into ceremonies — the small details that become the heart of a wedding day.
Amanda & Evan
“Evan cooked the infamous, most interesting eggplant parmigiana with the missing ingredients, on Evan’s worst executed first date ever. It became a joke between them that lives on till today — and Evan promised himself to never cook it again for her.”
What she said about him
“Evan has the most amazing dimples and the most joyful expression when he laughs.”
What he said about her
“She is really easy on the eyes. I mean really though — she’s absolutely beautiful. Clearly out of my league, but she gave me a shot.”
Nicole & Bryan
“She was greeted by Bryan surrounded by one hundred lit candles when she realized the candles had a message in the way they were arranged — they spelled out ‘Will you marry me?’”
What she said about him
“I love how much he cares for me. I am a difficult person — picky, grumpy, stubborn, impulsive, you name it — and he still loves me.”
What he said about her
“She has given me a purpose unlike any I have ever had before.”
Rebecca & Adam
“When she least expected it, he proposed to her in the middle of the crowded, world-famous Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland.”
What she said about him
“Adam is a great man. He is a fantastic father, he’s ditzy, funny, incredibly smart, and my absolute best friend.”
What he said about her
“The fact that I get to marry my best friend is the greatest gift I could ask for.”

Frequently Asked
I am happy to officiate every kind of wedding. At Divine Marriage Union I believe love knows no boundaries — traditional or non-traditional, faith-rooted or faith-optional, regardless of religion or gender. I am here to help you create a ceremony as unique as your love story.
I am based in Savannah, Georgia and travel freely throughout the greater metro area — from Pooler, GA to Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, SC. For ceremonies further afield (Brunswick, Beaufort, Charleston, destination locations), a modest travel fee applies. Tell me where you are dreaming of and I will make it work.
For elopements and vow renewals I can schedule as little as 48 hours in advance. For signature and SYMBIS packages I prefer at least 2–3 months’ notice so we have time for the wedding workshop, your personalized love-story script, and the premarital sessions if you choose them.
All cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 7 days before the originally agreed-upon ceremony date. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required up front to secure your date on my calendar. For elopements and vow renewals, please reach out directly and I will share the specifics for those packages.
Over the years I have built quiet trust with a handful of local vendors whose work I would put my own name behind. If you are still piecing together your day, here are a few I happily recommend:
Tell me what you still need during our discovery call and I will make a personal introduction.
