About

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM AWAY FROM THE OFFICE AND EMAIL UNTIL MARCH 18th. LOOKING FORWARD to CONNECTING THEN!

What's your story??

From the first meeting, I take the time to get to know you and your story together - where you met, how you fell in love, got engaged, what you love about each other. I then take these personal details and weave them into an original piece - your Love Story - that becomes the centerpiece of your ceremony. The result is a ceremony that’s engaging, fun, meaningful and (like you!) absolutely unique.

So if you’re looking for a wedding ceremony that’s as unique as you are, we're a good match! Whether your wedding is secular or spiritual, traditional or offbeat, in the city of Seattle or far beyond, I will help you create a beautiful, singular experience and a memory that you will treasure for years to come.

Contact me today about bringing your Love Story to life!

Well worth it!!

Arissa was the perfect choice for our officiant!! She was professional, very personable, and so sweet despite us being so frazzled!! She wrote an absolutely touching ceremony ❤️ She's very timely in her responses when communicating, and very detail-oriented. I would 100% recommend her :)

Incredible ceremony

We originally went back and forth about hiring outside of friends or family to officiate our wedding. We found Arissa through our planner and after reading reviews we knew we had found what we were wanting. After an initial phone meeting with Arissa we immediately hired her. Arissa kept in touch throughout the planning process and gave us many options when putting together our ceremony to make it feel like us. She guided us in our vow writing, being the in-between so we had a cohesive feel for our ceremony. We could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony. Arissa has a warming and kind presence about her that's just infectious. We had so many guests comment after the ceremony and ask where we found this woman. We still months later have family talking about what a special wedding ceremony we had, thanks to her. If you are on the fence, and thinking of having a family member marry you just leave it to the professional and let your family just enjoy the ceremony.

Great experience!

Arissa was fantastic to work with. She made the ceremony planning process so easy and fun. The love story that she wrote for the ceremony was amazing. We got so many compliments from friends and family and even people thinking that she must have been a family friend since she wrote the story so well! 10/10 would recommend her!

She was easy to work with and had very clear communication skills. If you want your ceremony done right, hire a professional officiant who will tell your story in a memorable way and who knows how to work with all the moving parts of a ceremony.
