About

CEREMONY WRITING WHEN FRIEND OR FAMILY IS OFFICIATING: I collaborate with the wedding couple to design and write a deeply personal custom wedding script and then coach their designated officiant to deliver it with ease and joy.

After officiating over 600 ceremonies, I am now collaborating with couples to design and write their wedding ceremony and then coaching a friend or family member to deliver it with ease and joy. Over half the weddings in the United States are now performed by family or friends because it creates tremendous warmth and intimacy in the ceremony. However asking someone to write and officiate a complete wedding ceremony can be overwhelming if they have never done it before. Now you can extend that invitation along with the assurance of a ceremony script and presentation coaching. Available globally over Zoom.

Areas of extensive experience and commitment include LGBTQ+ and Indian weddings, Interfaith and Intercultura.

Contact me for complementary video consultation.

A warm, thoughtful partner in our ceremony

Shyamala officiated our wedding and did a terrific job. When we first reached out to Shyamala, she set up time with us to learn about our family's customs, how we wanted to modernize them, and how it would influence her narrative. In a timely manner, she produced a draft of her speech and collaborated with us on weaving it into the ceremony's timeline of events. During the ceremony, Shyamala did a great job to make us feel comfortable in the moment. We'd highly recommend her as an officiant.

Excellent writer, listener, and orator

Shyamala helped make our big day unforgettable. She listened to our needs and crafted a ceremony that truly reflected us and our story. Our guests were blown away by the ceremony, with personal rituals like a "ring warming" that was unforgettable! She was wonderful!

A ceremony we will remember for years to come!

Shyamala Littlefield was and outstanding officiant for our wedding. We had about 175 people in attendance. She was able to personalize our service and really focus on what we wanted the ceremony to be. Those attending thought that it was the best ceremony they had ever been too. We highly recommend Shyamala. Blake & George

Shyamala created the most wonderful ceremony for my recent wedding. She asked the right questions, and created the exact feeling and emotion that we wanted for our ceremony. She was excellant to work with, and though we were somewhat last minute on deciding to hire an officiant (We had planned to use a close family friend who was no longer able to attend), she quickly did what she needed to do to get us back on track. I look forward to working with her again in the future and recommending her to all my future brides and grooms!
