Friend/Family Officiant Support - Vow Writing
Premarital Counseling - Ritual & Meditation

Hey there, I’m Hope.

NYC wedding officiant and premarital counselor, working with couples since 2011.

I help couples build a marriage, not just plan a wedding day. Wherever you're planning from, I can be part of it — guiding you on your ceremony & vows, offering honest premarital conversation, and performing rituals that mark your amazing transition.

How I Work

Everything below can be done remotely, by video, which makes it easy to plug into your planning process from anywhere in the country. I work directly with the friend/family officiant, and you, the couple. I'm also happy to keep your planner in the know along the way!

Virtual Services

*Friend & Family Officiant Consultations*
For the loved one who's been asked to officiate. On Zoom, FaceTime or Google Meet, we work through ceremony structure, script writing, and delivery. This way the ceremony feels personal, polished, and calm, and your friend or family member feels ready.
*Ceremony Creation*
A custom-written ceremony script, built around the couple’s love story and vibe - including religion & culture - or not!
*Vow Writing, Editing & Review*
Support at whatever stage the couple needs — from writing vows from scratch to a final polish before the big day.
*Premarital Counseling*
Discussion-based conversations — not assessments — on The Big Issues, including communication, finances, family, and values.
*The Marriage Roadmap*
A high-level session to plan the next 5 years together, along with prompts for couples to have specific conversations on their own.
*Meditation & Ritual*
Grounding practices that mark the transition into marriage, including guided meditation, breath work, and The Threshold Ritual.
