"Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony a unique experience, full of symbolism and love. It was truly the ceremony we had wished for... Weddings are supposed to bring people closer together as family, and that was certainly the case in our wedding!"
Stanny & Kevin

" emily! We are so glad we found you and that you helped us create a magical and memorable day. The ceremony was really beautiful and we loved the ring warming and the 'firepit' you brought. We were blessed with blue skies and beautiful colors, but it was the words you spoke that brought down the house. A million thanks. Brenda & Chris"

Certified Civil Celebrant,
Emily King:

"Several paths brought me to celebrancy. The first was my love of ritual and the spoken word. I was trained in both for many years in the theater as an actress, singer, playwright and director. Another was a growing desire to find a way to be more useful to my community and the world around us. Raised as a Roman Catholic and often a choir member in many denominations, I know the power of ritual and the belief stirred by the beauty of place, music, history and poetry. That energy can heal the individual and create a community out of neighboring strangers.

"Celebrancy offers a way to create a synthesis of beauty and power from many sources. Creating your unique ceremony -- by telling your stories, by calling on the riches of your cultures, by bringing together your family and friends in support of your union -- is the challenge and the delight of the celebrant's job."
