Ecstatic Ceremonies

it to be. Every time I wanted to revise something or think of something different, she was willing to brainstorm with me. She is so loving and positive and patient. My family and friends absolutely loved every minute of our ceremony and raved about it afterward. I highly recommend her.

r family and friends loved every word spoken. Some were so deeply moved before our vows with her speech. It was such a beautiful ceremony because of Anna and we are so grateful for her! If you need an officiant, who is down to take a selfie with your family on stage, who feels like she loves your love as much as you do, and who just has the kindest demeanour, you need Anna!

for years—it truly felt like we had. Her words were heartfelt and sincere, and she created a ceremony that reflected us perfectly. We highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly meaningful experience.

que. Knowing that our wedding day was completely one of a kind is so magical!

rite a beautiful narrative of our story. The ceremony was absolutely stunning and exactly the joyful ceremony that we dreamed of. We had what is referred to as a progressive elopement ceremony, which means that the story and vows took place in multiple parts of the beautiful botanical garden where we got married. Anna seamlessly guided us through each location, making the entire experience feel magical and deeply personal. Her attention to detail and genuine care for understanding our relationship really showed in how she crafted and delivered our ceremony. Anna didn’t just officiate our wedding - she helped tell our love story in the most meaningful way possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to make our special day absolutely perfect!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

unicate with, and truly a natural at writing and speaking. She fit right into the family! She was able to incorporate everything we asked for into our wedding day to make it so special. I couldn’t have picked anyone better! Thank you so much for being you <3

h her. We had a small elopement and wanted a ceremony that was intimate and unique to us but also simple and brief, and she absolutely nailed it. She is an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, and we felt so well taken care of with her services. Thank you Anna!

r the wedding ceremony. Her contagiously buoyant energy made everything feel celebratory even when it could have been stressful, and her pure enthusiasm for the magic of true love came through in such an affirming way in every interaction. When it came to designing the ceremony, she seamlessly built in the special elements that we'd hoped to include (like the Scottish tradition of pinning the tartan), and she was excited to hear any feedback or ideas that we had while we workshopped the draft text together. As a side note, being a non-binary person in a straight-looking partnership had initially caused me to worry about whether I would feel truly "seen" in the context of a hypothetical ceremony -- but I went into the wedding day feeling so much more joyful and present because Anna had worked with us to hand-craft something that was beautifully, uniquely reflective of us and our love. On the day itself, Anna was such a sweet and supportive presence to have up there with us. The ceremony she delivered was sincere, mirthful, and elegant -- I lost count of how many of our friends and family came up to us afterward to say how moved they were. Everything was even more wonderful than we had hoped it would be, and we are so grateful that Anna was the one to formalize our marriage!

kindness and genuine care for us as a couple shone through in every interaction. They took the time to really understand our unique story, values, and personalities, creating a ceremony that was perfectly tailored to who we are. What we appreciated most was their dedication to inclusivity. They ensured that our ceremony was a reflection of love in all its forms, and everyone felt welcomed and celebrated. Their words were heartfelt, and their presence brought a warmth that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Many of our friends and family commented on how beautifully personal and authentic the ceremony felt. If you’re looking for an officiant who is deeply invested in making your day special, we highly recommend Anna. She will bring compassion, inclusivity, and a sense of joy that will make your wedding day unforgettable! Warm regards, DiAngelo & Marcus

he became a friend!

ng up to the wedding it was she knew us for years. Anna loves LOVE and all of our guests raved about her!!! We would choose her again in a heartbeat.

ayed our SOULS) and her thoughtful expression of her understanding of our love inspired us to write personal vows with the same level of poetic intention. She was also super open to edits and changes as we workshopped the ceremony together. Dozens of our guests made sure to tell us how beautiful our vows & ceremony and we couldn't have done it without Anna. Anna felt like a friend and confidante through the final push of wedding planning--she wasn't just there to do business but was genuinely invested in our love. I can't recommend her enough as an officiant and emotional/spiritual guide through the marriage process.

She did just that! Anna made us feel safe when being vulnerable and she made us feel heard when we offered feedback on our first draft. The final result was a beautiful ceremony that encapsulated our many years together, while acknowledging that our wedding was also a new beginning. It is also so important as a queer couple to feel comfortable, and Anna is absolutely the right choice for that! Anna felt like family by the end of the process and we are sad it's over! Thank you!!

live out of state, and even through Zoom "get to know you meetings", she was able to create the most beautiful, heartfelt, personal love story to tell at our ceremony. Everyone at our wedding commented on how amazing she did, and she felt like family to us. We had a wild weather situation at our wedding and Anna always had a calming smile on her face and made us laugh, without losing her professionalism. We know we have a friend for life now in Anna, and hope to meet again someday. I truly can't imagine having anyone else bring my wife and I into marriage. We love you Anna!!

way we could imagine. We couldn’t imagine anyone else officiating our wedding ceremony for us. Anna was flexible and accommodated everything we asked for. From visiting us in our apartment to do a meet and greet to driving all the way out to the coast to perform our ceremony she is truly an incredible person and we will never forget everything she did for us. She will always hold a special place in our heart and we now are honored to call her our friend. If you find yourself lucky enough to find her available for booking your wedding ceremony do not hesitate and book her as soon as you can!

erent. Her process is organized, thoughtful, and full of intention. She made a concerted effort to get to know and understand me and my partner and our unique story and connection, and a result the speech she crafted for the ceremony made us both feel deeply seen, and deeply celebrated. Our ceremony was a unique one—a poly wedding—and Anna navigated the non-typical terrain with grace. Both in the planning process and on the big day, she created a beautiful, protective container that allowed us to focus on our love, and let the more stressful parts of the wedding fall away. I am so grateful to her and so glad we decided to hire her!

s who she officiated for. Both experiences were amazing. Professionally, she is kind, responsive and flexible. Anna goes above and beyond to really make sure that couples feel seen and that their ceremony reflects what’s most important to them. Every ceremony she crafts is unique and so meaningful. It’s clear that she isn’t working with a standard script, but rather really taking the time to understand her couples and craft something that honors their journey/relationship. She clearly is passionate about her work and goes the extra mile for her couples. Hands down one of my favorite vendors in Oregon to work with.

She helped make our wedding really feel like “us”, and brought an extra-specialness to our wedding day that we never would’ve captured without Ecstatic Ceremonies being involved.

She designed an absolutely beautiful ceremony and wasn’t afraid to lean into the dark, gothic vibe we were going for. Her ceremony was truly one of a kind and she is a delight to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!

She was such a pleasure to have at our ceremony. I would highly recommend her for any type of wedding ceremony you’re planning, quaint or elaborate. You will not regret it.
