Farolitos at dusk · Santa Fe, New Mexico
The path
Every ceremony starts with a conversation and ends with two people married the way they wanted. Here is how the path runs, from the first call to the last signature.
01
Tell me the date and the place you have in mind. I'll confirm whether it's open before you build any plans around it.
02
A conversation, not an interview: how you met, what makes you laugh, who will be standing beside you, and what you want the room to feel like.
03
A full draft, from the welcome to the last word, built out of our conversation and revised with you until it reads the way you imagined it.
04
I hold the room and officiate the ceremony, then sign the license at the end — witnessed, and complete.
Ceremonies
Interfaith, nonreligious, blended, or borrowing from two traditions at once. The shape is yours to decide; I write it, hold it, and sign the license at the end.
Your ceremony drafted end to end — welcome, readings, vows, closing — then reworked with you until every line earns its place.
A walkthrough of the whole ceremony with your people: the walk, the standing, the rings and the timing, so the day itself is unhurried.
Prompts, structure and a patient ear for couples writing their own vows, plus a read-through so the words feel steady in your mouth.
One tradition, two traditions, or none at all — held with equal care and no assumptions about what you believe.
The license handled at the ceremony, witnessed and signed, so you leave married in every sense of it.
Courtyard ceremonies at dusk — the hour when the farolitos are lit and the room goes quiet on its own.
Santa Fe
Farolitos are an old habit in this town. Small candles set in paper bags, lining walls and walkways and windowsills as the light goes. They are not decoration. They are a way of saying: the path is clear, come this way, you are expected.
I write and officiate ceremonies in that same spirit — nothing rushed, nothing performed, a warm light at the end of a walk you already know how to take.
I'm based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I hold ceremonies here in town and around it: courtyards, chapels, back gardens, and the wide quiet in between.
Ceremonies are written, rehearsed and officiated start to finish — one steady voice, from the first conversation to the signing.
Booking
Tell me the date and the place you have in mind. I'll write back to let you know whether it's open, and what we'd do next.
