CREATING AUTHENTIC, PERSONAL CEREMONIES FOR ALL COUPLES

I'm Rachael, a licensed wedding officiant serving Ashland, Kentucky and the Tri-State area. I specialize in non-traditional, personalized ceremonies that reflect who you actually are as a couple.

ALL LOVE IS We_LCOME HEre

Whether you're LGBTQIA+, interfaith, non-religious, or just want something different from a traditional ceremony - I'm here to help you create a wedding that feels like YOU.

mY APPROACh

Your wedding should feel authentic, not performed. I take time to get to know you as a couple, understand your story, and create a ceremony that reflects your actual relationship - whether that's funny, deeply romantic, quirky, or quietly meaningful.

I don't require premarital counseling. I don't push religious elements unless you want them. I won't make your ceremony about my beliefs - it's about yours.
