WEDDING OFFICIANTS

Ian Hooey

Ian brings a quick witted and often funny vibe to wedding ceremonies. I’ve worked with Ian many times, and while he has a core message that he uses, he always adapts it well to each individual couple and is very quick on his feet if anything unexpected comes up

Barbara Densmore

Barbara is a “wedding celebrant”, which costs a little more than a typical wedding commissioner but provides a much more personalized and intimate experience to the whole process all the way to the end of the ceremony. She works with couples to develop a personal message and story for both the couple and guests, and I always feel like I know the couple better after her ceremonies.
