Overview

Congrats! I’m Talley I'm a professional actor and wedding-day Comfort Coach. You deserve a ceremony that is as wonderful and weird as your love story. My services range from simply showing up to an in-depth process of interviews and co-writing vows and sermons. My signature offering is Comfort Coaching: targeted sessions to learn techniques for those wedding-day nerves: everything from keeping away the shakes, how to move in formal wear, and feeling comfortable speaking.
I can officiate secular, Christian, and pagan weddings, incorporate rituals, and help with the legal process. Let's talk!

*I offer a flights+meals-only rate for Arkansas clients. This helps me visit my family.*

Extra unique and a peaceful presence

Talley was awesome to work with! She was professional and communicative. She did a great job answering any questions we had and prepared us well for what to expect during the wedding rehearsal. She tailored her speaking points to us and what we valued in our relationship. You could really tell she put time and effort into coming up with what she would say so it didn’t just feel generic, but special. Talley was a genuinely kind person and a positive presence to have around during this busy (somewhat stressful if I’m being honest) time. Would definitely recommend her!

About

Hi there! I’m Talley. I’m a wedding officiant and professional actor. I love telling stories. Weddings are the ultimate chance to tell a couple’s gorgeous, always unique, story.

In a lot of ways, weddings are like live theatre. Thanks to over ten years’ experience as a theatre professional, I can promise preparedness balanced with a cool head during those last-minute emergencies. I know how to craft a meaningful story, engage those in the room with us, and keep the focus on the real stars of the show: You.

Additional booking notes

Nothin! A microphone is usually helpful, but it's not necessary (after all, only those getting married REALLY need to hear).

Setup requirements

We will discuss based on your personal desires.
