The Ginger Officiant

THE OFFICIATING PROCESS
CONSULTATION: Before your big day we will work together to create the perfect personalized, custom script for your ceremony. Consultations are always free and can be done in-person, over the phone or through email.

UNLIMITED SCRIPT EDITS AND ADDITIONS: With unlimited script edits and unity ceremony additions the possibilities are endless! My past ceremonies average 15-20 minutes but you choose the script length and have final approval of the ceremony script.

WEDDING DAY: I will arrive early to the ceremony venue to meet with your coordinator, DJ, videographer and photographer and answer any questions as well as set up any items needed for the ceremony.
​
MICROPHONE AND MUSIC: If you do not have a sound set up at the ceremony site I have a wireless bluetooth P.A. speaker with microphone we can use. It is always travel with this with me in case of emergency.

FILING THE MARRIAGE LICENSE: After the ceremony is performed and the license is signed and notarized, I will file your marriage license with the County Clerks office and you will receive your paperwork from the state up to 10 days later.

​I was born and raised in Florida and spent the year after high school traveling the lower 48 states and even got to stop by Vancouver Canada for a weekend. After that I lived in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota for a few years before coming back to Florida in 2005.

After Officiating a friends ceremony in 2013 I was bit by the wedding bug, starting Ceremonies by Catherine soon after. Jumping head first into the wedding industry as an Officiant in March of 2015 and started coordinating events in September that same year and have been on a roll ever since.

When I am not working my magic at weddings I like to relax at home with my two black cats, Snooki and Sir Winston while listening to my favorite music which is a genre called Nerdcore. Look up MC Lars, mc chris, Schaffer the Darklord, Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew, Mega Ran or MC Frontalot (just to name a few) and give them a listen - you'll thank me later.

One weekend a year I attend a cosplay convention called Megacon where attendees dress in costume as some of their favorite characters from pop culture, video games, tv shows, movies, etc. My past costumes have been Nyan Cat, Grumpy Cat, She-Ra Princess of Power and Princess Peach. In 2017 I hope to attend as Sassette Smurf (she's a ginger like me).
