Yes. I am an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church, a non-denominational organization that has been ordaining ministers since 1962. Universal Life Church ministers are legally authorized to officiate weddings in California. As part of your ceremony, I will also guide you through the proper signing of your marriage license to ensure your marriage is legally recognized.

Yes absolutely! If your desired date and time is available (even if it’s same day), and you have your marriage certificate in-hand, I would be delighted to be a part of your ceremony.

It can be as long or as short as you envision. Generally, most ceremonies are 10-25 minutes.

Yes. In California, couples must obtain their marriage license from a county clerk before the ceremony and bring it with them on the wedding day. I will sign the license during the ceremony along with your witness(es), and help ensure it is completed correctly. After the ceremony, the license must be returned to the county recorder’s office so your marriage can be officially registered.

(Tip: Be sure to bring the license with you — without it, I’m not legally able to perform the marriage.)

Yes. My husband and I operate a small farm in Nevada County where we host intimate elopements and small wedding ceremonies in a peaceful Sierra foothill setting. It’s a lovely option for couples looking for a simple, nature-centered place to get married.

Special full elopement packages are available for ceremonies hosted on the farm. Feel free to mention it in your inquiry if you'd like more information, or see the “Elopements” tab at the top of the page for more information.

If you already have your marriage license, and just want a quick ceremony somewhere beautiful, we have a mini-elopement available at the bottom of this page. We provide an officiant, a witness, and access to the farm for an hour for photos.

In California, at least one witness is required to sign a public marriage license (which is the most common type). Many couples choose a close friend or family member to serve as their witness.

If you're planning an elopement, there are a few easy options. Couples often ask their photographer to act as their witness, or they may bring a friend or family member. If your ceremony is taking place on our farm as part of an elopement package, a witness is provided.

If you have questions about witnesses or logistics for a smaller ceremony, I’m always happy to help you find a simple solution.

While my officiant services focus on creating and performing your ceremony, couples who choose to elope on our Nevada County farm can take advantage of our all-inclusive elopement packages.

These packages include your ceremony with officiant and witness, dried flower bouquets or boutonnieres, a celebratory toast, locally baked treats or small wedding cakes, and special touches to make your day feel effortless and memorable. Couples also receive a discount on staying in our French Victorian Farmhouse Suite, along with access to our curated list of trusted local vendors for photography, hair and makeup, and other enhancements.

Pricing begins at $1,500 in winter and $1,900 in summer, depending on the season and day of the week.
If you're interested in eloping on the farm, feel free to mention it in your inquiry and I’ll happily share more details.
