Our Officiant

"Your love story matters to me..."
Captured by JMillerPhotography

Hi! I’m Windi, over the last eight years, I've had the pleasure of serving celebrants from all walks of life, helping to make their union a unique, memorable event.

I am often asked how my journey as an officiant began. Like most who find their passion, I was “called” to it. I had the honor of serving my best friend on her wedding day. That was my first-time officiating, and I found myself wholly comfortable with speaking and holding space. I immediately fell in love with the “job.”  There’s nothing better than holding space for lovers as they share meaningful looks at the altar, whispering to each other under their breathe.  That magical moment when you state your vows—is a moment in time that is priceless, the energy is incomparable.

But officiating is more than that to me, it's the words of wisdom and encouragement that I get to share with you.  It's wiping your tears, giving you a hug or a high five.  It’s chasing your rogue toddler.  It's holding your dog during your elopement photos. It's sharing all of "the useless wedding day knowledge" and experience that I have acquired throughout the years with you and your family on your special day, to ensure details are not lost in the shuffle.  It's preparing a ceremony that makes you laugh AND cry.
But most of all it's about watching you walk back down the aisle happily married.

Professionally, I hold a degree in Psychology and Marketing, and I have over two decades of experience in the event and service industry. I really enjoy the lost art of conversation and learning more about what makes you and your family unique.  Above all, I know how important this day is, and I want you to feel supported and heard, your love story matters to me.

Personally, I am a very detail-oriented weirdo with an overzealous organizational style. I love humor—more specifically the art of sarcasm. I have a great "mom voice" that demands attention, and I am a professional cat herder. (Have you ever tried to get more than one cat into a box at a time?  It’s nearly impossible.) I can be firm, direct and a little bit sassy;  while also serving up a calming and gentle presence filled with support before and during those times of elevated emotions.  In my personal life, I am a seeker. I enjoy meditation, philosophy, reading, yoga, being in nature, growing my own food, dancing, going to live music, travel, building puzzles, lego, spending time with my family, friends and fur babies.

As a nondenominational minister and spiritual mentor, I am often asked what religion I practice; LOVE.
Love is my religion—love will conquer all. Love is a verb. 
I can’t wait to connect with you...

Here's what they had to say about their experience:
"Windi is wonderful! She has this way of making you feel so comfortable regardless of the nerves and emotions you're feeling about the big day. She is real, thoughtful, organized, and super fun." ~Erica and Marcus
