Queer, Secular Wedding Officiant in Seattle

I’ve been planning and attending weddings for almost a decade. I have watched and listened to many, many wedding ceremonies and, over the years, I have learned what makes a good one. The answer? An officiant who takes the time to get to know you and creates a ceremony that showcases your personalities and celebrates your relationship – exactly as you are.

I have also heard my clients asking over and over: “Where can we find a secular wedding officiant who gets us?” because the truth is that it can be really difficult to find someone who does. At Aisle Less Traveled, I have always worked to be a brand and a person who embraces and serves folks who are often overlooked by the wedding industry: those of us who are not straight, white, skinny, wealthy, and Christian and who don’t see ourselves in much of the wedding media.

So I’m exited to introduce wedding ceremonies for my people – you independent, feminist, LGBTQ+ (or ally) types who are looking for a progressive, secular wedding officiant to create a meaningful and joyful wedding ceremony that works for you!

Wedding officiant service includes:

Writing a secular, feminist, LGBTQ+ inclusive ceremony for your wedding
One pre-wedding consultation to review the details, including processional/recessional order, music, and any readings or rituals included
Officiating your ceremony
Completing and returning your marriage license to the appropriate government official

As always, I’m all about giving you the details you need before you spend time inquiring – so here you go!

Everything in the short & sweet package, plus you can choose 1-2 readings and incorporate a unity ritual (such as handfasting, sand ceremony, or a unity cocktail). This ceremony lasts about 10-15 minutes.

You will have the opportunity to review the ceremony script, request changes, and approve the final text.

This package is available Sunday-Friday in the Seattle metro area.
