Wedding Officiant · PA · NJ · NY · DE

Vows written in wonder,
spoken with grace.

Whether your ceremony belongs in a cathedral or a clearing in the woods — whether your vows quote scripture or your favorite fantasy novel — I officiate weddings that feel like you.

The Philosophy

Sacred and wild were never opposites.

I believe a wedding ceremony should feel like the truest possible version of your love story — reverent where you want reverence, a little magic where you want magic. I hold space for both.

The Sacred

Raised Catholic and comfortable weaving scripture, tradition, and rite into your ceremony — for couples who want their day to feel rooted in faith and blessing.

The Wild

Handfastings, moon phases, botanical blessings, and yes — a line from your favorite fantasy or sci-fi saga read aloud like scripture of its own. Whimsical, never watered down.

Meet Your Officiant

Hi, I'm Ashley.

I officiate weddings the way I'd want mine told: with real reverence, a sense of humor, and zero cookie-cutter scripts. My favorite ceremonies borrow from everywhere — a blessing from Mass, a line from a beloved novel, a nod to the moon overhead — because your love story doesn't fit in one box, and your ceremony shouldn't either.

I'm ordained and fully prepared to perform legally binding ceremonies across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware. Every ceremony is custom-written after we actually get to know each other — no templates, no filler.

— Ashley, Wild Grace Ceremonies

How We Work Together

Three ways to bring Wild Grace to your day

01

The Custom Ceremony

A fully bespoke script built from our conversations — your story, your readings, your traditions (sacred, whimsical, or both). Includes a planning call, a written draft, and one revision round.

02

The Guided Elopement

Intimate, low-fuss, still meaningful. A shorter ceremony designed for small gatherings, courthouse steps, or a clearing in the woods — legally binding, beautifully spoken.

03

Vow Renewal & Handfasting

For couples renewing their promises or adding a ritual element like handfasting or a unity rite to an existing ceremony — religious, secular, or somewhere in between.

Ceremony Styles

However you imagine "I do"

Every ceremony is written from scratch — these are starting points, not menus.

Catholic & Christian-Rooted

Scripture readings, traditional vow structures, and rites woven in with care and authenticity.

Fantasy & Storybook

Vows inspired by your favorite novels — think a line from your well-worn paperback read like a blessing.

Divine Feminine & Nature Rite

Moon phases, seasonal blessings, botanical elements, and a reverence for the wild and feminine.

Secular & Modern

Warm, funny, unmistakably you — no religious or mystical language required, just a great story well told.

"She made room for my grandmother's rosary and a quote from my favorite book in the same ceremony — and somehow it felt like it always belonged together."
