Personalized & Joyful Wedding Ceremonies in Tucson
Make your Tucson wedding ceremony uniquely yours! As a legally ordained minister specializing in destination weddings in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, I work with you to create a heartfelt, personalized ceremony that reflects your love story.
Serving Tucson, Green Valley, Oro Valley, Marana, and all of Pima County.
As a married gay woman, I know firsthand how important it is to find an officiant who makes you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease. My wife and I were lucky to have a family friend make our small ceremony perfect, and it's my mission to pay that forward. I am a non-denominational officiant dedicated to crafting a ceremony that authentically represents you and your partner's unique love story. Whether you dream of a traditional wedding, an adventurous elopement in the desert, or a themed celebration, I am here to make it happen.

IMPORTANT DETAILS FOR COUPLES
The Marriage License: You are responsible for obtaining your license from an Arizona court before the wedding and bringing it to the ceremony.
A marriage license in Arizona is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued.. (Arizona Revised Statutes § 25-121(A) states: "The license is effective for the performance of a marriage ceremony... for twelve months from the date and time the license is issued.")
Signing the License: Immediately after the ceremony, it must be signed by you two, two witnesses (over 18), and myself.
Venues & Permits: If you choose a public park or national park area (e.g., Saguaro National Park, Catalina State Park), you are responsible for securing any necessary permits.
Cancellation Policy: The deposit is non-refundable. Changes to date/time are based on my availability.
For all the license application details, please click on the link of the location below that you wish to attain your license from.
Important Information for Civil Wedding Ceremonies:
Following your ceremony, I will submit the completed marriage license to the courthouse for you. The Pima County Superior Court typically processes and files the license within 5-7 business days.
The signed license must be returned by the officiant to the county that issued it within 30 days after the ceremony.
This is based on Arizona Revised Statutes § 25-121(C), which states: "The person who solemnizes the marriage shall complete the license... and shall transmit the license to the clerk of the superior court of the county in which the license was issued within thirty days after the ceremony."
Please note that it is your responsibility to confirm the license has been filed. If you obtained your license through Pima County, you can verify its status using this link.
Once filed, the court will mail you one complimentary certified copy of your marriage certificate (this is the receipt portion of your license). Please allow up to one month after your wedding to receive this document.
