Introduction

I value the right for all people to be legally marriedto their chosen partner. If you are a queer, LGBTQ, or otherwise minoritized person wishing to marry your partner, I am offering officiant services at half my normal price through the end of the year (2024). If that price is still prohibitive, message me and we will work it out. Let's take care of each other. Love is love. As a woman offering wedding officiation, I provide a flexible, personalized wedding service which is as traditional or as unique as you desire. I also offer weddings in American Sign Language, if participants happen to be Deaf/Hard of Hearing. I love engaging with couples to create a wedding experience which uniquely reflects their personalities, preferences and situation. I love to bring a caring, supportive, enthusiastic presence into the process of creating a the couple's "perfect day", whatever that looks like for them. Note: I rarely book weddings more than 6 months in advance, but if you want to request me for a date more than 6 months away, send me a message and we'll see what we can work out.

We were fortunate to have Tessi officiate our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From our very first meeting, Tessi exuded warmth, professionalism, and genuine interest in making our ceremony perfect for us. On the day of the wedding, Tessi conducted the ceremony with grace and poise, capturing the essence of our relationship beautifully. She navigated through the ceremony seamlessly, ensuring that every word spoken resonated with us and our guests. What truly set Tessi apart is her genuine passion for what she does. It’s evident she that she take great pride in uniting couples in love, and her dedication to crafting a ceremony reflect the uniqueness of each couple is unmatched

We had a super crazy theme that required Tessi to step outside of her usual script/speech. She not only embraced but excelled at making our ceremony amazing! If you're looking to go outside of a traditional wedding ceremony Tessi is your person!

We wanted a small wedding with family and needed an officiant. Tessi helped us make that happen, she was professional and personable. We wanted a non religious but heartfelt ceremony and Tessi was the perfect officiant for that.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base fee for a wedding is $100 with the ceremony I provide. Customizing the ceremony to fit exactly your ideas is an additional $25, and facilitating/attending the rehearsal ranges $25-$50, and travel can cost an additional $50-$150 depending on how far from Columbia/Fulton/Jefferson City area I have to travel. I offer pre-wedding consultation and counseling sessions as well; contact me for details and pricing! I do not usually book weddings more than 6 months out, so if you're planning far in advance, feel free to contact me closer to the day!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My new-customer process is as varied as my customer! Some people just need an officiant to show up, ready to perform a marriage, others would prefer to meet virtually in advance and carefully craft exactly the service they desire. I'm flexible, depending on the needs and the situation, but I always strive to be easy to work with, prompt in my communication, and fully invested in your needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm an ecumentical minister, serving primarily in the field of spiritual direction, and have completed the training program of Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation, Washington, DC. I'm also a certified, licensed American Sign Language interpreter, which means I'm able to perform a wedding in either ASL or English, or a combination.
