My business is The Everyday Shaman, LLC. I bridge the everyday and the sacred through ceremonies of love. I am a nondenominational ordained minister operating from Portland, OR. I hold liability insurance for officiating weddings and elopements. Not every officiant does this.
<<<PLEASE KNOW THIS... IF YOU CHOOSE ME OR ANYONE ON THIS SITE, WE PAY FOR EACH LEAD, WHETHER YOU HIRE OR DON'T. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN SELECTING SOMEONE... >>>
I love what I do. I love to help you and your beloved create a custom ceremony you both dream of. Let's make memories for you, your beloved, and those who attend your special day! Whatever creativity you have, let's have a chat. YOU DO YOU!
❤️
🌟
Whomever you choose for your officiant, I sincerely wish you the most beautiful day you and your beloved can have... ❤️
🌟
I don't do "cookie-cutter" elopements or weddings. I actually meet with the couple virtually, to give beloveds the ceremony they want. Even the smallest wedding or elopement takes time to craft. I truly want your ceremony to be heartfelt and all about the two of YOU!
🌟
I also offer a NEW OPTION of writing the ceremony, and having another officiant perform the ceremony. I can mentor the officiant, and that may be for someone who would like a family member or friend be the officiant. I can offer an eBook for that option, and you can be ANYWHERE, and have your custom ceremony that reflects you and your partner! $150 for the crafting of the ceremony and mentorship. For more detailed mentorship (your friend of family member may want this as their "side hustle", I will offer a deep-dive into what it takes to make this officiant a PRO!

Love IS Love! And you want your wedding to fit who YOU and YOUR PARTNER ARE! Let's create an event you will remember for a lifetime, filled with love.
🌟
I support couples in the “ceremonial” part of their nuptials, so they have the memorable event that they envision. I am a nondenominational minister, so clients that align with non-traditional ceremonies that are customized to their adventurous, fun, out-of-the-box lives will enjoy a ceremony that fit them.

🌟 🌟 I have a fun piece of art from my Coloring Book Calendar that I offer to my beloveds (it's a FREEBIE); you can color it with gel pens or colored pencils. You can see it in the photos. I can edit it to be circular (I'm a graphic designer with a lot of years under my belt). If it's a big wedding, we could have magnets, or note pads made from the art for wedding "gifts" to the attendees (NOT FREE; six weeks notice, and I will get a bid based on quantity). I do my best to make your event memorable, sacred, and fun.
