Ceremony offerings

Ceremony is a way of pausing time. It invites us to be present with change, to celebrate, to grieve, to honour, to begin again. Every ceremony I bring to life is collaborative and deeply personal. We’ll work together to co-create something that reflects your values, beliefs, and unique story.

Mark the Moment

Life gives us moments that ask to be seen, honoured, and held with care. From weddings to farewells, new life to brave new chapters, ceremony is a way of pausing to say: this matters.

I create personalized, heart-led ceremonies that reflect your values, story, and desires — no templates, just thoughtful collaboration and meaning made real.

WEDDINGS

Modern, soulful weddings crafted with care. Whether you're eloping, planning a destination celebration, or creating something entirely your own, I’ll guide you in co-creating a ceremony that feels like you. I welcome and celebrate all kinds of love, and hold space with care for couples of all identities, backgrounds, and beliefs.

Includes:

  • Planning calls & my custom questionnaire

  • Custom-written ceremony

  • Unlimited edits

  • Legal officiating

Optional:

  • Vow Guidance

  • Rehearsal

Becoming Ceremonies

Becoming takes many forms. A baby is born. A parent is made. A name is claimed. A new identity is stepped into. These ceremonies hold space for the tender, transformative moments when life asks us to grow, shift, and arrive more fully as ourselves.

Whether you're welcoming a child, honouring your transition, marking your journey into parenthood, or celebrating a chosen name, these rituals are crafted with care to reflect your truth, your values, and your becoming.

Together, we co-create a ceremony that feels grounding, affirming, and personal —woven with storytelling, symbolism, or sacred quiet.

Perfect for:

  • Naming & welcoming ceremonies

  • First-time or evolving parents

  • Chosen family and LGBTQIA+ celebrations

  • Postpartum thresholds

  • Gender-affirming name rituals for children or adults

Transition & THreshold Rituals

Not every milestone comes with a script.
I offer custom rituals for endings, beginnings, and the spaces in between, whether it's the end of a relationship, a move, a career shift, or simply the need to mark a moment.

Because:

  • Closure and celebration aren’t just for weddings, babies, and funerals. Your becoming deserves to be witnessed, too.

End-of-Life Celebrations

When a life ends, words and presence matter. I create memorials and celebrations of life that honour your loved one’s essence with tenderness, storytelling, and truth.

Options include:

  • Collaborative eulogy writing

  • Grief rituals and family private services

  • In-person or virtual ceremonies

Investment

Every ceremony is thoughtfully crafted and unique. Wedding ceremonies begin at $375 for simple signings. Transition rituals and other ceremonies vary, please reach out for a personalized quote.

I believe in access, so please don’t hesitate to reach out, we can usually find a way.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Hi Julia! We wanted to extend our deepest thanks for the incredible ceremony you crafted for us. The depth and intention you brought to every moment made it feel so uniquely “us,” in a way we never knew was possible. You truly captured the essence of who we are, and we’ll cherish that forever. The way you told our story to our friends and family was absolutely perfect. Everyone felt so connected to the ceremony, and you really blew them away—especially considering they’ve only ever experienced traditional ceremonies before. We’re still hearing about how meaningful and special it was! We’d be thrilled to recommend you to anyone we know getting married!

  • Julia, We’re finally back from our honeymoon but I wanted to tell you we got so many compliments about you as our officiant. Our guests thought you were a friend of ours, and kept coming up to us to tell us how emotional and beautiful the ceremony was - because of you! I am so beyond grateful that we found you and wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for making that moment even more memorable. I will refer your work as much as I can. Everyone deserves an officiant like you.

  • Julia is an absolute delight. When she crafts a ritual for you, she has this uncanny ability to winnow away all the tired cliches and speak only the words that ears and hearts will truly hear. She can read people and situations with the utmost of tenderness, wit and diplomacy, while simultaneously casting a spell of deep love, understanding, healing and togetherness to honour and serve what needs witnessing or celebration. The ritual she crafted for when I left my beloved old apartment of 14 years gave me the permission I needed to move forward peacefully during what would otherwise be a sticky transition. Equally, she made the adventure of marrying my beloved Josh feel somehow both profound and profoundly whimsical, just like us. Her ability to hone in on the words and gestures that will make the deepest impact because they sound like the translation of one's own heart and being is a gift that befits any part of your life that needs honouring. I love her respect for tradition where it matters and her appetite for the unconventional where it makes a speech sing with personal resonance, and I love love love how she married us. HIRE HER if you want your ceremony to be a sacred spell of the highest order.
