You're not only marrying your best friend,
You've unlocked a new level of life. Being in a committed relationship is an invitation to go deep into yourself and really commit to the work of self-awareness, acceptance, and compassion required to truly commit to one another on a profound level. As you move through the planning in these upcoming months, you will have many opportunities to get clear about the type of marriage you want to create. You will consider what intentions you want to set for this marriage and what vows you want to make to one another that accurately reflect what you know needs to be declared as a heartfelt promise. For some, you will take this opportunity to make this process even more powerful by exploring yourself and how you show up to this relationship, perhaps by using some popular and time tested tools, like the SYMBIS tool and my self-guided Marriage Prep course. For others, you will utilize a reflection tool, like an Engagement Journal from Seasons Journals, where you can process, in real time, some of the thoughts and feelings that make themselves known during this planning phase. Working with an officiant who sees the transformation opportunity within a wedding, invites you to move through this process embracing the growth opportunities with open arms, knowing that everything we meet in a journey is designed to support the creation of your best self. |

"...from our first call with Amy, we knew we were in good hands and could sit back and actually enjoy the ceremony planning process! Her questionnaires helped us narrow down what was most important to us in a marriage and in our ceremony and her final script was a beautiful reflection of us and our values. We especially loved the “love story” section she included from our private answers to her! We have received so many compliments from our guests on Amy and our ceremony and truly cannot thank her enough for being the one to help shepherd us into this next chapter of our relationship. <3 Highly recommend!' - Riley & Sam |
Before the WeddingYou Go Deep Within. I Give You the Tools.Before we even get to planning the ceremony, we open ourselves up to the process by going within in a meaningful way. This exploration is guided, utilizing my curated and created resources.
One at a time, you will be invited to take part in various experiential processes with the intention to self-reflect, excavating that which is deep within you, so that you can clearly understand yourself independently as well as within the container of your relationship. You will receive a Seasons Engagement Journal as a welcome gift, and regularly scheduled prompts to utilize it to maximize your engagement process. You will be invited to take the SYMBIS Assessment, to learn about yourself and each other. You will have access to How to Vow: 21 Days to Writing Vows That Transform Your Marriage - a course I wrote to help couples write authentic and heartfelt vows that go deeper than just words. I ask questions through interviews and surveys - you tell me all the goods, including the stories, intentions and promises we infuse your ceremony with. Your intentions and promises are so deeply informed by your willingness to undergo the process of marriage transformation. A "First Look" at the ceremony draft will be available 45-60 days before your wedding. I will edit it until it's perfect for you. |
The DayI Officiate. You Get Married.To get ready for "The Day" we either have an in-person dress rehearsal, or a virtual walk-through - to go over all the important logistics.
On site 45-60 minutes before your ceremony start time, I collaborate with other members of your wedding team to make your day a smooth success. I create a memorable ceremony experience for your guests by speaking clearly and authentically, conveying all of the meaning and emotion that went into the ceremony we collaborated on. Most importantly, I hold space for the two of you as you step into your marriage together. |
After the WeddingYou Honeymoon. I Make it LegalI sign and mail your marriage certificate to the county for processing, and I will follow up until your marriage is considered filed and legal with the state. I guide you through obtaining your records, changing your name and beginning to announce to the world your new legal status! |
"From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely comfortable. Her experience was incredibly reassuring, and her guidance helped us create a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Coming in from Germany to get married, we loved how she seamlessly incorporated elements of German heritage into our unity ceremony—it was such a fun and special touch! The worksheets she provided helped us shape a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. She’s an absolute pro at what she does. Beyond that, Amy has such a modern and inclusive approach. It was clear from the start that she creates a space where everyone feels valued and seen. My dad kept mentioning how much he liked her and even asked if we had known her for a long time—that’s how natural and welcoming she was. She also helped us refine our vows, which made them even more special. We’re so grateful to Amy for making everything come together so beautifully. Highly recommend!" - Kailie & Thorben |
"Her approach to writing and officiating our ceremony was truly unique and so personal. She took the time to craft a ceremony that reflected our values, personalities, and love for each other, which made it feel even more special. Throughout the process, Amy was incredibly thoughtful and communicative. She guided us through every step, providing suggestions while also making sure that we felt comfortable with every decision. It was clear that she cared deeply about making our ceremony meaningful, and that sense of care truly showed on the day of the wedding. On the big day, the ceremony was nothing short of beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests about how warm, heartfelt, and unique it was. People commented on how personal and intimate the ceremony felt, and how perfectly Amy captured the essence of our relationship. If you’re looking for an officiant who will take the time to make your ceremony truly special and tailor it to you as a couple, we highly recommend Amy F. Aurore. Her professionalism, warmth, and ability to create a memorable, personalized experience made our wedding day even more incredible!" - Jenna & Jack, 2024 |
