Our Services
Inclusive, personal, and crafted with care — serving Maryland, DC, and Virginia
At She Presides, every ceremony is grounded in warmth, intention, and authenticity. As an ordained deacon in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), I bring pastoral presence, deep listening, and a deep respect for all expressions of love — LGBTQIA+, interfaith, secular, spiritual, and non-traditional.
Whether you need a simple legal signing or a fully bespoke ceremony, your experience will be guided with care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Preparing for Life Together
Meaningful conversations and practical tools for your marriage.
Prepare for your marriage as thoughtfully as your wedding.
Your wedding celebrates your love and the life you’re building together. Relationship coaching offers time to nurture that foundation—to explore your hopes, talk through expectations, and develop practical tools for communication, connection, and navigating disagreements.
I’m pleased to partner with Emily Griffin, MSW, LICSW, LCSW-C, of Happy Parents, Happy Babies, to offer a warm, affirming coaching experience. Emily helps couples explore their shared values, boundaries with extended family, and decisions about their future—including whether children are part of that vision.
Like your ceremony, your preparation for marriage should honor who you are. Couples of all genders, identities, faiths, and family structures are welcome.
Relationship coaching is an optional service available alongside any She Presides ceremony package. Sessions are arranged and billed separately through Emily.
