Our Philosophy
Every couple has a story.
A wedding or handfasting is more than a legal event. It is an opportunity to honor the experiences, values, and hopes that have brought two people together.
There is no single right way to celebrate love. Some couples are religious, some spiritual, some Humanist, and some simply want a ceremony that feels true to who they are. Some are creating new traditions, while others are reimagining old ones.
My role is not to fit you into a script. My role is to listen.
Together, we'll create a ceremony that reflects your relationship, your values, and the life you're building together. Whether your celebration is intimate or grand, traditional or unconventional, it should feel unmistakably yours.
Common Light Ceremonies welcomes people of all backgrounds, identities, beliefs, and family structures.
Because the most meaningful ceremonies aren't the ones that follow a script.
They're the ones that tell your story.
🌿 Commitment Ceremonies – Symbolic
Love, commitment, and chosen family take many forms.
Common Light Ceremonies creates personalized commitment ceremonies that celebrate the unique ways people build lives together. Whether you are marking a new beginning, reaffirming your promises, celebrating a poly symbolic commitment, honoring chosen family, or creating a ceremony that doesn't fit traditional categories, I'll work with you to create a ritual that reflects your relationship and your story.
There is no single model for a meaningful relationship. Every ceremony is designed with curiosity, respect, and genuine care.

My Philosophy
Every relationship has a story worth honoring.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, beliefs, and family structures. Ceremonies should reflect the people at their center—not force them into someone else's expectations.
My role is to listen, collaborate, and create a meaningful ceremony that celebrates your commitment with authenticity, dignity, and joy.
Because there are many ways to build a life together, and every story deserves to be honored in its own light.

🕯️ Memorials & Celebrations of Life - Humans and Pets
Every life leaves a story behind.
Common Light Ceremonies creates personalized memorials and celebrations of life that honor the individuality, relationships, values, and legacy of the person being remembered. Whether your family is religious, spiritual, Humanist, Pagan, interfaith, or simply seeking a meaningful gathering, I'll work with you to create a ceremony that reflects the life that was lived.
There is no single right way to say goodbye. Some families want a quiet and reflective service. Others want storytelling, music, laughter, and shared memories. Together, we'll create a ceremony that honors the unique person at its center.
Services are available for both human beings and the animal companions who have journeyed with us.

🕯️Pet Memorials

When we lose an animal companion, it can feel like we have lost a piece of our hearts. I want to work with you to give voice to that loss, and remember your loved one’s life with respect and love. Appropriate for any pet and all traditions. Virtual ceremonies available upon request.
My Philosophy
Grief is deeply personal, and so is remembrance.
I approach every family with compassion, curiosity, and respect. I welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, identities, and family structures. My goal is not to tell you what a memorial should look like, but to help you create a meaningful gathering that honors the person or animal you continue to love. Love knows no time or space, and I want to give reverence to that.
Because every life deserves to be remembered in its own light.
