My name is Dona, and I am a local Wedding Officiant and elopement expert. My background is in Food and Beverage, and in 1996 I purchased my first upscale café — a journey that eventually led me into the bridal industry.

Being a Wedding Officiant has been my full-time career — and my only career — since 2010, so when you hire me, you truly have my full attention.

If you have attended a local wedding over the past 16 years, chances are you may have seen me. I have had the honor of marrying more than 1,600 couples, so I would like to think I’m pretty good at what I do. 😊

One of the advantages of being established in the industry for so many years is the relationships I have built with some of the best LOCAL wedding professionals around. From photographers, florists, and event rentals to caterers, planners, venues, bridal shops, DJs, and more — I am always happy to share trusted recommendations to help make your day extra special.

When you hire me, you don’t just get an officiant — you also get years of wedding planning experience and local knowledge.

I am honored to have received the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award thirteen years in a row, along with more than 250 five-star reviews on WeddingWire and over 100 on Google.
