Hi, I’m Carla, a legally authorized wedding officiant based in the Washington D.C. area. I’m all about creating moments that feel genuine and joyful. While I primarily serve the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, I’m always up for an adventure. I’m passport ready and happy to travel wherever love takes you. For couples coming from out of town, I can help set up your elopement, connect you with trusted local vendors, and guide you through the marriage license process so everything feels smooth and stress-free.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Carla on two weddings. I enjoyed her easy going professionalism and felt at ease with her and her wedding planning team. They are the best in the DMV and I’m happy that they wanted me to share my skills. She was easy to schedule time with to discuss any questions and share my concerns. I especially liked that she met with me and told me the details of the couple, the layout of the location and where the best vantage points were to ensure that I captured the key moments during the ceremony. She also walked me around the area with the couple so that we could all get to know each other and form a good connection. During the ceremony, she gave good cues that were discreet and helpful to ensure that I was well positioned. Afterwards, she reached out to confirm expected dates and payment for my services.

Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

Father David is a wedding officiant based in the Washington metropolitan area. Father David is there to help curate the perfect ceremony that fits your vision and your faith, while offering a modern and authentic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I are a same-sex couple who both come from Catholic backgrounds. Although we decided to have a garden ceremony and not a church ceremony, it was important for our families to feel at home. Our initial ask of Fr. David was not to officiate our ceremony (because we had a courthouse ceremony also planned), but to deliver a homily. However, over time, my and my partner's plans expanded slightly to include other aspects of a traditional Catholic wedding (blessings for the parents and godparents, the cord ceremony, etc.). Fr. David was more than accommodating and so supportive throughout our journey. With his support and understanding, we felt very comfortable incorporating these aspects of tradition that mean so much to us and our families, while still making the ceremony uniquely our own. He is so gentle, encouraging, and warm, and strikes the perfect balance between signifying authority given the importance of the occasion, and providing commentary to elicit laughter. We feel very blessed for Fr. David to be a significant part of our special day!

On the day of, her warm and caring demeanor put us both at ease, and she delivered a heartfelt ceremony that reflected our personalities and relationship perfectly.

It felt like the ceremony was in good hands, and Elliott was flexible with any small issues that arose from sound equipment or last-minute adjustments.

My Promise To You Personalizing your special day to fit your visions of making it official. Your unique love story is so important to how you got here and I'm here to help you tell that story. I hope to make the process of becoming one as smooth as possible for you and your partner.

When it comes to selecting a wedding officiant and relationship coach, there are few individuals as extraordinary as Christina. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear that she was not just an officiant but also a deeply compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested coach who cared about the success of our marriage just as much as she cared about our special day. Christina went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, leaving us with an experience we will cherish forever. Christina’s involvement in our wedding planning process was nothing short of transformative. She took the time to truly get to know us as individuals and as a couple, listening intently to our story, values, and dreams for the future. Unlike other officiants who may simply focus on the ceremony, Christina provided us with a unique blend of guidance as both an officiant and relationship coach. She encouraged us to reflect on our relationship in meaningful ways, offering advice and tools to help us grow stronger as a couple. One standout moment was a personalized exercise Christina created just for us. It involved us answering questions about each other in separate sessions and at the end listening to how each of us answered the questions was such an intimate touch, and which she later wove into our ceremony. Not only was this an emotional and heartfelt experience, but it also deepened our connection and reminded us of the foundation of our love. On our wedding day, Christina was nothing short of magical. She brought a warmth and energy to the ceremony that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Her words were heartfelt and tailored to reflect our unique love story, weaving in anecdotes and insights that made the entire experience feel deeply personal. Christina’s delivery was flawless—her tone, pacing, and sincerity captivated everyone present. She struck the perfect balance between humor, emotion, and wisdom, making the ceremony both uplifting and unforgettable. Many of our guests commented afterward that it was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremonies they had ever witnessed. What sets Christina apart is her commitment to ensuring that your relationship is as strong as your wedding day is beautiful. As a relationship coach, she provided us with invaluable advice and practical tools to carry into our marriage. One piece of advice she shared—about approaching challenges as a team rather than as individuals—has already helped us navigate life together with greater understanding and empathy. Her coaching sessions felt like talking to a trusted friend who genuinely wanted to see us succeed. Christina’s insights were profound, yet she delivered them in a way that was accessible and relatable. She left us feeling empowered and excited about our future together. Christina is more than just an officiant; she is a guide, a mentor, and a true advocate for love. Her ability to connect with people, craft unforgettable moments, and provide lasting wisdom is unmatched. She made our wedding day an extraordinary celebration of love and gave us the tools to build a strong and happy marriage. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day—and your relationship—special, Christina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I've known Kim for a long time. I saw when her business started and how it's grown into something so beautiful that has blossomed and helps people. She puts her heart and professionalism into every ceremony she performs. No two ceremonies are alike because the couples and their stories are different and personal to them. My husband and I were Kim's 100th couple that she married. It's so amazing that she's almost married 250 couples by now!!! We were so happy and honored to have her write and lead our ceremony. Our ceremony was very intimate with my husband, myself, our young children, and Kim. This was the second marriage for the both of us. It was in a private and beautiful place that we chose that was special to us and our story. Kim met us there. Kim gets to know the couple getting married, the story of how they met, and what they want to include in their ceremony. If you need help with ideas she has a wealth of resources to help you get exactly what you want for your most special day. She's led many little and big ceremonies. We're so thankful for Kim and Fanciful Hearts Wedding Ceremonies. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry us. We highly recommend them. Thank you.

Modern. Soulful. Unforgettable. I custom-craft non-religious, Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+ weddings that grab all the feels. Your love is one-of-a-kind — and your wedding ceremony should be, too. Blending tradition with a fresh perspective, honoring every story, and presenting warmth, heart, and just the right touch of humor, I strive to create customized wedding ceremonies as unique as you are. Whether you're planning a beach wedding, rooftop celebration, or backyard gathering, I’ll meet you there.

Rabbi Astrachan made our interfaith LGBTQ wedding ceremony such a profoundly memorable experience and I’m struggling to find the right words to make sure this review is written in a way that showcases how much it means to us. From our first virtual Zoom meeting to the goodbyes after the ceremony, it was evident that Rabbi Astrachan cared about us as a couple and making our ceremony meaningful, and his constant smile and calmness really made the entire process amazing. Between the meetings, the homework, and the help with making sure we had all the right ritual items, Rabbi Astrachan was always a text, email, or phone/Zoom call away to help us make the ceremony unique for us as a couple. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! Thank you, Rabbi, for making our day so memorable, meaningful, and full of smiles and love. We will remember it for the rest of our lives!

Sharron was a God send... My original Minister cancelled on us at the last minute, I made a frantic post in my Bridal group begging for help and she stepped right in and right up offering kindness and assurance that she'd be there and all would be well- she did and it was! She flawless executed our ceremony and is forever a part of our hearts!
