Joanna is a writer, performer, and experienced officiant who marries couples of all backgrounds within 100 miles of Washington, DC. Raised in a multi-faith home and having lived abroad, she loves weaving cultural and religious traditions into ceremonies. (Don't worry, they're still mostly secular and feminist!) Joanna had an elopement, a formal wedding, and a separate reception—so she truly gets it! She’s ordained through AMM and ULC, trained in the Business of Officiating, and is a member of IAPWO. In off hours, she walks her rescue dog, Corrigan, reads or sings. She can’t wait to help you create a celebration that feels just right.

Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

Rev. Elle Sojourner is a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant™, Teacher, and Author. As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls. Although she is formally educated and trained, life, love, and experience have been her most profound masterclass. She helps others grow in love through weddings, funerals, and Soul Circles­™. 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.

When signing letters to my mother, my father always signed them, "As Ever, Ed." One day she asked him why he didn't end the letters with, "Love, Ed." He replied that "As Ever" means that he was and will be always as ever in love with her. Our sincere wish for all couples is to always be As Ever in Love.

Laura Ballou provided a truly loving, joyful, and meaningful ceremony for our wedding day. Her communication during the planning process was clear and the message she delivered was heartfelt, personal, and felt like a true blessing. Her presence made our day extra special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiate to join us in marriage.

I am so grateful that we found Ceremony Officiants. I chose this company based on their incredible reviews but I would have never expected that this would be the part of my wedding that all the guests raved about! I had no idea what I wanted to have in our ceremony. I only knew how I wanted it to feel and just based on that, and getting to know us, our officiant did an incredible job writing the perfect ceremony. Then on the day of, she arrived early, calmed my husbands nerves, and absolutely killed it. Her delivery was nothing short of phenomenal!!!! I cannot even count how many people came up to us and told us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. Considering that the cost of our officiant was so much less than the cost of all of our other vendors, and was the most highly praised, it was worth every penny and then some! Just choose them, you won't regret it!

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

Whether you're planning a beach wedding, rooftop celebration, or backyard gathering, I’ll meet you there.

We had Rabbi Astrachan officiate our wedding in December of 2022 and having him was one of the best decisions we made. The ceremony is arguably the most important part of the wedding and he assured everything he said was catered to us as the couple. He was enthusiastic and captivated our guests and kept them interested in the ceremony. He did a great job explaining the traditions of a Jewish wedding ceremony to our guests who were from different backgrounds. I highly recommend booking with Exchanging Rings / Rabbi Astrachan, you will have the most beautiful ceremony if you do.

She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and that care showed through in every part of the ceremony…even down to getting it finished and us pronounced right at 11:11! I think we had 30 seconds to go but she did her best to listen to my wishes! It was such a bonus that she also did photos for us—she captured beautiful moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone warm, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, I highly recommend Gemma!
