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.

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.

  • Serves Mount Rainier, MD

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.

She arranged virtual meetings with us every week in the time leading up to the wedding. She presented us with a range of options for the different components of the ceremony, offering various translations and interpretations of traditional texts, and explaining the meaning and significance behind each ritual. She encouraged us to choose what resonated with us, and was respectful and accepting of all our decisions. Rabbi Lia made our ceremony personal and meaningful. We are so grateful to have had her as our officiant — she helped make our wedding day truly memorable!

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’m the voice behind The Vow Studio, creating thoughtfully written, deeply personal wedding ceremonies designed around each couple’s story. I take the time to truly get to know you, your relationship, your dynamic, and what matters most, so your ceremony feels natural, meaningful, and completely your own. My goal is to create something that feels effortless, genuine, and reflective of who you are as a couple.

Abby officiated a wedding I attended recently, and it was genuinely one of the most beautiful and memorable ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. What stood out most was how deeply personal and thoughtful everything felt. It was clear she spent significant time getting to know the couple — not just the basics of how they met, but the deeper layers of their relationship, their families, the moments that shaped them, and the future they hope to build together. Every part of the ceremony reflected that care and intention. Abby has this rare ability to be equally warm, funny, articulate, and commanding. She brought the entire audience into the couple’s love story in a way that felt emotional, engaging, and authentic rather than performative. There were moments everyone laughed, moments people teared up, and moments where you could feel the entire room completely locked in. One of the most touching parts was how beautifully she incorporated both families and spoke about the parents who raised the bride and groom into the people they are today. It added so much depth and heart to the ceremony. I’ve attended many weddings where the officiant fades into the background or feels like an afterthought, but Abby elevated the entire experience. She created a ceremony that felt deeply human, intentional, and unforgettable. Any couple would be incredibly lucky to have her officiate their wedding!

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

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.

My husband and I truly could not have pictured a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Rabbi Astrachan took the time to get to know us personally, which made our ceremony feel uniquely tailored to us. Our guests asked if we had known him our whole lives and are still talking about how beautiful and engaging the ceremony was. He provided the picture mixture of tradition and humor to our entire wedding day. We are so grateful to have had such a thoughtful and genuine person marry us. Truly beyond 5 stars. We very much look forward to staying connected with him for years to come.

Gwen did an amazing job helping us with planning our wedding reception. She met with us weekly to brainstorm and organize everything related to our reception. She came up with some great ideas on how to make a backyard feel like a wedding reception venue. Gwen made a very good first impression with me when trying to find a coordinator and she exceeded all of my expectations. You can tell that she is a professional and very passionate about what she does. She took a lot of of the stress out of the planning process by leaning on her experience and made a huge difference for our reception leading up to it and day of. I highly recommend Gwen to anyone needing a reception coordinator!
