Married by Miller

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.

I'm a secular, feminist millennial . My ceremonies are all about you, just the way your wedding day should be. I know I've done well when your family are convinced I've known you for years after they soak in the ceremony - because I aim to feel like your friend, not like a third parent. I want the process of creating your ceremony to be as fun, easy and stress free as possible for you, and I'm available to help nearly 24/7. I also have a curated library of readings and traditions I shared with all my couples to help inspire your ceremony plans and save you some Google searches!

In three words: Collaborative, Fun, Organized
