About Steele Away Weddings

Steele Away Weddings

Commissioner/Officiant

I would be honored to help you create a personal and unique ceremony and marry you in the location of your dreams. I will hike to the top of a mountain or join you at your favorite venue. Custom and basic non-denominational civil ceremonies in the North Central and Valley regions of Virginia. We can work from a template or I can write a bespoke ceremony just for you and your day. I am non-discriminatory and inclusive in my practice. I respect and want to work with people of all races, colors, religions, belief systems, genders, gender identities or expressions, sexual orientations, national origins, disabilities and ages.

I have performed over 180 wedding ceremonies and am a trained public speaker. I help your voice and your personality shine through while keeping you comfortable while saying your vows. I move around during the ceremony so I'm not in all of your pictures, especially at the end for your kiss to seal your promises. Its your day, let me help you find the perfect words for it.

In three words: Collaborative, Positive, Reassuring

    Steele Away Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. From the moment I met the officiant, at a local wedding expo, her warm smile and contagious laughter immediately put me at ease. She was clear and prompt in all of our communications leading up to the big day, and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. On our wedding day, her heartfelt and fun approach made the ceremony feel so special and personal. She has a wonderful energy that just makes you want to get married and enjoy each other. I would highly recommend Steele Away Weddings to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your wedding day truly joyful and memorable.

    My partner found Gwen knowing that I was not interested in anything traditional nor was I keen on a male officiant. She was absolutely perfect for our very small, outdoor wedding. We collaborated on a ceremony that was uniquely ours, and she was open to however we wanted the day to be. We spent time together so she could get to know us as a couple, and she made me feel at ease with her life experiences and caring to learn why we were choosing now to be married. Our day was precisely a reflection of us, and we would highly recommend Gwen to any other couple no matter your circumstances or background.

  • The most amazing wedding officiant!

    Words cannot express how amazing Gwendolyn is as an officiant and the uniqueness she helps to infuse into each and every wedding ceremony. She made the entire wedding planning process feeling special from the beginning of our communications and ensured we felt excited and comfortable throughout the wedding ceremony. She is a fantastic public speaker and engages the guests in special ways without taking away from the ceremony. We cannot recommend her enough to couples getting married in Virginia. She is truly one of a kind and made our wedding feel perfect!
