Hi, I'm Dylan.
I believe couples deserve an officiant who is dependable, thoughtful, organized, and invested in getting things right.
An unexpected beginning, a lasting calling.
During the pandemic, two of my best friends asked me to officiate their wedding. It was a spur-of-the-moment request, but there was never any hesitation. I felt honored to play a role in one of the most important days of their lives.
Since then, I've officiated ceremonies as intimate as a 10-person backyard wedding and as grand as a 300-plus guest celebration at the Field Museum. No matter the size or setting, my focus remains the same: earning your trust and creating a meaningful ceremony that reflects the two of you.
My style is warm, personal, and engaging—meaningful stories, the right amount of humor, and a calm presence that helps everyone feel fully in the moment.
It should feel like you.
Listen carefully
I learn how you met, the moments that shaped your relationship, and what you want the day to feel like.
Follow through
My work in medical sales has taught me that details, preparation, commitments, and genuine relationships matter.
Keep you present
Warm storytelling and the right amount of humor help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully in the moment.

What feels right to you?
There is no right answer. A ceremony can hold more than one feeling at once.
Warm & heartfelt
A story-forward ceremony with space to slow down, reflect, and feel it all.
- ✳Personal storytelling
- ✳A meaningful reading
- ✳Vows in your own words
Light & playful
Joy, humor, and the little moments that always make your people smile.
- ✳The story of how you met
- ✳A few familiar laughs

Quiet & intimate
Unhurried words, deep connection, and a moment that belongs to the two of you.

There's room for your whole story.
Your ceremony can be reverent or playful, modern or steeped in tradition. My job is not to make it look a certain way. It's to help it feel honest, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.
Simple steps. Meaningful moments.
We connect
Tell me the date, the setting, and what you want this moment to feel like.
We make it yours
Your stories and ideas become a ceremony with your voice at its heart.
You stay present
On the day, I guide the words and the moment while you take it all in.
