BIO:
As a bilingual traveling wedding officiant, I’ve stood at the intersection of culture, love, and storytelling—officiating weddings from vineyards to detention facilities. In this 20-minute session, I’ll share practical strategies and heartfelt insights on how wedding professionals can create ceremonies that go beyond the script and reflect the true essence of every couple.
Attendees will walk away with:
- Tools for building emotional connections with couples during planning
- Tips for creating bilingual and multicultural ceremonies that honor language, heritage, and identity
- Simple rituals and storytelling techniques to personalize the ceremony
- Best practices for collaboration between officiants, planners, and vendors
- Actionable steps to make your services more inclusive and welcoming to all
