About Annemarie

About This Wedding Work That I Do…

For more than a decade, I have worked with couples of all faiths and traditions (religious, spiritual, secular) as an ordained Non-Denominational Wedding Officiant & Celebrant, traveling throughout the Seattle/Puget Sound area and Washington State.

I am best suited for a couple who recognizes their ceremony is the “heart” of their wedding day.

This is a couple who invests a little more for the comfort and assurance of knowing they are engaging an experienced, skilled and devoted Wedding Officiant who is passionate about a sweetly designed ceremony.

As shared by couples on sites such as The Knot and Wedding Wire, I am grateful for the appreciation I receive for my time and care, no matter if a wedding guest list is 2 people or 200.

I am on the Faculty of the Celebrant USA Foundation headquartered in New Jersey.  I have earned two Diplomas of Celebrancy from this prestigious East Coast institution.

About Me

I come to this work with a big and sensitive heart.  I possess an open-minded, inclusive and curious nature and a life philosophy that is spiritual in nature with love and kindness at its center.

I was raised in a Christian home in the Mid-west and very much appreciate the traditions, beliefs and rituals of all world religions, faiths and paths.   I am a voracious reader, learner and seeker and I am one of those people who is extra happy when they have a book.

I am married to the love of my life and we live in Olympia, on a mini-farm that is sanctuary to rescued special needs and older dogs.

Greg and I are devoted to dog rescue and rehabilitation and this shared passion is a mission and purpose that fuels our love and commitment (in addition to each other, of course!)  In my marriage, I have the profound opportunity to truly love and be loved and to walk through life with my best friend.

Before I found this work, I spent 15 years building, managing and selling 2 successful event planning companies in Redmond, WA.   Prior to this, I was a television/radio news anchor/reporter in three markets and hold a B.A., in Journalism from Syracuse University, New York.
