For The Ones Redefining Partnership

Who want something more than the Wedding Industrial Complex.

Who want to say the True Thing about who they are, not meet expectations.

Who are past outdated definitions of marriage because love isn't defined by a wedding day.

Testimonials

“It’s a relief to distinguish between what we care about versus what the wedding industry says we should care about.” 
- Kip and Laura

"Our guests told us that it was the most touching and emotional wedding they've ever attended. It was amazing to hear our story with such honesty and depth, yet in a way that is so relatable. Dana, thank you so much for helping us find this vision for our wedding and for bringing it to life." 
-Lee and Kathelia

Making Couples Cry at the Altar since 2018


My work is to get to the heart of the story beneath our experiences. I love people and I love helping people their stories in a million beautiful ways.

A month before my wedding, my partner and I were in a panic: we couldn’t find an officiant. We wanted someone who could speak to our story in all its complexity. We were looking for a unicorn in this confusing, stressful wedding industry.

Our solution: I wrote the ceremony myself. I used traditional vows and untraditional storytelling. 

I knew I wanted to be there for other couples who also valued the richness of life. I became an officiant; the Story Driven Wedding is the result of my years of telling couple's stories to support you in connecting your story to your wedding process.

But what about Covid-19?

The Story Driven Wedding is not a list of "must haves" and "shoulds". It's rooted in your relationship and values. Which means it works no matter your constraints, pandemic or otherwise.
