Officiant
You’re getting married — and your ceremony should feel like the heart of it all.
Whether you’re planning a big Michigan wedding, an intimate backyard celebration, a beach elopement, or a vow renewal tucked away in a quiet garden, I’m here to create a ceremony that feels intentional, joyful, and completely you.
I’m Shannon, an ordained wedding officiant based in Allegan County and trusted by couples across West Michigan. I craft personalized ceremonies that are warm, heartfelt, and full of meaning - ceremonies that reflect the story you’ve lived and the future you’re creating together.
With years of experience, a passion for storytelling, and more than 177 five-star reviews from Michigan couples, I specialize in:
-
Custom wedding ceremonies filled with emotion, laughter, and memorable moments
-
Elopements and micro-weddings in parks, beaches, and gorgeous outdoor spaces
-
Vow renewals that honor the legacy of your journey together
-
Legal marriage license signings for couples seeking a simple courthouse alternative
My couples describe their ceremonies as personal, joyful, inclusive, and “so us.”
Many guests even assume we’ve known each other for years, which is exactly the feeling I want you to have: safe, supported, and celebrated.
If you want a ceremony that’s warm, meaningful, beautifully written, and stress-free from start to finish, you’re in the right place.

What the couples have to say
Working with Shannon was really a pleasure - she was extremely responsive and gave us tons of suggestions as we were planning our ceremony. Being a same-sex couple, we found Shannon incredibly accepting and willing to go above and beyond to find verbiage that we wanted to use during the ceremony. The best part was that she was very good at mitigating hiccups during the ceremony itself (we had a number of oopsies, but she seamlessly corrected them and made it seem like that's how it was supposed to go. When she offers a rehearsal...probably take it! lol) Overall, would definitely recommend Shannon as your officiant!
