To Celebrate Love
There are moments in life that ask us to stop.
To gather.
To witness.
To remember.
To celebrate.
To grieve.
To welcome something new.
I love helping people create ceremonies that honour those moments in ways that feel deeply personal and true to who they are.
As a celebrant, I offer weddings, celebrations of life, birth blessings, and other ceremonies marking meaningful transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who are looking for something a little outside the expected, something that reflects their own relationships, values, stories, and connection with the living world.
As a Minister of Walking Prayer under the umbrella of the Buddhist Association of Interfaith, I am able to officiate weddings and other ceremonies marking life’s important transitions. I bring that role together with my love of creating ceremonies that feel personal, meaningful, and true to the people at the heart of them. For me, ceremony is not about following a script. It is about listening for what matters. Together, we can weave words, music, silence, stories, symbols, ritual, nature, humour, tears, or whatever else belongs in the moment. Sometimes the simplest gesture can carry the most meaning. I am particularly drawn to ceremonies that deepen connection: to ourselves, to one another, to those we love, and to the Earth and the many beings with whom we share our lives.
Whether you are celebrating a beginning, honouring an ending, or standing at one of those tender thresholds in between, I would be honoured to help you create something that feels like yours. If you would like to talk about a ceremony, please get in touch. We can begin with a conversation and see what wants to take shape.
‘With Teresa as your celebrant you are in good hands. Her wide open arms reveal a heart so big it contains all the emotions and energy that has brought you together – joy, wonder, sorrow, beauty, mystery, love, loss… She becomes you, your loved one, your family and friends converting into words, symbols and ritual what everyone is experiencing.’ —Al Etmanski, author of Courage to Care: Ripples of Love in Action
