“For those envisioning a wedding ceremony that transcends the traditional church setting—one adorned with the sight of migrating whales or rare birds—Josie is the ideal professional to engage.

As an individual who has grappled with social anxiety throughout my life—where my initial response to being observed is to question the observer's perception, quickly followed by an impulse toward physical confrontation—the notion of sharing such a profoundly personal life event with an unknown officiant was decidedly unappealing.

Nevertheless, I was largely unaware of Josie's presence for the duration of the ceremony. She possesses a remarkable talent for seamlessly receding into the background. The experience felt less like a stranger officiating and more akin to a magical Sierra Nevada Red fox emerging from the redwoods to perform our vows, addressing us with the subtlety of falling deciduous leaves in late autumn. Her presence was exceptionally discreet.

Josie executed the ceremony precisely according to our specifications, making the entire occasion feel effortless and entirely authentic. Given her exceptional empathy and keen ability to discern individual preferences, I am confident she can customize a ceremony to align with any couple's desires. Subsequently, she shared details of her extensive background in childhood performance, which elucidates her complete comfort with being the focal point of attention and in front of a camera. Should a couple seek a more dynamic and expressive officiant, I am certain she is equally capable of delivering that style. She is an outstanding individual, and it was a distinct privilege to have her officiate such a momentous occasion.”
