Ceremonies crafted with you for you a rite of passage for Life
"Pure magic!"
Since 1991, Corrina has worked with couples to bring forth the Ceremony faithful to the essence of the Union. Love is playful, funny, wild and brilliant. From grandeur to simplicity, from mountaintop, beach, lighthouse and forest weddings, to castle, vineyard, steam train, kayaks(!); there is no comparing one to another, for each is shaped by what a couple is 'seeing' as truly representing Who They Are. This is my joy, to usher forth that which has never been seen before.
Your Wedding, Your Way
It begins with your Love Story, that story contains the essence of why you already know you have arrived at a threshold. Let's Pause. Let's breathe this in; what just happened, what's happening here... now you are shaping how this goes forward into the World. Now we are in new terrain.. and we are about to give it words.. and from there, Make Voice. This is worthy of Celebration and that's why we are here.
"You two carve anew the tenets of matrimony"
Here we stand, on the leading edge; standing at a place we have never stood before. A Marriage is taking place; A Mutual Arriving. The Wedding then is a public declaration that something of magnitude and grace has occurred..., is occurring, ongoing, Here, Now..., in the lives of two people, each to the other.
The Wedding Ceremony brings to the light of day a heretofore essentially unseen Event. It serves as a touchstone into the future. Here words are called forth that more often reside unspoken in the heart; 'making the invisible visible'; that is how we co-create a powerful rite of passage for your Lives.
"Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin,
Dance me though the panic till I'm gathered safely in,
Lift me like an olive branch, And be my homeward Dove,
Dance me to the end of Love
Dance me to the end of Love.."
--Leonard Cohen
"The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments."

“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
