I’m Ariela, a queer wedding planner, officiant, and ceremonial guide based in Northern California. With 15+ years in community arts and creative production, I bring both logistical expertise and soulful presence to every celebration. My ceremonies weave together ritual, somatic grounding, and intentional design—so your wedding isn’t just an event, but a meaningful expression of your love and values.

I live in Fort Bragg with my husband and three children and am well connected with the wedding and bridal community on the north coast including photographers and florists. I’m committed to helping couples in any way I can to ensure they’ll have a stress free day making their marriage official.
