Every love story deserves to be honored beautifully.
Hello Beautiful Soul! I am Raven. My path began with the intention of being a fashion designer, then evolved into many years of travel through sacred places around the world — churches, shrines, cathedrals, temples, mosques, mountains, springs and landscapes revered by diverse cultures. Later I went on to study anthropology, world religions, mythology, metaphysics, symbolism and shamanism, as well as the practices people have used throughout time to connect to and celebrate the Divine.
I am excited to bring all of that depth into weddings, elopements and vow renewals in Costa Rica — crafting each ceremony with artistry, structure and reverence, and offering services in English, Spanish, or a blend of both. The ceremony is the most intimate part of any wedding, where the beloveds make their vows to each other, so make it truly special and let your ceremony express who you are in a beautiful way. I have over 20 years of experience holding ceremonies and feel honored to be able to offer this to you.
Every altar is designed specifically for you. No two ceremonies are ever the same.
A simple barefoot elopement and an elaborate celebration with friends and family can both feel deeply personal. The defining quality is never size — it is intention. Explore the ceremonies I create, then let's talk about yours.
A selection of ceremonies designed around your story — spiritual, traditional or entirely your own, with words, symbolism and ritual chosen to reflect who you are as a couple. Honoring love in all its aspects: inclusive, interfaith or non-denominational.

A blessing ritual is a wonderful way to honor your journey as a couple, to bless you both and clear the path ahead — performed before or after your event, added onto a ceremony led by another officiant, or simply as a lovely thing to do on your honeymoon.
