Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
I'm an independent wedding officiant based in Brooklyn. I create custom ceremonies that let your personality shine, and tailor the content to the event — whether it's formal or casual, toned-down or laugh-out-loud, black tie affair or running to City Hall.
I'm so happy you're here — let's tell your story.
About
I fell in love with weddings after being asked in 2020 if I would officiate for two dear friends. I'm a lifelong writer, and I love to dive into the creative process of getting to know each couple, together and as individuals. My best moments are highlighting what makes you authentically, joyously, weirdly, truthfully you.
I affirm and celebrate all identities, expressions, and relationships. Your story is safe with me — I'm here to bring it to life.

“Our ceremony was more perfect than we could have imagined.”
It was simple and sweet just as we hoped it would be, there were plenty of laughs and just the right amount of tears. Our guests were raving all night about how beautiful the ceremony was and what a great job Katja did with it.

“Our ceremony celebrated the love of our friends and family and the love that Shane and I share. Katja helped us make the most beautiful memory of all. She has all of our love and gratitude.”
