North Georgia Mountain Wedding Officiant
BEN BOYKIN
LICENSED OFFICIANT
You guessed right, we are a husband and wife team! I love all things sports almost as much as coffee and our golden retriever, Cheddar.
I have been performing ceremonies for 8 years, and it is an honor to be present with the love that two people have for each other and to be asked to hold that love, protect it, witness, and celebrate it. It is a joy to work with couples who love each other to help design and participate in their day, which is a deeply meaningful peak life experience.
I passionately believe in the necessity and the power of ceremony and ritual as part of the human experience. Ceremonies and rituals help us transition and evolve from one state of being to another.
They allow us to acknowledge growth and change, they create meaning, they make moments sacred, and they act as a source of security and stability to pass us through to the next phase of our lives.
Ceremonies and rituals create connections for the individual to him/herself, to another person, to the community, to the holy spirit, and to the present moment.
Ceremonies speak your truth in a way that is uniquely yours. Every couple, every family, every person has a story that deserves to be celebrated.
