You bring the story. Together, we make a ceremony you can recognize yourselves in.
A ceremony should feel like an invitation to be yourselves.
I’m Willa Reed, the writer and officiant behind Vowenlea. I love the small, specific
things: how you met, a habit that makes you laugh, the promises you already keep.
Our first conversation is about you, not a script. Tell me what you want the room to feel
like, what you’d rather leave out, and whether being the center of attention sounds
wonderful or a little daunting.
Some couples want a thoughtful story. Some want a few direct sentences and time with their
guests. Both deserve care. I work with couples of all identities and backgrounds, and use
the names and words you choose.
Before the day, we agree on the wording and walk through the practical details. On the
day, I arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony to check in with you and coordinate the cues
with your venue or planner.
Warmly, Willa
The writing, together
You get the final say.
The written-for-you package includes two 45-minute planning calls, a story questionnaire
and two rounds of edits. I can help you shape personal vows without writing away your
voice.
The first draft arrives at least three weeks before the ceremony, and we settle the
final words one week before. For a shorter timeline, we agree on what is possible before
booking.
