About Katrina

wedding officiant in Austin Bluebonnets

Relaxing in the Hill Country!

I am a teacher, writer, thinker, reader, wife, sister, daughter, friend, dancer, vegetarian, dreamer, lazy Buddhist, bird-watcher, fire-spinner, gardener, improv-performer, native Texan, wedding officiant, and lover of life.  My husband and I love to travel, and we have been to all 50 states!

I officiate weddings all over Austin and the Greater Hill Country area.  In addition, I teach at St. Edward’s University.  I have also taught at KIPP Collegiate and LASA—and occasionally run into my students at weddings!

My basic view of the world could be summed up thusly:  Be good to each other. Help one another.  Forgive one another. Love one another.

How did I end up as a wedding officiant in Austin? 

When my husband and I decided to marry, we discussed what marriage meant to us and what we wanted.  As a result, writing our wedding ceremony was incredibly empowering.  It made me realize I want to share this gift with other couples.  This experience inspired me to become a wedding officiant in Austin.

As your officiant, I will start by asking some questions that will help you develop and articulate what marriage means to you as a couple.  My goal is to help you create a ceremony that is significant and personal.

A native Texan and Austin resident, I perform weddings and commitment ceremonies all over Austin and the greater Hill Country area.  I believe in the power of ceremony and also perform funerals or memorials as requested.
