Officiating Love: A Classic Wedding at Denver’s Historic Wellshire Inn - 6/22/2025
There’s something incredibly special about standing at the altar—not as a guest or a photographer—but as the officiant, entrusted with telling a couple’s love story and setting the tone for one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. On June 22, 2025, I had the absolute honor of officiating a beautiful, classic wedding for Anna & Carter at Denver’s historic Wellshire Inn, and it’s a day I won’t soon forget.
A Timeless Venue in the Heart of Denver
The Wellshire Inn is one of those venues that effortlessly blends elegance, history, and warmth. With its grand architecture, lush grounds, and old-world charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for a wedding that felt both timeless and deeply personal. As guests arrived and took their seats, there was a quiet anticipation in the air—the kind that only comes from knowing something truly meaningful is about to happen.
A Ceremony Rooted in Love & Intention
From the moment the ceremony began, it was clear how intentional Anna & Carter were about every detail. They wanted a ceremony that felt classic and heartfelt, while still reflecting who they are as individuals and as partners. Together, we crafted a ceremony that celebrated their journey, honored the commitment they were making, and invited their loved ones to feel fully present in the moment.
Standing before their family and friends, Anna & Carter exchanged vows filled with sincerity, warmth, and just the right touch of emotion. There were smiles, misty eyes, and that unmistakable feeling of love wrapping around everyone in attendance. As an officiant, these are the moments that make my heart swell—the quiet pauses, the shared laughter, and the way two people look at each other when they know they’re choosing forever.
Why Officiating Weddings Is So Meaningful to Me
Officiating weddings allows me to be part of a couple’s story in a uniquely intimate way. It’s not just about guiding the ceremony—it’s about holding space for love, commitment, and the promises being made. Every couple brings something different to the altar, and it’s an honor to reflect that in words that feel true to them.
This Wellshire Inn wedding was a perfect example of why I love what I do. It was classic without feeling stiff, emotional without being overwhelming, and deeply personal in all the right ways.
A Beautiful Beginning
As the ceremony concluded and the couple was pronounced married, the joy was palpable. Applause filled the space, smiles stretched wide, and the celebration officially began. It was a beautiful start to their marriage and a reminder of why thoughtfully crafted ceremonies matter so much.
I’m endlessly grateful to couples who trust me with such an important role on their wedding day. Being able to officiate weddings like this one at the Wellshire Inn is truly an honor—and one I never take lightly.
If you’re looking for a wedding officiant who believes your ceremony should feel just as meaningful as the rest of your day, I’d love to connect and help bring your vision to life.
