About Us
At Weddings Aberdeen, we believe your wedding day should be a true reflection of you—your love, your story, and your dreams for the future. Since 2018, we've been honored to serve couples in the Aberdeen area and beyond, offering meaningful wedding officiant services and personalized planning support. While we're proudly based in Aberdeen, we're more than happy to travel to your chosen location for a small mileage fee—because your perfect day might be just a little further down the road, and we’re happy to meet you there.
When you choose Weddings Aberdeen, you're not just booking an officiant—you’re gaining a team that genuinely cares about making your ceremony heartfelt, memorable, and uniquely yours. Every couple we work with receives a personal planning session where we get to know you and your vision, along with a fully customized ceremony script created just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of something traditional or modern, religious or non-religious, or incorporating special elements like a unity sand ritual, unity candle, or a tree planting ceremony, we’re here to bring it all to life in a way that feels true to you.
We take pride in our commitment to excellence—arriving early, helping coordinate a rehearsal if you wish, and making sure every detail is just right so you can relax and fully enjoy the moment.
Our mission is simple: to create a ceremony that feels like you. Not just another cookie-cutter wedding, but one that’s filled with intention, personality, and love. You are one-of-a-kind—your wedding should be too. Let’s make your day as special and unforgettable as the love you share.
About Annette
Owner
Annette, an ordained minister and seasoned wedding planner, brings a rich tapestry of life experience and open-hearted wisdom to every ceremony she creates. Raised in a non-denominational Christian household in the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska, Annette's early life was rooted in values of compassion, spirituality, and community. Her journey has since taken her across the country—from Alaska to Washington state, where she continued to expand her worldview, and then to a meaningful time living on a Native American Reservation. Each stop along her path added new layers to her understanding of culture, tradition, and the human spirit.
Eventually, Annette found herself on the Big Island of Hawaii, where she immersed herself in a wide array of spiritual and cultural experiences. Surrounded by the island's vibrant energy and deep-rooted traditions, she explored diverse belief systems and ways of connecting with the divine and the natural world. Her journey ultimately led her to Aberdeen, South Dakota, where she now serves couples with the same open heart and thoughtful presence that has guided her life.
Along the way, Annette pursued an MBA while simultaneously diving deep into the study of world religions. This blend of academic insight and spiritual exploration helped shape her unique approach as a naturalist and spiritualist who embraces all belief systems—religious, secular, and everything in between. Her open-minded, inclusive philosophy allows her to connect authentically with couples from all walks of life.
As both a wedding planner and officiant, Annette is deeply committed to making your wedding day a reflection of your unique love story. Whether you're looking for a traditional ceremony, something spiritual but not religious, or a completely secular celebration, she will work closely with you to ensure every detail feels personal, meaningful, and true to who you are. With Annette, your special day won’t just be beautiful—it will be unapologetically you, down to the last heartfelt moment.
About Jordan
Jordan, a licensed clergyman with a warm and approachable presence, originates from the charming city of Aberdeen, South Dakota. Although born there, he spent much of his childhood and adolescent years growing up under the California sun in the vibrant city of Burbank. These contrasting environments helped shape his unique worldview, blending Midwestern values with a laid-back, West Coast openness. After graduating high school, Jordan made the honorable decision to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps (USMC), where he gained not only discipline and resilience but also a deepened sense of service and leadership.
In early 2011, following his military service, Jordan returned to his roots in Aberdeen. It was there that he reconnected with his hometown community and embraced a new chapter in life—building a family and continuing his spiritual journey. He is happily married to his wife, Annette, and together they are proud parents of a beautiful daughter who brings endless joy to their lives.
Raised in the Christian faith, Jordan has always embraced spiritual growth and connection, yet his outlook is far from rigid. He is known for his vibrant, compassionate, and open-minded personality, which makes him a truly exceptional and relatable individual. Whether you are religious, spiritual, agnostic, or non-religious, Jordan is deeply committed to creating a ceremony that is meaningful, personalized, and fully reflective of your values and wishes. His goal is to honor your unique story with authenticity and respect, ensuring that your special day feels true to who you are.
