Weddings and Eulogies
We have a process to create meaningful life ceremonies, build togetherness and create impactful moments that leave lasting memories.
What We Offer
Kokoro requires a profound respect for the sanctity of people, life and love. To tie our moments to eternity and make our moments significant. These are all consistent themes, resting on common truths about life. As a result, we made our personal experience as a wedding officiant and eulogist a service. The reason is because we enjoy the nature of the work.
In either case of wedding or eulogy, we infer our work with depth and a process to ensure that we get the moment right. This means, there are interviews, and times to gather an understanding of the people involved.

Our wedding officiant service is rooted in personal experience delivering a wedding, a Pre-Canna similar experience (exploring marriage for the sake of creating stronger unity) and creating cohesion within the wedding party.
Rather than just show-up the day of the wedding, it is very important to have an officiant design an experience rooted in understanding of the people to be joined.
From there, our process involves meeting with the couple one week before where we would have them get a room at a quaint inn.
We meet in the room and have a conversation rooted in appreciation, dreaming, planning and finally understanding their version of a successful wedding day and more importantly, a successful marriage.
We hold a trusting and open space where the couple gets to talk about their pre-marriage relationship and their way of working together. We discuss their ideas on married life and topics like home location, children, finance management, shared responsibility and hear the couple speak their minds.
With all the chaos of making wedding plans, sometimes the romantic notion of seeing the other person falls off the schedule. At a time where the best experience is closeness, most times, the couple is pulled in different directions and romance suffers.
After our meeting in the room, we leave the couple with a bottle of wine and a series couples exercises designed to bring a sublime pre-wedding connection which makes the wedding day more likely to have that experience of being very special and eternal.
The officiant prepares a wedding process with both legal components, added themes and the vows of the couple. The couple can fine tune if uncomfortable or even add new ideas that came after later.
The officiant can tell stories, provide poetic toasts and integrate other elements to make the ceremony and reception more special.

The loss of someone we love can be too much and inhibit our ability to want to speak at their funeral. Sometimes, there are familiar reasons for not wanting to choose a person in the family.
A eulogy is a speech about the life of a person who dies. This speech is normally delivered by close family but sometimes people don’t want to give the eulogy or sometimes it is just about stories only they know.
When you hire a eulogist, you hire a person who talks to multiple people closed to the deceased. They start to gather a poetic element about the nature of the deceased person’s life. In the final moments above ground, their life is repackaged to represent a life well lived.
A euolgist creates a large life story with poetic and tangent elements which show the deceased both in the way you knew them but also in a larger way. Sometimes this larger way, helps healing.
In all talks, a theme of love, familiar closeness, forgiveness and fragility of life are expressed so people can access the preciousness of time and the sanctity of life.
Cost for this service is $395.
