Why Heartfelt is Different
Not just an officiant. A ceremony designer.
Joan Bogwill--Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, Licensed Florida Wedding Officiant, 5-Star Reviews, Custom Ceremony Writer
Congratulations on your engagement! Because your love story is one of a kind, your ceremony should be too. From the moment your eyes first met to the moment you say "I do," your journey is uniquely yours.
As a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant®, a credential earned through the Celebrant Foundation & Institute, a rigorous, accredited program dedicated entirely to the art of ceremony design, I bring expertise in the writing, the structure, the language, and the heart of the ceremony so it feels completely yours.
From historic homes in Fort Myers to the breathtaking beaches of Naples and countless beautiful venues throughout Florida, your heartfelt custom ceremony will be one that makes people laugh, cry, and genuinely feel the love and joy of your special day. The result is a ceremony your guests will never forget. And that's exactly what you deserve on one of the most important days of your life.
"Joan guided us gracefully through each step. Her calming presence eased our jitters, and her heartfelt words brought tears to our eyes. We received countless compliments about how engaging and meaningful Joan made our ceremony."

A note from Joan
I came to celebrancy after decades of collecting life--a career in education, thirty-five years of marriage, worldwide travels that expanded my understanding of how people love and grieve and celebrate.
That experience is what I bring to your ceremony. Not a formula. A genuine investment in you and your story, from our first conversation to the moment I pronounce you married.
Honoring Every Couple, Every Life, Every Story
