CELEBRATING LOVE, HONORING LIVES
My Story
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read my story. My name is Joan Bogwill, and I am a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, licensed wedding officiant, and a nondenominational minister. My passion is designing, writing, and officiating custom ceremonies that celebrate love and honor life. That is why I decided to open Heartfelt Custom Ceremonies, LLC.
After retiring from a fulfilling career in education, my husband and best friend of 33 years and I spent quality time with family and traveled the world. However, a series of life events led me to realize the importance of celebrating life and its memorable moments.
As a certified wedding and funeral celebrant from the reputable Celebrant Foundation and Institute, I am grateful for the opportunity to create custom ceremonies that bring joy and laughter to couples as they celebrate their love story. And I am humbled to bring comfort to families who grieve the loss of a loved one.
