All Ceremonies

Bidden or unbidden, change is always present. Ceremony eases the transition from one life stage to another. As a ceremony specialist, I design custom ceremonies to mark all of life’s big changes - from beginning to end.

I’m Shea Armstrong, a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant and Professional Wedding Officiant. I’m a heartfelt storyteller who thrives at crafting meaningful ceremonies during life’s important moments. I serve the Kansas City metro area, Lawrence, and Topeka, and destination ceremonies.

When done well, I believe ceremony holds the power of transformation and deepens our experience of life. That one-of-a-kind ceremonies create and celebrate kinship. Something we all need.

Love is love is love. I honor all backgrounds and personal values. Your unique life is welcome and celebrated here.
