Rev. Elle Sojourner is a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant™, Teacher, and Author. As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls.

Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

Father David is a wedding officiant based in the Washington metropolitan area. Father David is there to help curate the perfect ceremony that fits your vision and your faith, while offering a modern and authentic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I are a same-sex couple who both come from Catholic backgrounds. Although we decided to have a garden ceremony and not a church ceremony, it was important for our families to feel at home. Our initial ask of Fr. David was not to officiate our ceremony (because we had a courthouse ceremony also planned), but to deliver a homily. However, over time, my and my partner's plans expanded slightly to include other aspects of a traditional Catholic wedding (blessings for the parents and godparents, the cord ceremony, etc.). Fr. David was more than accommodating and so supportive throughout our journey. With his support and understanding, we felt very comfortable incorporating these aspects of tradition that mean so much to us and our families, while still making the ceremony uniquely our own. He is so gentle, encouraging, and warm, and strikes the perfect balance between signifying authority given the importance of the occasion, and providing commentary to elicit laughter. We feel very blessed for Fr. David to be a significant part of our special day!

We didn't know where to start when it came to our ceremony, but Robert helped guide us so well and tailored our ceremony to fit our needs perfectly. He even was very flexible with what he wore, and also including my mother-in-law in the ceremony for a reading! After the ceremony, he made sure to file our wedding papers quickly as well as sending photos. Highly recommend working with him!

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

While I had no connection with Rabbi Jeffrey Astrachan before the counseling/wedding planning process, I will now consider him family for life. From our first Zoom meeting together, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and helped us navigate through the entire process. Though living far away, he was always just a text or email away and answered all our questions. He provided lots of options for customizing our ceremony with regard to the level of religiousness and incorporation of family traditions, and ensured smooth flow throughout the ceremony. He recommended a great ketubah website and also reviewed it for the English and Hebrew portions. He made a point to get to know us throughout the process and used that information to personalize his remarks. We had a large variation in the type of guests, ranging from non-Jews with very little religious exposure to a couple of guests much more observant, and all enjoyed the ceremony and Rabbi and appreciated the explanations he provided, as well as the personal touches he added. 100,000% would recommend to anybody looking for a Jewish or interfaith ceremony.
