Utah Online & International Weddings

During the ongoing pandemic, many things have been in upheaval, and weddings are no exception. Among all of life's rites of passages and celebrations, weddings are both a ritual of commitment and an important legal process.  

People around the world have been left hanging as international borders were slammed shut and plans postponed, to many, indefinitely. Many states and countries around the globe took steps during 2020 to ease at least the legal aspect of getting married, but none have taken it farther than a little county in the heart of the state of Utah. 

Because of their hard work, there now exists a legal way to get married internationally and in the US, even if the two parties are located in different countries! 

As an ordained wedding officiant who resides within the borders of Utah, I am empowered to perform online wedding ceremonies for any couple worldwide! 

The process is simple! 

First - Contact me for a FREE consultation to ensure your desired wedding date is available! Email heron@sacredcirclechurch.com or call or text me at 801-917-4909 

Second Obtain a Wedding License from Utah County Online

Third - I will perform your online ceremony and you will receive your certified copy via email shortly after the ceremony is complete! 

My fees are very inexpensive - Only $75 USD for a simple online ceremony! Ceremonies are typically hosted via Google Meet or Zoom. I can also mail you a commemorative paper wedding certificate (not to be confused for the legal document) with your names and wedding date that you may sign in person with your witnesses whenever you are able to do so. 

Please contact me for your online wedding at heron@sacredcirclechurch.com or at 801-917-4909 

I'm also available for Online "Destination" Weddings (see below) or more customized online ceremonies for a higher fee 

Please note: You must have two witnesses over the age of 18 who are also able to be present in the online meeting. They do not have to be in the same location as either bride or groom, but I will need their full legal names to enter into the record.  You may re-broadcast, record, or invite as many people to the ceremony as you like.

Utah Online "Destination" Weddings

Do you want a virtual "Destination Wedding"? Utah is home to many amazing landscapes, and I am willing to work with couples to help them achieve their dream virtual destination wedding. I can take you to the top of a beautiful mountain, beside a red rock formation or to the gorgeous salt flats! Packages can include a custom commemorative certificate, photos of your ceremony location and even soil or other mementos (where it is legal to collect such items) of the exact location of the wedding. 

I live in the Salt Lake Valley and many gorgeous and historic places are very close by. The location you choose will be listed on your wedding license as where you were married. I am also happy to talk about performing your destination wedding at locations farther away such as Arches, Zions or other national parks or preferred wedding destinations.

Please let me know if you are interested in this service! While most destinations within Utah should be do-able, there may be some remote environments where connectivity is more difficult. But nearly anywhere in the state is at least feasible!

Hidden Peak, Snowbird Utah is a classic destination that is easy to reach even for the non-skier. The tram to the top of the mountain is open year-round and the stunning Summit Lodge provides the critical internet access that makes this location accessible for online weddings. 

Alta, the Mountain Paradise





During the summer, the lush mountain meadows of Alta, UT are filled with wildflowers and the occasional moose. Also a  world-class ski resort, the snowy peaks covered in pine trees is a showstopper of a background for a wedding!(Moose is not guaranteed to be present)

Stunning Salt Lake Sunsets





Perched at the edge of  the Great Salt Lake, the original historic Saltair building was built in 1893 as a recreational destination, and a previous incarnation was once home to the largest dance floor in the US. Now a concert venue, the Great Saltair and the area around it continues to be a draw for tourists and provides stunning sunset views over the water.

The historic mining town of Park City is not only a gorgeous wedding location, but it has both a world-renowned ski resort and is the home of the Sundance international film festival. All of the mountains around it are incredibly scenic in any season, but are perhaps most photogenic in the fall, when the slopes are a blaze of yellow, red and orange.
