Creating Meaningful, Memorable, and Personalized Wedding and Memorial Ceremonies
Congratulations! This is such an exciting time, and your celebration should be as unique and special as your love story. I’m Joan Bogwill, a certified wedding officiant serving Naples, Fort Myers, and the greater Southwest Florida (SWFL) area. My greatest joy is crafting heartfelt custom ceremonies that reflect who you are, honor your journey, and create beautiful memories for you and your loved ones.

Maybe you’d like to include cultural traditions, a special ritual, handwritten vows, or even your little ones or fur baby, whatever speaks to your heart, I’ll help bring it to life with warmth and care.

While weddings are my passion, I also create and officiate ceremonies for life’s most precious moments, from baby blessings and home blessings to the celebration of life and funeral ceremonies. Every milestone deserves to be honored with love and intention.
