Arielle Patno, wedding officiant, at a ceremony

Meet Ari

A little bit of background.

I was raised in a home that celebrated everything. With a Catholic mom and Jewish dad, my siblings and I were encouraged to explore different levels of spirituality and religious backgrounds.

Fast forward to my 2015 wedding… Our wedding officiant situation was a dramatic one (a story for a different time) and changed our entire perspective on the wedding process. In the days leading up to our ceremony, we truly embraced the mindset of remembering the point of a wedding: it comes down to two people vowing to spend their lives together. Forget the bells and whistles and the complicated family dynamics. A ceremony can hold every tradition that matters to you, and nothing that doesn't.

Today I live on the eastside of Cleveland with my firefighter husband, our two elementary aged girls, and three geriatric doodles.
