ROOTED IN LOVE

Honoring Love, Your Way

Rooted in Love: Culturally-Centered Wedding Ceremonies

Officiant Services by Dr. Tanya Crabb

Love is powerful. Love is sacred.
And for many of us, love is also legacy—woven with culture, tradition, resilience, and joy.

As a licensed Marriage Officiant in the state of Nevada, I offer a limited number of culturally-centered ceremonies each year for couples seeking something more than a script. This is for those who want a celebration that honors not just their partnership, but their people—their roots, rituals, and everything that brought them to this moment.

Whether you're jumping the broom, honoring your elders, blending spiritual practices, or simply reclaiming joy as an act of resistance—I’m here to help you co-create a ceremony that feels personal, grounded, and deeply meaningful.

What to Expect

Culturally-Centered by Design
Your love doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It carries family, culture, story, and identity. I honor that by creating ceremonies that reflect who you are—whether that includes ancestral rituals, multilingual blessings, spiritual symbolism, or your favorite playlist.

Your ceremony should carry your voice, your history, and your values. From honoring elders to sacred rituals or blended family traditions, I create space for it all—with care, respect, and intention.

Rooted in Respect & Intention
From Black diasporic traditions to global cultural practices, I hold space for the sacred. Each ceremony is crafted with care and cultural humility—never appropriation.

Crafted With Heart
Each ceremony is more than a script—it’s a co-creation. I listen deeply, honor what matters most to you, and help shape a ceremony that resonates with your truth.

A Celebration That Feels Like You
This isn’t about fitting into a mold. It’s about making space for your truth, your values, and your connection—in a way that feels natural, affirming, and unforgettable.

A Vibe That Feels Like Home
Whether you’re gathering in your backyard, at a cultural landmark, or in sacred community, I help set the tone for a ceremony that feels soulful, connected, and unmistakably yours.

Rooted in Love: Relationship Readiness & Reflection

Start the Conversation Early
Before we meet, I ask each partner to complete a quick Relationship Reflection Form. It’s not a test—it’s a tool to help us go deeper, faster. Your answers are confidential and help me tailor our time together.

Nevada-Based & Intentionally Limited

I currently serve couples throughout Nevada. To ensure each ceremony receives my full presence and creative care, I accept a limited number of ceremonies each year.
