FIRST WEDDING
I officiated my first wedding in September of 2019 for two of my best friends, Annabelle and Yajaira. I introduced them to each other and I had no clue they would date and end up married but their journey was very beautiful and inspirational. Officiating their wedding really touched me because as a queer woman I know how precious and real these moments are.
WHY OFFICIATE
I want to officiate weddings for people of color and queer folk. I want them to feel special and seen on one of the most important days of their lives. I know how hard our road to love is and I want to celebrate that moment the best way I can.
FAITH BACKGROUND
I was raised as a non-denominational Christian and I still believe in God. Nowadays my faith is more spiritual vs religious. I know and appreciate the journey to God is different for everyone and I love sharing and communing in other faith practices as it helps me grow and understand God on a deeper level.
ABOUT ME
I am from Southern California but I have I lived here in San Francisco off and on for the last 14 years. I moved here for college and I have been in love with the Bay Area every since. I went to undergrad (B.S. in Biology) and grad school (M.S. in Behavioral Health) at the University of San Francisco. My day job is a Human Resource Manager and in my free time you can find me hanging out with friends, riding my bike, and enjoying live music.
“Renesha took the time to get to know us and made the ceremony feel so personal to us. She made our guests laugh, cry, and above all just fostered a warm and welcoming energy with our guests. Highly recommend.”
