Premarital Conversations

Don’t just plan your wedding, prepare your marriage

Marriage Preparation that Matters

All couples can feel lost in wedding planning details. Premarital Conversations offer dedicated time for each other, and your marriage. These focused discussions are helpful for any engaged couple, whether or not I am also your wedding officiant. Each session provides you with a supportive, non-religious space to explore and deepen your partnership in a thoughtfully guided process.

Many marriage preparation programs use questionnaires, online surveys and other standardized assessments. Premarital Conversations are led by your needs as individuals and partners. You can expect to clarify your understanding of your strengths and challenges, independently and together. You will also discover opportunities for growth, within yourselves and between each other.

We took advantage of Premarital Conversations with Hannah and would highly recommend everyone do the same. The sessions are bonus time together, allowing us to talk about topics we may not have considered on our own. The Premarital Conversations were of such value to us, and Hannah is wonderful.

What's Included

My Premarital Conversations program includes three 75-minute sessions offered in person or via Zoom. I also include optional “homework” for you to complete between sessions to further expand and reinforce each discussion. Our guided conversations move from exploring your relationship to envisioning your wedding day to considering your married life beyond the big event.

Premarital Conversations ideally occur after you have made your initial planning decisions but before the ramp up to the wedding. Sessions are often scheduled 3-4 weeks apart but adjustments can be made to work within most time frames. The three-session program is $575, or $500 if I am also your wedding officiant. Additional sessions can be included as needed.

Stress-free counseling & support

With over 400 ceremonies completed and 13+ years officiating I have developed a process that helps me to deeply understand the ceremony while not adding stress or taking up too much of your time.
01
Past
Our first session is dedicated to your history as individuals and your story as a couple, from meeting to engagement. To support further connection at home, together you’ll create your Relationship Vision.
02
Present
Our second session focuses on your wedding, sharing the joys and challenges of planning and your hopes and fears about the big day. To support deeper contemplation at home, you’ll each write Wedding Reflections.
03
Future
Our final session envisions life as a married couple, considering your day-to-day decisions, long-term goals and shared values. To support greater alignment at home, together you’ll make your Marriage Collage.

Learn More

My Premarital Conversations program is designed to strengthen and enrich your relationship prior to marriage. Sessions utilize my Psychosynthesis Practitioner certification from The Synthesis Center, as well as my training in premarital counseling and pastoral care at The New Seminary.

Premarital Conversations are intended to support healthy connections and are not a substitute for counseling or psychotherapy, or for the diagnosis or treatment of mental illness. Couples grant me permission to discuss sessions in confidentiality with my professional supervisor.

Client Reviews

I have over 325+ 5-star reviews across Google, WeddingWire, The Knot, and Zola.

Hannah was one of the highlights of our wedding process. We met with her for Premarital Conversations and are so glad we did. She helped make lead-up to our wedding feel special and intentional rather than just a lot of planning on top of our already busy lives. Hannah is truly the best!

Rachel + Dan
Whately, MA

Our experience with Hannah far exceeded every expectation. We did Premarital Conversations so we could refocus on what really mattered in the months leading up to our big day. We valued our conversations throughout the process, looked forward to them every time, and still talk about them today.

Mary Grace + John Northfield, MA

Working with Hannah was easily the best decision we made on our wedding journey. We definitely recommend the Premarital Conversations as well! Hannah’s kindness and care are ever-present in her helpful guidance of navigating the marriage process.

Jess + Andrew Boston, MA

We first met Hannah through Premarital Conversations and were immediately taken by her calm, grounded presence. The conversations allowed us to set aside time to think about why we were getting married and allowed us to pause and breathe during the chaos of wedding planning. I cannot recommend them enough.

Natalie + Tim New York, NY

Hannah was generous and wise throughout the planning process. We did Premarital Conversations and highly recommend them. I know we are stronger because of them, and we were already strong. Hannah’s support for our marriage is still so meaningful in our hearts. Her service is nothing short of life-changing and profound.

Val + Michael Florence, MA

Premarital Conversations were the only time during the entire planning process that we thought about why we were getting married and who we are as a couple. We are so thankful to Hannah for making the space for us. Her wisdom was invaluable. Working with Hannah was the best thing we did.
