Ciao tutti! My name is Hersey Forehand and I am an American that has been lucky enough to call Tuscany home for the past five years. A graphic designer by trade, my road to becoming a celebrant is a long and fun story. In 2005, while talking with our best friends about their upcoming wedding, they were disappointed with the difficulty in finding a celebrant and did not want a traditional church wedding. On a whim, I volunteered to become an officiant and had the honor of marrying my two best friends on a mountain top overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. From there, one wedding, lead to another and soon, I had began to officiate many, many weddings for friends and family.
However, after we moved to Tuscany in 2019, I realized that I missed making an impact in others lives. I love being a part of the celebration, when two people, that love each other unconditionally, commit themselves to each other – whether it is just the two of them or tons of friends and family – it is my honor to be there, joining two lives into one.
