A Local Officiant Who Knows Brown County
Derek has called Brown County home for more than 20 years. Before creating Brown County Ceremonies, he spent 13 years operating Rawhide Ranch USA, helping facilitate weddings and celebrations from intimate gatherings of about 15 guests to events with more than 200. His roles included venue host, caterer and coordinator.
That background means your ceremony is approached as one important part of the entire wedding day. Timing, communication with the venue and other vendors, and helping the ceremony flow smoothly all matter.

Your Story. Your Ceremony.
You do not have to fit your relationship into a one-size-fits-all wedding script. Couples can choose a traditional, romantic, relaxed, spiritual, secular, lighthearted or highly personalized style. We talk through your story, vows, traditions and the things you definitely do—or do not—want included, then build the ceremony around those choices.
Brown County Ceremonies proudly serves all couples and welcomes different backgrounds, beliefs, identities and traditions.
Serving Brown County and Southern Indiana
Services are available throughout Brown County, Nashville, Bloomington, Columbus, Martinsville and surrounding Southern Indiana communities. If your wedding is outside this area, send an inquiry with the location and we can discuss availability.
