Ar’Knesha J. Campbell-Wade

I’m Ar’Knesha J. Campbell-Wade—an ordained wedding officiant, single mother of two, and the visionary behind Purely Promised Ceremonies LLC, based in Findlay, Ohio, serving couples across Ohio and Southeast Michigan, including Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Monroe, and Detroit.

This path didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with a breakthrough. After enduring eight years in an emotionally draining relationship, I chose to reclaim my life. I became ordained not knowing exactly where it would lead—only that it felt aligned with something deeper. Four months later, a couple found their way to me through a mutual connection. They needed someone to lead their ceremony with care. I said yes. That “yes” became the first promise I ever officiated—and the beginning of a life filled with meaning, connection, and celebration.

At Purely Promised Ceremonies, I specialize in crafting personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect your values, culture, and love—whether you're planning a traditional wedding, non-traditional union, spiritual vow exchange, LGBTQ+ celebration, or a non-legal commitment ceremony that honors your truth outside the bounds of legal paperwork.

Each ceremony I write is completely unique, grounded in your story and infused with intention. I blend warmth, presence, and poetic language to create moments that feel honest, moving, and unforgettable. This isn’t a script read from a page. It’s a reflection of your love—spoken into life.

This work is more than a service. It’s a calling born from resilience and restored through grace. It’s where storytelling meets sacred space. It’s where promises are spoken, not just for the day—but for a lifetime.

Let’s create something meaningful, beautiful, and true.

📍 Serving couples in Findlay, Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Monroe, Detroit, and surrounding cities in Ohio and Michigan.
✨ Because your love is extraordinary—and your ceremony deserves to be, too.
